Hey Tim!

This actually might change very soon whenever the "New Magic" DHH keeps talking about gets released.

There are a few good options currently that I like using:

1. Write a Stimulus JS controller that makes that AJAX request and replaces the partial in the DOM. Rails just needs to render the partial and return that without the layout.

2. For realtime, you can use CableReady to broadcast the partial from the backend to the frontend with ActionCable. The partial would just need an ID so that it can be searched for and replaced.

Hey Amanda!

That is a fun challenge to solve. I wouldn't add that many columns to the table as that would get real tricky to manage. I like the idea of doing a new table, that could work well.

The two options I would consider:

1. Use a json column and the store_accessor functionality in Rails to store these values in a json field.
2. Separate table with name and value:integer

Both of these options would let you freely add/remove values as needed. And you can leave the values as nil by default so they don't take up any space if they're not being used.

There aren't too many pros/cons to these. The separate table would just require a join but you can query against json columns in postgres and mysql too so they're similarly equal. I guess if you needed to add any Ruby logic to a value, the separate model would be helpful in that case.

Hey Houssein,

You should contact support in Hatchbox, not on the GoRails forums. 👍

I do use @apply in a few places like buttons, but that's about it. We talked to Adam Wathan on Remote Ruby Episode #97 about this recently and he advised on not using @apply which was interesting. Definitely give that a listen.

For the most part, I've copied a lot of components from TailwindUI and tweaked them without extracting out my own classes. He recommends using partials or something like ViewComponent instead of @apply.

@Mylan, you can use TailwindCSS 2.0 with Wepbacker! You just need to use the master branch for the gem and node module for the time being. I fixed a bug in Webpacker to make it work the day that TailwindCSS 2.0 came out so I could update Jumpstart Pro for it. 👍

Kieran and I worked on it that night and wrote up our steps: https://www.kieranklaassen.com/upgrade-rails-to-tailwind-css-2/

It'll renew at the same price. 👍

I've switched to using https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh for SSL on Ubuntu 20.04 and it works great.

Definitely recommend it. It's what we use in Hatchbox.io for SSL.

If you set the debug: true option it will print out the request and response:

Dan, you're correct. If you trigger a reflex, it's just like refreshing the page. That's why I typically wouldn't use Reflex for situations like that where you need to be more efficient. That said, fragment caching can help considerably there. You just have to be careful with what you're doing.

That said, I think Stimulus Reflex killer for just getting something working quick and dirty as a prototype.

Hahaha! That is awesome. I loved Digg. I used to watch Diggnation sooo much.

You can copy their mailer and views from the gem into your app and then make any tweaks you need. 👍

JP, I'm storing it as an integer, total number of seconds. Then I convert it to whatever display format I want and that gives me the flexibility to change it and/or calculate the total duration of a series too.

You can just assign it to the window variable so it's accessible anywhere I believe.

window.$ = window.jQuery = require("jquery")

Strange! I wonder what's going on.

Another thing you can try is applying Jumpstart to an existing Rails app.

rails new -d postgresql jumppay
cd jumppay
rails app:template LOCATION= https://raw.githubusercontent.com/excid3/jumpstart/master/template.rb

Must be an issue with Spring (it always is shakes fist).

When I run it, it moves right onto the next step:

Webpacker successfully installed 🎉 🍰
You can change application name inside: ./config/application.rb
         run  spring stop from "."
Spring is not running
    generate  devise:install
       rails  generate devise:install
Running via Spring preloader in process 59362
      create  config/initializers/devise.rb
      create  config/locales/devise.en.yml
================================================

Can you try it with DISABLE_SPRING=1 at the beginning? Does that get any further?

Yeah! I just used it yesterday and didn't have any issues, so I'm curious to see what's going on with your end. I definitely want to keep it up-to-date if anything stopped working!

Can you paste the logs in a gist.github.com or something so I can see them all?

I haven't used many of the dry-rb gems, but I'll have to check them out sometime. I've been meaning to for years. 😅

What do the logs say?

You can add a position:integer to your AuthorArticle model to keep track of the order.

The acts_as_list gem can help you order them, but that wouldn't allow for duplicates where you might have several "lead authors". You can probably do without it.

The modal would be for an AuthorArticle object and would have two fields for author and position.

Awesome. You can use the RAILS_LOG_TO_STDOUT env var to have Rails not write to the normal log file. You may also need to tweak the ActiveRecord logger if you need to turn it off.
