Great episode Chris, super cool explanation how it works behind the scenes!

These are my favorite kinds of things to learn and teach. Learning behind the scenes really helps you become a better developer. πŸ’ͺ

This is great! I wonder how easy it would be to get unit tests setup to do this kind of thing:

button = Components::Button.new(text: "Click me")
result = button.render_in(view_context)
expect(result).to include("Click me")

Using RSpec, I could imagine creating "component" type tests where the view_context is available in them. I don't actually know how to make it available but i'd love to know how.

I guess you could write a view spec and do this:

render Button.new(to: "some-path")
expect(rendered).to include("href=\"some-path\"")

Yep, you would want to treat them as a view specs because that's what they are. view_context is an instance of ActionView::Base. πŸ‘

With gem ViewComponent, how to make component render partial in it's self directory as action view?
