A guide to Auth & Access Control in web apps 🔐

Authentication, Roles, and Authorization... oh my.

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.

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.

Bootstrapping with Ruby on Rails Generators and Templates
Everyone has different preferences for writing and developing Rails apps, so there are numerous generators and application templates out there.

Any Rails template that uses Hotwire?
For example: https://github.com/excid3/jumpstart Comes with several features and gems out of the box but it seems it is not setup for Rails 7 and Hotwire yet. I was thinkg that maybe there could be something similitar o Jumpstart but with Rails 7 + Hotwire
