No problem, Chris has release a great series on the site for beginning rails. It’s even on YouTube.

Is anyone else getting the following error when trying to search for a 2nd time?

TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'EasyAutocomplete.getHandle(b).getSelectedItemData')

Would be worth posting a link to showcase your work

Chris has just posted the Beginner course which should be of use - https://gorails.com/start

Post a link to the app, and I am sure other users would be happy to provide feedback.

If you're talking about the GoRails newsletters, there is always a link at the bottom of the email. You can unsubscribe via that.

I think you may want to take a look at your internet connection, this is a common reason for lagging websites.

If other people are not reporting the same issue, then I would start with looking locally.

Thanks for the reply mate, so basically i want to store

{
  "energy_provider": {
      "name": "data",
      "renewal": "data"
  },
  "insurance_provider": {
      "name": "data",
      "renewal": "data"
  }
}

Do you think it would be best to have JSONB fields in the table to store these then? Or do you know of a more efficient way you could suggest please?

I found this article, which seems to be interesting. And maybe worth a look at.

I learnt all about graphQL over at How to GraphQL it's a good resource, and you can select different paths not just Ruby.

Agreed, this new design is pretty slick Chris! I am also loving tailwind and the whole utility first CSS library.

Once you have made you project, you should run rails db:create to create your database.

It would then do worth looking at The Rail Tutorial which gives a great overview of the basics about Rails. Chapter 2 will give you a good idea on how to deal with migrations, and general DB stuff.

As per this Episode 191 is there any way I can add nested settings? for example:

{
"wants_reminders": true,
"wants_deals_offers": true,
"subscribed_to_newsletter": true,
"something_here": {
    "option1": "data",
    "option2": "data"
}

Let me know how you get on. Hope it goes well.

Of course, it seems to be working well. Saves a load of time. I sure it could be refactored to be quicker too. This was screated from a worker I am using to push updates to shopify - thus the begin, rescue, ensure

class FixProductBodyWorker
  include Sidekiq::Worker
  sidekiq_options retry: false

  def perform()
    batch_index = 1

    Product.where(x: "y")
        .find_in_batches(:batch_size => 100) do | products |

       retries = 3
       begin
         products.each do |product|
          if !product.product_body.nil?

            body_init = product.product_body

            # I added a load of editing stuff here to remove 
                        # unwanted text, or editing parts of the content.

                        # The clear out any whitespace - I do this as a lot 
                        #of the data was scraped from third-party supplier sites.
            body_edit = product.product_body.strip

            product.update(description: body_edit)
          end
         end
       rescue StandardError=>e
         puts "\tError: #{e}"
         if retries > 0
           puts "\tTrying #{retries} more times"
           retries -= 1
           sleep 20
           retry
         else
           puts "\t\tIssues processing batch #{batch_index}, so moving on"
           batch_index += 1
         end
       else
         puts "\tProceesed batch #{batch_index}."
         batch_index += 1
       ensure
         sleep 10
       end
    end
  end
end

Quick update, made a quick worker to take my existing content, and save it to the actiontext table :D Seems to be working a treat!

Now to sit back and wait :D

mmm, wonder if i can create a worker to do it for me basically save from :product_body to :body. I have like 32,000 records to update.

Great video though, i had it up an running in seconds! Then I sat there and went... "Oh, bugger!" hahaha

I followed the great video Chris did on action text, however, I have an existing data structure and want to move it over to use actiontext for editing the body content.

How can i display the old content in the trix editor, if its not been moved over? Is there an easy way?

So how would you set the account_id in the URL when a user logs in? surely its not as simple as just setting Current.account = user.account_id ?

Currently the setup is showing how to use the bash setup, its mainly the oh-my-zsh stuff i'd like to see as im new to that.

I have set it up as much as i can so far haha :)

I have noticed that macOS Catalina moves to ZSH as the default shell, would be cool so get an update on the install rail guide to show this off :)
