Build Load More Pagination with Pagy and Rails Hotwire
Now, let's dive into the pagination part of this post: setting up Pagy for handling pagination in our Rails application. If you haven't included the Pagy gem in your project, you'll need to add it manually. Here's how you can do it:
-
Pagination in Rails with Pagy gem
Several gems are available for pagination in Rails, but the Pagy gem is one of the most popular and efficient. It is a fast and lightweight library that provides a simple and flexible API. In this article, we’ll explore how to use it to implement pagination in Rails.

Rux: A JSX-inspired way to render view components in Ruby
> Am I understanding correctly that there’s a significant difference in performance between using a ViewComponent + a partial vs. a ViewComponent which renders html via a tag - from inside the component?
I don't think there will be much difference at all in everyday use, but some libraries that value performance don't avoid templates for that reason, Pagy for example.

Personally I omit them in my projects whenever we want to customise attributes, I hate seeing stuff like this in templates:

A powerful search feature with what Rails provides out of the box
The next step was about backporting the templates, adding Pagy gem for handling pagination and creating the controller. I was then able to show the listings with the models, but the filtering was not working.

The Ultimate Search for Rails - Episode 1
On the backend, we'll need a few tools. Apart from the classics (ActiveRecord scopes and the pg_search gem), you’ll see how the (yet officially unreleased but production-tested) all_futures gem, built by SR authors, will act as an ideal ephemeral object to temporarily store our filter params and host our search logic. Finally, we’ll use pagy for pagination duties.

Pagination and infinite scrolling with Rails and the Hotwire stack
In our application, we will use Pagy to implement pagination. Let’s install Pagy now, following along with the Pagy quick start guide.

Load More Pagination in Rails with Hotwire Turbo Streams
For pagination I tend not to use gems like pagy or kaminari, instead implement this functionality just using limit and offset.

Ten Ruby gems for Rails you should definitely know about
Kaminari hooks onto ActiveRecord associations and makes it super easy to page them. Pagy is another option that seems to have a solid API but I haven't tried it yet.

Re-Wheel series part 1 - How does Rails' find_each work?
But how is this implemented? Well, if you use pagination in your index methods with gems like pagy, kaminari or will_paginate you will find that the same idea is happening here, they are using the power of SQL's LIMIT and OFFSET to fetch only a portion of the data each time. So in the 1 million users example, find_each will perform 1000 thousand queries with a limit of 1000 while changing the offset properly so we don't miss any record.

Client side Git hooks 101
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.

16 Best Ruby Frameworks For Web Development [2024]
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.

More control over enum in Rails 7.1
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.

Ruby on Rails load testing habits
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.

Continuous Deployment with GitHub Actions and Kamal
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.
