When configuring SMTP settings in an after_initialize block, the settings aren't picked up by ActionMailer. This leads to runtime errors, since ActionMailer tries the default settings.

It really only takes one head scratching issue to suck up all the time it saves you over a year, and in my experience these head scratchers happen much more often than once a year. So in that sense it's not worth it, and the first time I run into an issue with it, I disable it completely.

Overriding the ActiveStorage controllers to add authentication or customize behavior is a bit tedious because it requires either: using custom routes, which means losing the nice url helpers provided by active storage copy pasting the routes in the application routes.rb, which is not very DRY.

it should be normal for production apps to add authentication and authorization to their ActiveStorage controllers. Unfortunately, there are 2 possible ways to achieve it currently: Not drawing ActiveStorage routes and do everything by yourself Override/monkey patch ActiveStorage controllers None of them is ideal because in the end you can't benefit from Rails upgrades (bug fixes, etc) so the intention of this PR is to let people define a parent controller (inspired by Devise, maybe @carlosantoniodasilva can tell us his experience on this feature) so that people can add authentication and authorization in a single place and still benefit from the default controllers.

The combined stuff is available to components using the page store as $page.stuff, providing a mechanism for pages to pass data 'upward' to layouts.

In Rails, this is known as nested layouts, and it is a bit awkward to use. The standard Rails practice for nested layouts is complicated and involves these considerations:

As of Rails 7.0+, Active Record has an option for handling associations that would perform a join across multiple databases.

You can also use silence_redefinition_of_method if you need to define the replacement method yourself (because you're using delegate, for example).

composed_of attr, :class_name => 'AddressableRecord::Address', :converter => :convert, :allow_nil => true,

belongs_to :city

belongs_to :zipcode

acts_as_tokened Quickly adds rails 5 has_secure_token to your model, along with some Post.find() enhancements to work with tokens instead of IDs.

# All queries and objects will be built with this scope resource_scope -> { current_user.posts } # Similar to above, with block syntax resource_scope do Post.active.where(user: current_user) end

Also, we will introduce the top 3 frameworks for building a SaaS product with their pros and cons. Read on to see the best examples of SaaS applications.

What Makes Ruby on Rails Perfect for Marketplace Development?AlinaE-Commerce & SaaS StrategistMarketplaceRuby/RailsHomeBlogEntrepreneurshipWhat Makes Ruby on Rails Perfect for Marketplace Development?PublishedJul 13, 2020UpdatedJul 13, 202012 min readThe last several years have been marked with the rise of different marketplaces. Airbnb, AliExpress, Etsy, Booking.com are on everyone’s lips. That's not surprising that the idea of launching a second Amazon or eBay seems so appealing. To win the e-commerce race, entrepreneurs focus on providing excellent customer experience and build fast-loading and scalable websites. Besides, business owners take various security measures to protect their customers’ sensitive information. This way, they can gain clients’ trust and boost sales. When building a custom marketplace, what technology stack is best to achieve all these goals? Our answer is simple: Ruby on Rails. In this article, we will fill you in on the Ruby on Rails marketplace development. At Codica, we are passionate fans of this framework and have built numerous e-commerce platforms with its help. Based on our experience, we will discuss the key reasons to choose RoR for building a successful marketplace.

1) Order the one for your particular vehicle if you can otherwise the curvature of the side rails may not be correct which will dent the metal once secured.2) Look/feel under the headliner if you can prior to drilling into the roof, you may hit a beam which will be troublesome running a screw through multiple pieces of metal. You can also cut the side rails if necessary.3) Use non-corrosive silicone (does not smell like vinegar which will eventually eat away at the paint and rust) to seal up the holes that you drill into the roof. End caps doesn't appear to make a tight seal.4) Screws are stainless which are typically soft. Be careful not to overnighten! I actually used a rivnut/blind nut tool instead of just screws (About 25 bucks here on Amazon).

Rails' inability to automatically route my link_to and form_for in STI subclasses to the superclass is a constant source of frustration to me. +1 for fixing this bug.

I don't like that I can't really use head? to know it's a HEAD request, but I (think I) understand the reasoning

As you can see Rails already adds error messages from associated models and doing it wrongly: Merging together errors from different models under same has_many association. :"employments.company"=>["can't be blank"] And this is wrong.

So ActionCable needs Redis! Is this the first time Rails is aligning with a vendor product? Why not abstract it like AR/AJ?

While rails does have nice CSRF protection, in my instance it limited me.

GitLab is transitioning from controller specs to request specs.

# unauthenticated do # as :user do # root to: 'devise/registrations#new' # end # end

# authenticated :user, lambda {|u| u.role == "admin"} do # root to: "admin/dashboard#show", as: :user_root # end

There is no request.env in functional tests because the functional tests are supposed to remain at the controller level.

This is a Rails change of behaviour and Rails is not going back.

class LoggedInConstraint def self.matches?(request) request.env['warden'].authenticate? end end

class AuthConstraint def initialize(&block) @block = block || ->(_) { true } end def matches?(req) user = current_user(req) user.present? && @block.call(user) end def current_user(req) User.find_by_id(session[:user_id]) end end This is a flexible approach to defining route access based on any desired variable (roles, auth, etc...)

scope module: 'authenticated', constraints: AuthConstraint.new { |user| user.present? } do # Management dashboard root 'dashboards#index' end root 'home#index'

authenticated :user do root 'calendars#index', as: :authenticated_root end unauthenticated :user do root 'pages#home', as: :unauthenticated_root end

You can also specify constraints as a lambda:

Meh... as I said earlier, I think using Webpack is the recommended way now. Another issue is there is no way to generate source maps in production.

But last I have seen comments from DHH, he considered webpack(er) recommended for JS, but Sprockets still the preferred solution for (S)CSS.

I agree about lack of maintenance. It's probably because people use more and more Webpack.

we want source maps in production (like DHH)

After waiting years for sprockets to support this we were very happy to see that sprockets 4 officially added support (thanks ), but then when trying to upgrade we noticed there's actually no way to use it in production... (without brittle hacks mentioned above).

Rails still encourages you to dump all validation errors at the top of a form, which is lulzy in this age of touchy UX

Run the complete unit with a certain input set, and test the side-effects. This differs to the Rails Way™ testing style, where smaller units of code, such as a specific validation or a callback, are tested in complete isolation. While that might look tempting and clean, it will create a test environment that is not identical to what happens in production.

Responders don't use valid? to check for errors in models to figure out if the request was successful or not, and relies on your controllers to call save or create to trigger the validations.

Instead of dealing with a mix of before_filters, Rack-middlewares, controller code and callbacks, an endpoint is just another activity and allows to be customized with the well-established Trailblazer mechanics.

The legendary cfp-app will become a Rails-to-TRB refactoring tutorial.

To make it short: we returned to the Rails Way™, lowering our heads in shame, and adhere to the Rails file and class naming structure for operations.

While Trailblazer offers you abstraction layers for all aspects of Ruby On Rails, it does not missionize you. Wherever you want, you may fall back to the "Rails Way" with fat models, monolithic controllers, global helpers, etc. This is not a bad thing, but allows you to step-wise introduce Trailblazer's encapsulation in your app without having to rewrite it.

By default, hashes remove any keys that aren't given as nested filters. To allow all hash keys, set strip: false. In general we don't recommend doing this, but it's sometimes necessary.

ActiveInteraction type checks your inputs. Often you'll want more than that. For instance, you may want an input to be a string with at least one non-whitespace character. Instead of writing your own validation for that, you can use validations from ActiveModel. These validations aren't provided by ActiveInteraction. They're from ActiveModel. You can also use any custom validations you wrote yourself in your interactions.

Since we're using an interaction, we don't need strong parameters. The interaction will ignore any inputs that weren't defined by filters. So you can forget about params.require and params.permit because interactions handle that for you.

Note that it's perfectly fine to add errors during execution. Not all errors have to come from type checking or validation.

with ActiveForm-Rails, validations is the responsability of the form and not of the models. There is no need to synchronize errors from the form to the models and vice versa.

I agre with your concern. I realy prefer to do this : form.assign_attributes(hash) if form.valid? my_service.update(form) #render something else #render somthing else end It looks more like a normal controller.

My only concern with this approach is that if someone calls #valid? on the form object afterwards, it would under the hood currently delete the existing errors on the form object and revalidate. The could have unexpected side effects where the errors added by the models passed in or the service called will be lost.

My concern with this approach is still that it's somewhat brittle with the current implementation of valid? because whilst valid? appears to be a predicate and should have no side effects, this is not the case and could remove the errors applied by one of the steps above.

By explicitly defining the form layout using ::property there is no more need for protecting from unwanted input. strong_parameter or attr_accessible become obsolete. Reform will simply ignore undefined incoming parameters.

Some developers found work arounds by using virtual attributes to # skip validators

Any attribute in the list will be allowed, and any defined as attr_{accessor,reader,writer} will not be populated when passed in as params. This means we no longer need to use strong_params in the controllers because the form has a clear definition of what it expects and protects us by design.

@conference_form.submit(conference_params)

    @conference_form = ConferenceForm.new(conference)
    @conference_form.submit(conference_params)

    if @conference_form.save

If you include ActiveModel::Validations you can write the same validators as you would with ActiveRecord. However, in this case, our form is just a collection of Contact objects, which are ActiveRecord and have their own validations. When I save the ContactListForm, it attempts to save all the contacts. In doing so, each contact has its error_messages available.

Of course our object doesn't have any contacts yet, so our controller will need to make sure that the form has at least one fields_for block to render by giving it one on initialization

config.action_mailer.register_preview_interceptor :css_inline_styler

Previewing You can create a controller that gets the email and then renders the body from it.

In short, I think the idea of public methods being actions works just fine as an api.

You can use the match method with the :via option to match multiple verbs at once:

I was confused as to why there is a dual system running on, there might be reasons for that but let's fix this situation by only using Webpacker to generate our assets.

Kiosk provides APIs for integrating WordPress content into a Rails

<html lang="<%= I18n.locale %>">

def svelte_compontent(name, props) content_tag(:div, nil, id: "svelte-#{name.dasherize}-root", 'data-props': props.to_json) end

Ruby is the programming language used in Translation Proxy. For Sarah, Object Oriented Design “done the Ruby way” is so enjoyable and is the part of her work that she likes most.

RAILS_ENV determines which Webpacker YAML settings are used and NODE_ENV determines which webpack configuration is used.

This finally brings us to the use case for NODE_ENV=test: JavaScript unit testing By this I mean executing tests, written in JavaScript, against your application JavaScript code within a Node.js process.

You can also just throw<% yield :javascript_packs %>somewhere in your layout, and use<%= content_for :javascript_packs do %><%= javascript_pack_tag 'visitor' %><% end %>
