Purpose

To document performance of ViewComponent, Rails Partials, Hanami View, Trailblazer Cells, Papercraft and Phlex Components.

• ViewComponent: viewcomponent.org
• Rails Partials: guides.rubyonrails.org/layouts_and_rendering.html#using-partials
• Hanami View: guides.hanamirb.org/views/overview
• Trailblazer Cells: trailblazer.to/2.1/docs/cells
• Papercraft: github.com/digital-fabric/papercraft
• Phlex Components: phlex.fun

Benchmarks

Benchmarks arent representative of real life and just render nested components / partials. Take all numbers with a grain of salt.

Contributing

Feel free to submit a PR for optimization of views and other use-cases / view layers.

Setup

git clone https://github.com/paramagicdev/view-layer-benchmarks.git
cd view-layer-benchmarks
bundle install
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake benchmark

Benchmarks are for Ruby 3.4.1 and Rails v8.0.
