> Set up Tabler in Rails and build a first working page.
Install Tabler in Rails - load the CSS and JS with the standard bundling gems and render a minimal ERB layout with a Tabler card.
Source: https://docs.tabler.io/ui/getting-started/frameworks/rails
---
Rails renders server-side HTML through ERB templates, so Tabler classes work directly in your views, and the compiled CSS and JS integrate with the standard Rails bundling gems (`cssbundling-rails` and `jsbundling-rails`).
You will install `@tabler/core`, import its assets in your application bundles, and render a first view with a Tabler card.
## Setup
### Install Tabler package
Install `@tabler/core` with your preferred package manager:
```shell
npm install @tabler/core
yarn add @tabler/core
pnpm install @tabler/core
bun install @tabler/core
```
You can also use CDN files when you need a quick setup:
```html
```
### Import styles
For Rails with `cssbundling-rails`, import Tabler CSS in `app/assets/stylesheets/application.scss`:
```scss
@import '@tabler/core/dist/css/tabler.min.css';
```
For full theme customization, import SCSS sources instead:
```scss
@use '@tabler/core/scss/tabler';
```
### Import and initialize JavaScript
Tabler JavaScript is required for interactive components such as dropdowns, modals, and tooltips.
If you use `jsbundling-rails`, import Tabler JS in `app/javascript/application.js`:
```js
import '@tabler/core/dist/js/tabler.min.js'
```
Rails-specific note: if you use `importmap-rails` without npm bundling, prefer CDN for Tabler JS or add compiled files to your asset pipeline and include them from your layout.
### Minimal working example
Create a simple layout in `app/views/layouts/application.html.erb`:
```erb
<%= csrf_meta_tags %>
<%= csp_meta_tag %>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag "application", "data-turbo-track": "reload" %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "application", "data-turbo-track": "reload", defer: true %>
<%= yield %>
```
Then add a simple page in `app/views/home/index.html.erb`:
```html
Rails + Tabler
Your Tabler setup is working.
```
Run the app:
```shell
bin/rails server
```
Open the local Rails URL and confirm the card is styled with Tabler.
