An unbelievable amount of features are packed into Rails making it one of the most powerful web frameworks you can use. @GorailsTV creator Chris Oliver takes a look at some little known, underused, and new things in Rails 7.
A few of the topics covered:
- ActiveRecord features like “excluding”, strict_loading, virtual columns, with_options, attr_readonly, etc
- ActiveStorage named variants
- ActionText embedding any database record
- Custom Turbo Stream Actions with Hotwire
- Turbo Native authentication with your Rails backend
- ActiveSupport features like truncate_words
- Rails 7.1’s new features: authentication, normalizes, logging background enqueue callers, and more.

He kind of looks familiar. Wasn't he on the Netflix documentary America's Hottest Rails Developers? Great presentation, Chris. Glad to see the community coming together for the 2nd coming of Rails. :)

26:00: I paused the video, switched to my text editor, replaced a couple lines I just wrote 1H AGO by `all_year`, `all_month` and `all_day`. Looks much nicer, thanks. Went back and clicked play for more goodies :)

Nice! Not a rails dev, but still cool to see what's going on on the rails framework. One thing that's kinda strange, is how the framework seemed to be including rich text editor stuff out of the box. Not sure if I caught that right, but I would think this would seem to be more appropriate as a first-party official library or something but not included framework in every framework install.

@JustBCWi 7 ай бұрын

ActiveText, the RTF you mention, is not included with every framework install. In the Magic of Rails video, Eileen discusses the modularity of Rails capabilities. There's a core set of capabilities that make up Rails, but a lot of optional capabilities. Some of those can be incorporated into non-Rails Ruby applications See kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNylg8ykqbeVmH0.htmlsi=CbbXzgpd6BKHm0yb&t=542 for that video

The biggest issue that Rails helpers has is the mountain of undocumented stuff. The Rust and Go community are great at documenting their stuff. Can we be like that as well?

Indeed I should!!! By the way. Amazing talk if not, the best one. Super useful!! I have worked with Rails for over a decade and many of these helper methods are new to me!
