mustache.js VS Ruby on Rails

Templating engine: SSGs rely on templating engines to define the structure of web pages. These engines enable developers to create reusable templates and incorporate dynamic content. Popular templating engines include Liquid, Handlebars, Mustache, EJS, ERB, HAML, and Slim.

I also enjoy simple templating engines. It makes it far easier to reason about a template and mentally step-through it. For existing art, there are:

DustJS which is a "logic-less" template engine (just loops and simple if-statements): https://github.com/linkedin/dustjs

and there is also mustache, which is very similar: https://mustache.github.io/

Personally, I've re-implemented DustJS in rust but its still a very alpha project: https://code.fizz.buzz/talexander/duster

I think the homepage states, "Logic-less templates"

Other popular templating engines include Jade, EJS, and Handlebars. Jade is a high-performance templating engine that is used for server-side rendering. EJS is a lightweight templating engine that is used for client-side and server-side rendering. Handlebars is a templating language that is based on the Mustache template language.

JSX just a templating language in this case, right? No reactivity at all? What's the benefit against using something like https://github.com/janl/mustache.js/ ?

You don't have to even program the replacement part yourself, because there are many libraries made specifically for that. For this example, I'd recommend mustache.

This is one of the least-bad names because it implements a non-Boost standard and it's named after that. I've used mustache in Python so knew immediately it was a templating language.

First, I setup mustache (npm package) as the templating language (the npm package hasn’t been updated in two years, so that’s great). Mustache is really simple, it provides a few helper utilities, like replacing variables, or iterating over data,

Once the array is ready and back in place, we need to display the information from the emails, and for that we can use the template node. This node uses the mustache system, which is a logicless template engine for creating dynamic content. In other words, it generates HTML code by using tags that are replaced by code.

Here's a real life example: Imagine a Ruby on Rails app on which a team of developers are working. The code is hosted on GitLab and all the work is coordinated using GitLab issues. In other words: For every commit, there's an associated issue and the issue number acts as a sort of primary key for documentation, time reporting and so forth. This convention has a few advantages, most notably the ability to easily learn more about how, when and by whom features were implemented as well as how this implementation came to be.

Ruby on Rails is regarded as one of the best ruby frameworks. It was the primary language in developing big projects such as Twitter and helped the language boost the community. Often referred to as “Rails,” Ruby on Rails is a web development framework with an MVC control structure and currently running its 6.1 version. The 16-year-old language has dramatically influenced the web development structures and managing databases, web pages, and other components on a web application.

In Rails 7.1, a new option _instance_methods is introduced, allowing developers to opt-out of the automatic generation of instance methods for enums. When enum is defined with _instance_methods: false, Rails will no longer generate methods like pending?, processed?, etc.

Rails isn't super opinionated about database writes, its mostly left up to developers to discover that for relational DBs you do not want to be doing a bunch of small writes all at once.

That said it specifically has tools to address this that started appearing a few years ago https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/35077

The way my team handles it is to stick Kafka in between whats generating the records (for us, a bunch of web scraping workers) and and a consumer that pulls off the Kafka queue and runs an insert when its internal buffer reaches around 50k rows.

Rails is also looking to add some more direct background type work with https://github.com/basecamp/solid_queue but this is still very new - most larger Rails shops are going to be running a second system and a gem called Sidekiq that pulls jobs out of Redis.

I'm looking forward to see what extractions from this will land on rails. For example: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/50454

Here is what strict_loading does (source):

Kamal is a wonderfully simple way to deploy your applications anywhere. It will also be included by default in Rails 8. Kamal is trivial, but I don’t recommend using it on your development machine.

Here's the GitHub milestone I've based this article on — https://github.com/rails/rails/milestone/87
