OAuth definitely gets tricky pretty fast, especially when some services like Twitter don't give you an email, so you can't create User records without asking and so on.

When you try it in the console, try printing out user.errors when the save fails so you can see what the errors were. It could be one of your validations failed and that will let you know what went wrong.

ABSOLUTELY! :D

Going to cover short introductions to React, Angular, and Vue when I get back from Thanksgiving.

Try this: https://chrome.google.com/w...

For both recurring events and various types, you just have to make them into one array and pass them in. So rather than calling them @dances, you might use @events and create it like so:

@events = Dance.all + Meeting.all

I just recorded a basic episode on recurring events, but you'd just generate them in memory and add them into this @events array. The calendar doesn't need to know anything about recurring events, just needs the individual events to display.

Hopefully that default changes in Windows as that's unexpected behavior from anyone who is used to opening bash with a login shell automatically on any Linux install.

Thanks for sharing all this Matt! Will be useful for anyone reading this as I think it was originally written for Mongoid 4.

It's great to hear that they finally got the ActiveRecord + Mongoid stuff working nicely. I remember it wasn't super doable last time I used it because of some incompatibility.

Yeah, thanks! I know that the react_on_rails gem actually uses webpack for compilation but uses the asset pipeline for the embedding into Rails which is nice. I'll have to dive into these articles soon and start planning a webpack episode.

Just like we did in this episode, you create direct messages between two users by using them in the pubsub channel name. Nothing different there.

For the popup UI, add data attributes to the link so when it's clicked you can find the User ID of the person you want to direct message. Then you have both the current user, and the recipient ID which you can use to start the pubsub channel between the two people.

Absolutely. You can create any UI you want for this. My example is more like Slack, but you can do the same thing and use the button to initialize displaying a popup chat box instead.

Thanks for sharing Anthony! I'm sure people will find that useful. :)

Yeah, I'm gonna talk about Webpack in the future when we get into the frontend framework stuff. It's one of those things that I'm disappointed Rails hasn't improved the asset pipeline enough speed wise, because it doesn't feel like the most useful use of your time to be fiddling with WebPack configurations.

I still very much appreciate the convention over configuration approach Rails takes, just need to get some speed boosts in there and things would be great.

Hey Alex,

That error is pointing out that it called .name on a class that was nil. The only line in your code that does this is category.name which means that you have a Recipient record without a category on it.

You probably want to conditionally pass in the category name if you want category to be optional.

            # using a ternary if statement
      category_name: category.present? ? category.name : nil

            # or, often not recommended to use try(), but a bit cleaner way of doing the above.
      #category_name: category.try(:name)

Oh nope, screenshot should be .jpg if it wasn't.

Ah, I gotcha. So in your films/comments_controller.rb you could say:

def index
  @comments = @film.comments.where(status: 'published')
end

And then you would want to build the index.html.erb to display all those comments. Is that what you're looking for?

Hey Melanie! :)

If you wanted a route to get all published comments (not ones scoped to a commentable type) you could add a resources :comments that was not nested in your routes and use that.

  resources :comments

  resources :actors do
    resources :comments, module: :actors
  end
  resources :films do
    resource :comments, module: :films
  end

And then you could make a comments_controller.rb that worked for all comments for any object. Is that what you're looking for?

Yeah, Heroku's stuff is easy because you can say heroku config:set AWS_SECRET_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxx and it will set the ENV variable for you, and voila! You've got ENV variables set.

Much easier than doing that on your own server since nginx doesn't let you set ENV variables in your server config. When you've got your own server, it's easier to write the secrets.yml file on the server only in the shared directory between deploys and then symlink it during deploy instead rather than using ENV variables.

Yeah, you'll want to sanitize it. I can't cover everything in the series, so that's one you'll have to add in. Good catch, it'll be useful for anyone else following this to be aware of that.

More stuff coming soon! :D

The simple solution for most of Bootstrap is just to use the turbolinks:load event for re-initializing your JS. For example, to enable tooltips and popovers for all pages, you can do:

$(document).on 'turbolinks:load', ->
  $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip()
  $('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover()

Some of the other things like bootstrap modals don't need this because the JS is written in a way that makes it automatically compatible from what I've seen. Bootstrap 3 doesn't have too many compatibility issues with Turbolinks 5 these days.

Yo Szilard! It's been a while since I've setup Cloudfront especially with fonts.

Did you make any progress on this?
