  • React on Rails does not yet have generator support for building new apps that use CSS modules and hot reloading via the Rails server as is demonstrated in the shakacode/react-webpack-rails-tutorial. We do support this, but we don't generate the code. If you did generate a fresh app from react_on_rails and want to move to CSS Modules, then see PR 175: Babel 6 / CSS Modules / Rails hot reloading. Note, while there are probably fixes after this PR was accepted, this has the majority of the changes. See the tutorial for more information. Ping us if you want to help!
