The process was fairly straightforward, but I ran into some issues along the way which I wanted to document. First off, there’s a live demo here: https://lexical-actiontext-demo.onrender.com/ The demo uses bog-standard Rails with esbuild and simply swaps out the de-facto Trix editor for a Stimulus controller that sets up Lexical. There’s no toolbar, so you’ll need to use keyboard shortcuts (CMD+B, CMD+I etc) to get the formatting to work.
