cssbundling-rails provides first-class Rails integration with modern CSS toolchains like Tailwind, Bootstrap, Bulma, and PostCSS using a straightforward Node-based workflow.
It gives you Rails tasks to build and watch styles, keeps configuration minimal, and plays well with import maps or esbuild.
Setup is quick: add the gem, run `rails css:install:`, and commit the generated configuration and scripts.
With its official support, flexibility across frameworks, and predictable builds it provides a first-class way of onboarding, however, the Node dependency causes overhead if you prefer a no-node stack.
Alternatives include tailwindcss-rails for a Node-free Tailwind integration or sassc-rails for pure Sass pipelines.
