I’ve wanted more compact syntax for rendering #ViewComponent in #Rails and finally got around to making a proof-of-concept.
Before:
<%= render Admin::HeadingComponent.new(“Hi”) %>
After:
<%= c.heading “Hi” %>
Inspired by the `tag.strong “Hi”` Rails tag proxy.
Curious if others do anything similar!

Found https://ruby.social/@owais/111960149742686423 (@owais) which is rather similar.
That approach seems to predefine helpers that don’t hide the namespace. In this app, I prefer it hid. I think we might also want support for fallback namespaces, e.g. [Admin, AdminAndPublic].
We don’t nest components beyond an Admin/Public namespace, but it makes sense to support, of course!
Attached: 1 image I've always felt rendering ViewComponent with Rails is a bit too verbose. Especially if you have namespaces. E.g: render(Admin::Navigation::Item.new(label: 'Example')) I've used a helper to make it nicer on 2 projects so far: vc.admin.navigation.item(label: 'Example') Maybe make it into a gem? (Might seem a bit over-engineered on a first glance. But it's something that might be called 100s-1000s of time on a page, so had to make sure it's fast enough. #rails #ruby #ViewComponent
