Find out how to use both Tailwind CSS and Bootstrap in the same Rails application.Compared to a few years ago, it's a blast to develop Rails apps with modern frontend tools these days. The full JS and CSS ecosystems are first class citizens in any modern Rails app these days. Let's quickly forget the sad days of webpackers and the like.

Even though Rails 8 will even more embrace things like #nobuild, importmaps etc. we usually stick to CSS frameworks and some of their provided JS components just for simplicity. All served within the Rails app with the jsbundling-rails and cssbundling-rails gems.
