Everything was going great until I installed Devise!
I have been using devise for a while and it has consistently given me issues. I have wistfully been staring at sorcery for a while now but cant justify the switch since devise is already in the project.

Build a password authentication feature with Sorcery gem.
I made a 8 minutes video tutorial (following the wiki: https://github.com/Sorcery/sorcery/wiki/Simple-Password-Authentication) to introduce how to build a simple password authentication feature with Sorcery. With some minor modification to please Turbo.

Authentication with Sorcery, RSpec, and Rails 7: Building a simple Rails CMS - Part 1
We'll be installing Sorcery based off this tutorial in their wiki. I'm modifying a little bit since we are creating something different, but also because their tutorial is a bit outdated since it is based off an older version of Rails.

A November of WTFs
But does it have to be so soon? There are other areas where I'm just as ignorant as I was about the inner workings of authentication (see "the database" below), and in these areas there's not a gem that can automatically solve the problem for me—which is what I've ended up doing for authentication in my own project: even though I could build authentication from scratch, instead I'm using an authentication gem because the effect is exactly the same, but with less code in my app for me to maintain. (Rather than Devise, I've chosen the more lightweight alternative Sorcery. It's simple enough that I can still understand and control the authentication flow, while also providing enough conveniences that I don't have to write out implementation details from scratch.)

Why there is no simple default auth in Rails?
Also Sorcery is, despite its name, a little less magic than Devise.

Asset Pipeline JS Migration
Using Webpacker in Rails provides several advantages over the traditional asset pipeline. First, Webpacker uses JavaScript modules, which allows for better code organization and improved code reusability. Second, it offers modern frontend build tools, such as Babel and PostCSS, for transforming and compiling assets. Third, it provides faster build times and faster runtime performance through code splitting and lazy loading. Fourth, it offers better integration with JavaScript frameworks such as React, Vue, and Angular. Overall, Webpacker offers a more flexible and modern asset management solution for Rails applications. And while Webpacker is being retired, this initiative is to consolidate our code accordingly before moving our bundler to another solution.

How to setup ruby on rails + Angular
in ruby on rails 7 what is the best way to properly install Angular because I can't find any documentation about it. The only tutorial that exists uses webpacker (https://github.com/rails/webpacker) but unfortunately it is no longer supported and no longer up to date in terms of security.

Using Rails+ReactJS with Webpacker on VS Code?
instead of using webpacker you should move to esbuild or importmap. Webpacker has been retired a few months ago (cf https://github.com/rails/webpacker) There are videos explained how to set this up (e.g. for importmap https://learnetto.com/tutorials/how-to-use-react-with-rails-7
