Hey Alessandro,
You can absolutely do just a single if without an else clause in it. You have two forms that you can write such conditionals. The first is the traditional style, for example:

if true
  puts "Hello, world!"
end

The second being the modifier form, which allows you to write such conditionals on a single line like so:

puts "Hello, world!" if true

Hope that helps!

This a good one that I run every so often to check for any old databases laying around that I can get rid of, so good call on mentioning it!

It's a good one for sure! ;)

Ok, you should be able to access the videos now. Sorry about that!

Whoops! Looking into this now, should be fixed soon, sorry about that.

Hey Marissa,

Yep exactly right! The hash itself would look something like this:

PASSWORD_VAULT = {
  "service one" => {
    "username" => "Collin",
    "password" => "supersecret"
  },
  "service two" => {
    "username" => "other_collin",
    "password" => "supersupersecret"
  }
}

The scopes work at the class level, so those will get you a collection of BlogPost records that are all either drafts, published, or scheduled.

The helpers are instance methods, designed to be used with a single blog post instance/record.

The helpers/instance methods are nice because it will not always be the case that you want a collection of draft posts, for example, you may be on the show page for a particular blog post and you could then use the helpers/instance methods to check the published_at status of that particular blog post instance.
Hope that helps!

Definitely! Idk if I mentioned it in the video or not but you can go up the list with shift tab. 😎

Thanks a bunch, Muhammad! I'm hoping to get the module video out in the very near future.

Hey Yago, while this is true, HashWithIndifferentAccess is only available via ActiveSupport. This section of the learning path is focused purely on Ruby.

Well, looked into it further. Def a bug. Rails doesn't like when you try to send that stuff through with the keys for the tasks as dom_id's which is a bummer. I got a fix you can see here https://github.com/gorails-screencasts/dynamic-nested-forms-with-turbo-get/commit/adfe726005c89f1c71b81f1ddf63c797bddad80a
I'm gonna look into this more when a have some free time to see what else can be done here bc I feel like there's a better option. Sorry about that but thanks for bringing it up, Willard!

Hmmm, I not sure but let me look into that for you and report back!

Awesome! Glad to hear that Giedrius!

Another wonderful comment, Ann! :) Thanks for the kind words, glad you appreciate the vibes and video as well!

Hey there, I appreciate the comment. I do address this in the video though in addition to being able to use debugger instead of / in addition to binding.break.

Hey Nick, that was a scheduling mistake on our end. That video won't be out until August. Sorry for the confusion!

Hey Terry! Thanks so much for the kind words and I’m super glad to hear that you enjoyed it and got some new tricks out of it!

Actually, I take it all back. What we have in the video is what we wanted. Adding started? caused the code to not function properly. The running? method that is not shown in the video is where the check for your suggestion lives. So we have since added the running? method back and reverted active? to just be end_time.future?

Yep! There was actually another method below the ones shown in the video that did just that so we didn't do that here (for the active? method). But we have since removed the other method in the codebase and adjusted active? to cover this. Thanks for the comment and sorry for any confusion!

Agreed!
