Ruby & Rails Tips
I've been sharing Ruby & Rails tips on Twitter for a long time. Here are some of them:

Did you know about template variants? Useful when you have let's say one view for admins and one for normal users. Or one for mobile and one for desktop (when the views are too different to just be responsive).#ruby #rails #rubyonrailspic.twitter.com/lhMBdMra5x

You can use infinite ranges with dates and numbers in your ActiveRecord queries.

Did you know you can add custom methods automatically available in the Rails console? Useful for things you often need to do in the console like logging in.

Need to test some code that runs queries?
The Rails console sandbox is the perfect place to play around without affecting your development data.#ruby #rails #rubyonrailspic.twitter.com/j0TjdJ2ntC

Did you know that since Rails 6.1, you can add one line in your config to have comments added to your HTML showing you where each part of your view comes from (layout, component, partial..)? Useful for debugging views in the browser.#ruby #rails #rubyonrails pic.twitter.com/7frHiCAJ3z

Did you know Rails 7 added support for PostgreSQL generated columns? These columns will be calculated by the database only once on INSERT and UPDATE.#ruby #rails #rubyonrailspic.twitter.com/GQeNTwGcES

Did you know that Rails 7 added a way to run queries in parallel? This can give good performance gains if you have multiple queries in a single controller action. Example below ⬇️#ruby #rails #rubyonrailspic.twitter.com/PCKmxIBjcC

Using “length” to count active records will save you a query if you will use the records later.
“length” loads records into memory then in-memory count
“count” runs COUNT query
“size” runs COUNT query if records loaded, else in-memory count#ruby #rubyonrails pic.twitter.com/PF856FhnvU
