Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Recommended Controllers Serializer Gem?
Blueprinter is something we use on a project, it's also having difficulty staying alive, but right now there is active development here, a fork from the original blueprinted gem.

ActiveModel::Serializer and You
Today I thought I'd run through a few of the powerful things that the ActiveModel::Serializer gem brings to the table when used in a Ruby on Rails application. Sure, there are faster alternatives, but AMS is the first one I learned how to use, and thus it holds a special place in my heart. Quick question before we dive too much deeper, though...

What are you using for API JSON serialization in 2022?

What are the gems that every Ruby dev should know how to use?
Just an FYI: While I agree that the blueprinter gem is awesome, there are currently no active maintainers: https://github.com/procore/blueprinter/issues/288
-
Hunting down spooky JSON module redefinition via Oj
In a happy coincidence, we're knee-deep in the middle of a migration of our serialisers to use Blueprinter instead of AMS. One benefit, in this case, is that it lets you explicitly set what generator you're using, like so:
-
Accessing [grand+]child through multiple queries VS having direct reference to the [grand+]parent on every model.
What made me think about this is that I'm using (maybe in the wrong way) some gems like Blueprinter and Amoeba.
-
What is the best way to retrieve all instances of a model, along with it's associations, in an index action when using React (or not Rails Views)?
I've been using Blueprinter so far, and it has been working great, but I'd like to ditch it if I can.
-
Looking for a full Rswag example project.
We use it extensively for one project. The only annoying bit involves defining the response json-schema. Luckily we are using a gem called blueprinter for JSON serialization, so we added a bunch of overrides that store metadata, so we can generate the json-schema with meta programming. You might need to find a library that would help you write the schemas fluently [1] / [2] to make it easier to define them.

A guide to Auth & Access Control in web apps 🔐
https://github.com/CanCanCommunity/cancancan (Ruby on Rails ABAC) Same like casl.js, but for Ruby on Rails! Casl.js was actually inspired and modeled by cancancan.

Authentication, Roles, and Authorization... oh my.
For authorization, I'm going back and forth with Pundit and CanCanCan

Feature flags in Rails: How to roll out and manage your features like a pro
This code mounts the Flipper UI at the /flipper endpoint in your application. The RoleConstraint class is used to restrict access to the UI to users who have the manage role. You can customize this constraint to suit your specific needs. In this case, we're using the CanCanCan gem to gate specific routes to admin users. If you haven't worked with CanCanCan before, ignore the RoleConstraint portion.

How would you store roles with up to 64 permissions?
Would you do : 1. a roles table with the name of the role and 64 booleans? 2. A roles table with one JSON field? (using rails json data type) 3. A roles table and a permissions table, similar do what is suggested in the cancancan developpers guide:

Protect your GraphQL data with resource_policy
Expressing authorization rules can be a bit challenging with the use of other authorization gems, such as pundit or cancancan. The resource_policy gem provides a more concise and expressive policy definition that uses a simple block-based syntax that makes it easy to understand and write authorization rules for each attribute.

Permissions (access control) in web apps

Web-app security risks demonstrated
In production code you would most likely use a library for access control, such as CanCanCan
-
YAGNI exceptions
PS If you do mobile / web work (or something else with "detached" UI), I find that declarative access control rules are far superior to imperative ones, because they can be serialized and shipped over the wire. For example, backend running cancancan can be easily send the same rules to casl on the frontend, while if you used something like pundit to secure your backend, you either end up re-implementing it in the frontend, or sending ton of "canEdit" flags with every record.

Best practice for displaying info to different user roles?
You can use a gem like cancancan (https://github.com/CanCanCommunity/cancancan )to manage authorization, and its helpers to show stuff based on what a user can do
