Build out a Twitter UI with a tweet form and inline editing using Stimulus JS
Use the jstz Javascript timezone library to help auto-detect and set the user's time zone in your Rails apps
Starting our Embeddable JS Widget series outlining the comment and discussion models and the basic webpacker setup
The next step in our embeddable javascript widget series is setting up our Vue frontend to talk with our Rails backend using Vuex
Embeddable Javascript Widgets often contain forms. We're using Vuex to build our comment form widget and we're going to use vue-map-fields to make this easier.
Cross-origin Resource Sharing (CORS) allows your website to talk to other websites.
We don't want anyone to be able to embed your Javascript widget on any domain, so we'll setup our app to check the domain and only allow the widget on specific sites
We can use webpacker to create scoped styles for our Javascript widget and build an embed code that links to the latest version of our webpacker JS and CSS for our embeddable widget.
Autosaving draft records allows you to make sure users don't lose their work and can easily write draft content without publishing right away. We'll be using Stimulus to build an autosave controller for our form and Draftsman to power the backend.
Creating draft records in your database can be tricky. We'll be using the Draftsman gem to help us create draft versions of our records with our autosave Javascript
Don't like Cocoon or it's jQuery dependency? We can use Stimulus JS and build dynamic nested forms in Rails with accepts_nested_attributes_for from scratch pretty easily!
Webpacker provides some nice tools for loading Javascript in several different ways. We're looking at require.context to see how to load an entire directory's set of files easily.
Scroll events in Javascript can happen quickly. We want to make sure we don't request the same page multiple times which we can solve easily by introducing a little throttling.
An updated version of our Group Chat series using Webpacker, ActionCable, Stimulus.js, and modern Javascript to build a very clean version of realtime group chat in Rails
Using the Intersection Observer API, we can refactor our infinite scroll example to be much more efficient and simpler to use
Keeping track of a user's last read timestamp for each chat room is straightforward, especially when we use Stimulus.js to update it from the client side.
Webpack bundles can be confusing as to what actually ships in production. Using the bundle analyzer plugin, we can visualize and see exactly what libraries and files are taking up what space.
It's important to see that there are unread messages in channels you're not actively viewing. We can use a very simple event in ActionCable to do this and bold channel names with unread messages.
