Turn on React Server Components
Turn on React Server Components in my React on Rails app (no license required). Follow https://reactonrails.com/docs/pro/react-server-components exactly, including the renderer and packer setup it specifies.
Quick Start
Paste into Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, or any AI assistant. Each prompt points the agent at the official docs so it doesn't guess.
Start a new app
Set up a new Rails app with React on Rails, using TypeScript and server-side rendering. Follow the official guide at https://reactonrails.com/docs/getting-started/create-react-on-rails-app and use the exact commands and versions it specifies — don't improvise.
Add to an existing Rails app
Add React on Rails to my existing Rails app with TypeScript, keeping my current routes and conventions. Follow https://reactonrails.com/docs/getting-started/existing-rails-app and don't change any gem or package versions it doesn't tell you to.

React on Rails Pro
Higher-throughput SSR and RSC support, same Rails workflow.
Pro is an upgrade tier for teams that need more rendering throughput, React Server Components, streaming, and guided support without replacing their Rails app.
Why Teams Use It
Keep React close to Rails.
Rails-first React
Render React components from Rails views and controllers without splitting your product into separate apps.
Production SSR
Use server rendering, hydration, and streaming paths that fit mature Rails deployments.
OSS and Pro
Start with open source docs, then add Pro when SSR throughput, RSC support, or guided support matters.
