What are the gems that every Ruby dev should know how to use?

1. Blueprinter

   1 12 1,302 7.5 Ruby

   Simple, Fast, and Declarative Serialization Library for Ruby

   

   Just an FYI: While I agree that the blueprinter gem is awesome, there are currently no active maintainers: https://github.com/procore/blueprinter/issues/288

2. SaaSHub

   www.saashub.com featured

   SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews. SaaSHub helps you find the best software and product alternatives

   

3. bundler-audit

   2 5 2,754 6.4 Ruby

   Patch-level verification for Bundler

   

   bundler-audit - check for known security issues

4. Discard

   3 5 2,407 5.1 Ruby

   🃏🗑 Soft deletes for ActiveRecord done right

   

   discard - a soft-delete implementation that avoids a lot of the gotchas associated with paranoia or acts_as_paranoid gem.

5. CanCanCan

   4 21 5,669 5.3 Ruby

   The authorization Gem for Ruby on Rails.

   

   It fails deadly -- forgetting to pass an instance grants unintended access, and this problem is so bad they have a document explaining how to avoid it. If you use a permission in an unintended way, it should not grant access.
