What professions use Ruby?
NASA uses Ruby on Rails ... Netflix originally had one of the best JSON API serializers (before changing maintainers).
-
Yet another JSON serialization question 😎
There is a to_json method and recent benchmarks I found are placing a few ms above fast_jsonapi (which is no longer maintained) and slightly faster that jsonapi-serializer (which is supposed to replace fast_jsonapi according to their website).
-
Is there a path into FAANG jobs for Ruby/Rails devs?
Netflix has definitively had some Ruby in the past as they have the (now unmaintained) https://github.com/Netflix/fast_jsonapi All their ruby repos seem to be abandoned though, so assume there's not much going on there with Ruby currently.

Life in the Fast-Json Lane: Working with JSON:API Serializer
Last week, I covered tricks and tips with handling forms and updating state, as well as sending the data through fetch requests to the backend. Since then, I have been working endlessly on fetching data from the backend, which included building relationships between my various models and sending the data through a Json Serializer made by Netflix, Fast_JSONAPI Serializer (now just JSONAPI Serializer). I learned some new things while working with the serializer and felt I could impart my wisdom this week.

REST API - Modern Rails JSON Serializers - Which Ones To Use?
After googling and reading some articles, I found that there are a lot of blogs related to Fast JSON API which is now deprecated and kind of replaced by JSON:API Serializer. These gems are following JSON:API specification and force our API response to meet this specification standard.

Coming to grips with JS: a Rubyist's deep dive
Experiment using Turbo to drive front-end behavior: "Turbo 7.2.0 (currently in beta) allows you to define your own Stream actions which can be any JS code you want. By combining a custom Stream action or two with web components, you can essentially drive reactive frontend behavior from the backend stupidly easily. Loooove it! 😍 […] For a turnkey example, you could check out https://github.com/hopsoft/turbo_ready " —Jared White on The Spicy Web Discord

Improving a web component, one step at a time
This handles disconnection (as could be done by any destructive change to the DOM, like navigating with Turbo or htmx, I'm not even talking about using the element in a JavaScript-heavy web app) but not reconnection though, and we've exited early from the connectedCallback to avoid initializing the element twice, so this change actually broke our component in these situations where it's moved around, or stashed and then reinserted. To fix that, we need to always call addSparkles in connectedCallback, so move all the rest into an if, that's actually as simple as that… except that when the user prefers reduced motion, sparkles are never removed, so they keep piling in each time the element is connected again. One way to handle that, without introducing our housekeeping of individual timers, is to just remove all sparkles on disconnection. Either that or conditionally add them in connectedCallback if either we're initializing the element (including attaching the shadow DOM) or the user doesn't prefer reduced motion. The difference between both approaches is in whether we want the small animation when the sparkles appear (and appearing at new random locations). I went with the latter.

Mastering Rails Web Navigation with link_to and button_to Helpers - Part 2
If you think you have seen enough Rails magic, you are mistaken my friend. Rails have a new trick up its sleeve: Hotwire. And with the magical Turbo tool that comes with it, you can create modern, interactive web applications with minimal, or sometimes no JavaScript at all, providing users with an incredibly smooth experience.

Why you should choose HTMX for your next project
There is also Turbo and the frameworks who adopt them, Ruby on Rails, PHP Symphony and possibly others that solves the same issue in the same manner as HTMX. And the choice for HTMX is only a personal taste in this, but you should definitely learn about this, this is as cool as HTMX!

JavaScript First, Then TypeScript
Most controversially, the Turbo framework dropped TypeScript support altogether after assessing that strong typing was the culprit behind poor developer experience.

Rack Attack – Rails Tricks
Turbo[0] has been solving this for years. Quite the contrary, front-end frameworks have started to think "sending JSON is good, but actually sending HTML could be great!".
DHH's presentation[1] during Rails World 2023 is quite interesting in that regard, I recommend you give it a go (start around minute 16). I am actually very excited with his vision of the web.
