Overview
Hot Glue is an innovative tool designed for developers working with Rails in the Turbo era. By building upon the foundation laid by earlier admin-interface style scaffolding systems, it modernizes the CRUD-building experience to make it faster and more efficient. Utilizing Turbo-Rails and Hotwire, this tool enhances productivity by ensuring users can perform operations without leaving the page, promoting a seamless workflow.
What sets Hot Glue apart is its ability to work harmoniously within a Turbo-backed Rails application. Developers can either use it to create a fully functional admin interface or utilize it to scaffold specific sections of their application while treating the remainder as an API. This flexibility makes it a valuable asset for both rapid prototyping and more complex projects.
