Tictac Toe using React Context API with Ruby On Rails
16 Min. Read
Jul 23, 2019
ReactJS React Tic Tac Toe Game Nodejs Ruby On Rails Rails Context API JSX
Today we will see how to build a beautiful tic-tac-toe game.
For Ruby On Rails Developers
- Install Ruby
- Install Latest
RailsGem.
1
rails new react-context-api-tic-tac-toe --webpack=react
This will generate a new Rails app in react-context-api-tic-tac-toe folder.
Why Rails?
We also need a back-end to authenticate User and store the game scores for that user.
We will be using Devise to add authentication.
How do I setup React app?
From Rails 5 you can specify a webpack like react while generating app and
all the necessary configurations are auto generated.
In this app too, in app/javascripts/pack/hello_react.jsx you can see a
simple react app ready to run.
You just need to:-
Add generate a controller say
homeswithindexaction, because without a controller you wont be able to use the app.1
rails g controller homes index
In
config/routes.rbadd a line1
root 'homes#index'
In
layouts/application.html.erbadd line inheadsection1
<%= javascript_pack_tag 'hello_react', 'data-turbolinks-track': 'reload' %>
Then run rails server
bash rails slocalhost:3000will get you1 2 3 4 5
Homes#index Find me in app/views/homes/index.html.erb Hello React!
We will clear up the file
views/homes/index.html.erb
React App Development
The UI of the app will gonna look similar to this. There might come some UI enhancements later on.
Building components
First of all we will remove some sample code from hello_react.jsx and rename it to tictactoe.jsx. Then
create a folder app/javascripts/components to store all of our components.
We will be using bootstrap for building beautiful UI.

You can simply transfer state from parent to child or use Context API to transfer model/context data to underlying components. But the later one is easier to maintain.
