Another replacement for factories and fixtures that focuses on being DRY and making developers type as little as possible.

Template inliner avoids the problem when to render a large list of objects,

Fuck acronyms, really

An ActionMailer delivery method to save mails as files in a directory.

So you downloaded inaction_mailer, and you had a folder full of e-mails generated while writing your app?

Easily show multiple, overlapping events across calendar days and rows.

A simple implementation of an Identity Mapper for Active Record.

Steak is like Cucumber but in plain Ruby.

Rack middleware for rate-limiting incoming HTTP requests.

File uploads survive validation errors, letting forms round-trip without losing the selected file and reducing re-upload friction.

Here is a set of additive color model conversion algorithms that I found published on Wikipedia and have implemented in JavaScript.

We recently decided our CI server needed an overhaul. I really enjoyed Integrity as a build server, but after trying out Hudson it’s hard to say I want to go back. Hudson has several huge advantages.

What do we expect from the custom finder? We expect that it should find assets A, B, C and should not find assets D, E, F. And sometimes the order is important: it should find A, B C with exact order.

All ActiveRecord associations except for has_many :through support callbacks for pre- and post-insertion/deletion via the following, self-documenting parameters:

Long-running projects need regular upkeep to avoid stale dependencies, growing data, and bloated storage that raise costs and slow applications.

prepend makes Ruby monkey patches cleaner by inserting an extension before the original implementation, so super still reaches it and ancestor chains stay readable.

JavaScript minifiers can shorten private members safely when internal names follow _ or # conventions, reducing bundle size without mangling public APIs.

Plain text .erb emails preserve indentation and blank lines, so indented template code can insert unwanted spaces or extra newlines. Trim mode and unindented markup prevent formatting bugs.

RSpec examples tagged :vcr automatically record and replay HTTP cassettes, while untagged specs block network calls unless HTTP access is explicitly enabled.

ActiveJob and GoodJob can swallow exceptions, causing silent background job failures. Subscribing to job events and on_thread_error restores exception notifications and adds failure context.

Map an array or enumerable to a hash in Ruby using to_h, index_by, group_by, index_with, or a custom collect_hash helper.
