To start off our automated transcription series, we'll start by creating our database model for
ActiveRecord Aggregations let you use composed_of to combine columns into a single attribute using a Ruby object.
We need to keep track of the web pages we want to monitor and scrape data from, so let's create our ActiveRecord model for storing this information and a Result model for storing the result each time we scrape a web page.
Rails associations provide an object that quacks like an ActiveRecord but is actually a CollectionProxy. We can extend the proxy object with our own functionality to add useful features with Ruby Modules.
Mission Control Jobs is a UI for ActiveJob in Rails. It was announced at Rails World 2023 and just got released. It currently supports SolidQueue and Resque with more queue adapter support in the future.
Using some Ruby metaprogramming and class_eval, we can build Notifiers that allow us to dynamically define STI models and inject code into them with our notification system.
Have models that store the same data but need different functionality? Rails provides Single Table Inheritance in ActiveRecord to solve this problem.
Notifications in Rails applications are even easier now with the new release of Noticed gem v2. We'll explore how to add notifications to your Rails app in just a few minutes.

Has secure password is boasting some new benefits in Rails 7.1 with the addition of the authenticate_by method which reduces timing-based enumeration attack vulnerabilities. Also being introduced is the ability to provide a required password challenge.
Normalizing data has always been a pain in Rails, but not anymore! Instead of callbacks or overriding setters, Rails 7.1 introduces "normalizes" to make normalizing data easy.
First things first, we need a Link model to store our
Rails' ActiveRecord supports virtual generated columns in the database. For example, you can use these for converting numbers like degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit. These columns are saved with the regular table data and allows you to query against them.
Modules and concerns provide a way to make functionality reusable across your Rails application and other apps. In this lesson, we'll show you how we can refactor our comments functionality to add a feature to any resources in Rails.
Now that we have password sharing, it's important to add roles & permissions so users have limited access to actions on shared passwords.
Sharing is caring. Password sharing can be pretty easily implemented by using our join table. All we need to do is add and remove records to add or remove access for a user.
Since we're planning to share passwords with multiple users, we need to use a join table to associate the password with users. We'll explore how to set this up and create records using the join table and has_many through association
We don't want to save passwords in plaintext in our password manager's database. That would be insecure. Luckily Rails provides ActiveRecord Encryption to make this easy.
