Lots to think about! For me, the most important thing is to understand the database models and what each one's purpose is. Then it's helpful to know the different flows users will go through to better understand the controllers and views. If you can get a good understanding of that, you're going to be able to piece together your understanding of the app a lot quicker than if you have to figure it out on your own.

Haha! I know right? So happy with how fast my deploys are now.

AWS should provide a webhook that you'll need to listen to once the file is finished transcoding. You can use that to trigger a broadcast of the final video with Turbo.

Transcoding is a messy art though, so I would recommend trying out something like Mux, Bunny Stream or Cloudflare Stream if you can. They usually do on-the-fly transcoding so you can instantly embed the video which is really nice. I believe you can do the same with AWS too, but it's the usual digging through config and docs to figure out how to do it.

Your node version is too old (see the webpack-dev-server line)

Expected version ">= 12.13.0". Got "10.16.3"

Rails 5.2+ switched to using Credentials instead of secrets.yml. I would recommend using that going forward.

That said, if you still want to use .env files, You can use a gem like Figaro to load the .env in development.

Cookies are shared between them all, so yes it would.

I'm not sure about options for Heroku, but when you use a VPS (like DigitalOcean) you get a static IP for your server (as long as you don't destroy the server).

You can also get a Floating IP that allows you to swap out the server behind that IP seamlessly so the IP does not change. That's what I use for my apps that I deploy with Hatchbox.io

Thanks for joining me Kasper!

You could write a filter to try to skip those, but yeah that's generally something you have to always deal with having this feature.

I noticed the sassc-rails gem will enable itself in production if there is no css_compressor set. You might set css_compressor = nil and see if that fixes it.

Like the error says, your postgres server is not running. You need to start your postgres server and then it can connect.

The other episodes in the series are Pro episodes. That's why they're only previews on YouTube.

Hey Tommy!

You would probably need to do this with wildcard URLs and then parse them.

# At the very bottom of your routes file so it doesn't override other GET routes
get "*place" => "places#show"

This should assign params: { place: "walkable-places-in-europe"}

And you could parse that string with Regex or similar to get your filter and location out of it in the controller.

I almost always nest them in folders. It's very helpful when your app grows. Often times you might have 2 or 3 controllers with the same name that do different things and the nesting in folders helps separate them out.

For example,

websites/pages_controller might be for website editor
subdomains/pages_controller might be for people viewing the website
admin/pages_controller might be for the business owner (you) to do customer support

Hey Tom,

You're on the right path. The controller would be "nested" or similar. Basically, you'd lookup the Website before you lookup the Page (so you can make sure you only display the website's pages and no others).

You can do that with nested routes like /websites/1/pages/2. Here, your controller would look up the website with Website.find(params[:website_id]) from the URL.

Also, you could use domains / subdomains to lookup the website. Then you wouldn't need nested routes and you could have subdomain.example.com/pages/2. In this case, your controller would do Website.find_by(subdomain: request.subdomain)

Not really. They tried that with webpacker and it didn't work because things change so often and every app needs flexibility to adjust for their use case.

The way JSbundling is setup, you can use any tools you want. The only requirement is they dump to the asset pipeline. That's super flexible and you can make any changes you need. Great balance I'd say.

I had the exact same thoughts!

I don't believe you'll be able to use .js.erb responses in Turbo going forward. They're pretty much replaced by TurboStreams. 👍

No package nodejs available

Sounds like your nodejs repository hasn't been loaded / updated so it can find the nodejs package.

1. You should install node LTS instead of 12.x, that way you'll always be on the stable version.
2. The error says you're trying to install Yarn without nodejs. You should install nodejs either before or at the same time as you install yarn.

Something like this is more what you want I imagine:

01_install_yarn:
command: "sudo wget https://dl.yarnpkg.com/rpm/yarn.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/yarn.repo && curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo bash -"
02_install_nodejs:
command: "yum -y install nodejs yarn"
