  • From partials to ViewComponents: writing reusable front-end code in Rails
    11 projects | dev.to | 3 Jun 2022
    So what about the world outside Rails defaults? There are quite a few independent projects trying to help build components in the Rails view layer, among the more famous being Draper (utilizing the decorators pattern) or Cells (full-featured components in views). In the end, we decided to take a deeper look into a relatively new one – the ViewComponent framework.
  • Cells - Introduction
    3 projects | dev.to | 12 Mar 2021
    GitHub has recently posted an article about view_component: https://github.blog/2020-12-15-encapsulating-ruby-on-rails-views/ Before it gets too popular I think I should share my experience with cells So that developers can have another chance to re-think and pick what to use for "encapsulated view components".
  • Why being a developer is frustrating — and why we do it anyway

    This, combined with the fact that we are using cells gem for some view components, resulted in another couple of hours of hunting for the problem (it takes some time to debug what exactly and how exactly changed in Rails internals) and then fixing this problem. At this moment, I already spent over 8 hours debugging Rails internals, different gem internals, fixing application, fixing tests, screaming internally.
