An updated version of our Group Chat series using Webpacker, ActionCable, Stimulus.js, and modern Javascript to build a very clean version of realtime group chat in Rails
Scroll events in Javascript can happen quickly. We want to make sure we don't request the same page multiple times which we can solve easily by introducing a little throttling.
Adding Infinite Scroll to your Rails app is easy with Stimulus.js, Turbolinks, and Pagy
Drag and drop sortable lists in Rails aren't too hard using Sortablejs and Stimulus to make wire them up to our backend with acts_as_list
Stimulus Reflex is one of the coolest new libraries out there. It can update the browser in realtime and allow you to build reactive applications without any Javascript. It's awesome.
Webpacker provides some nice tools for loading Javascript in several different ways. We're looking at require.context to see how to load an entire directory's set of files easily.
Learn how to implement Google Maps and the Google Places Autocomplete API in Rails compatible with Turbolinks using StimulusJS
Learn how to implement Uppy as a frontend for uploading files via drag and drop, paste, URL, Google Drive, Dropbox, webcam and more to Active Storage in Rails
Rails's webpacker gem makes it super easy to load both Bootstrap's CSS and JS into your Rails app using webpack
CSS frameworks like Tailwind, Bootstrap, Foundation, etc all come with many CSS classes you probably aren't using. This creates huge CSS files unless we use a tool like PurgeCSS to look through our code and remove the unused classes.
With TailwindCSS 1.0 just around the corner and some changes in Rails 6 to Webpacker, we take a look at how to install and setup the latest version of TailwindCSS with Rails 6.0
Rails 6 defaults to using Webpacker for Javascript instead of the asset pipeline. We'll learn how everything is structured and laid out and see how to add Flatpickr to Rails 6 including both the Javascript and CSS for it.
Mentioning Users with an @mention is a super common feature. Trix and ActionText are now part of Rails 6 which means we can very easily add support for tagging users with @mentions and other custom attachments in your applications.
Don't like Cocoon or it's jQuery dependency? We can use Stimulus JS and build dynamic nested forms in Rails with accepts_nested_attributes_for from scratch pretty easily!
Creating draft records in your database can be tricky. We'll be using the Draftsman gem to help us create draft versions of our records with our autosave Javascript
Autosaving draft records allows you to make sure users don't lose their work and can easily write draft content without publishing right away. We'll be using Stimulus to build an autosave controller for our form and Draftsman to power the backend.
We can use webpacker to create scoped styles for our Javascript widget and build an embed code that links to the latest version of our webpacker JS and CSS for our embeddable widget.
We don't want anyone to be able to embed your Javascript widget on any domain, so we'll setup our app to check the domain and only allow the widget on specific sites
Cross-origin Resource Sharing (CORS) allows your website to talk to other websites.
