Govuk Components

Overview

The GOV.UK Components for Ruby on Rails is a robust gem designed to deliver a collection of reusable components that align with the GOV.UK Design System.

With comprehensive documentation and up-to-date examples, developers will have the resources they need to implement and customize components within their Rails applications effortlessly.
