  1. And it’s usual to learn new things in the process

    We’re always learning, right?
  2. Rails tricks / features Not used by many Not very

    well known and / or documented
  3. What we will see: Active Record Active Model Action Mailer

    Action View Action Controller Bonus Stuff
  4. migrations: change column null class ChangeNameToNotNullOnAuthors < ActiveRecord::Migration def up

    change_column :authors, :name, :string, null: false end ! def down change_column :authors, :name, :string, null: true end end
  5. migrations: change column null class ChangeNameToNotNullOnAuthors < ActiveRecord::Migration def up

    change_column_null :authors, :name, false end ! def down change_column_null :authors, :name, true end end
  6. migrations: change column null class ChangeNameToNotNullOnAuthors < ActiveRecord::Migration def change

    change_column :authors, :name, :string, null: false end end # => ActiveRecord::IrreversibleMigration ! class ChangeNameToNotNullOnAuthors < ActiveRecord::Migration def change change_column_null :authors, :name, false end end
  7. migrations: change column default class ChangeStatusDefaultOnArticles < ActiveRecord::Migration def up

    change_column :articles, :status, :string, default: 'draft' end ! def down change_column :articles, :status, :string, default: 'published' end end
  8. migrations: change column default class ChangeStatusDefaultOnArticles < ActiveRecord::Migration def up

    change_column_default :articles, :status, 'draft' end ! def down change_column_default :articles, :status, 'published' end end
  9. migrations: change column default class ChangeStatusDefaultOnArticles < ActiveRecord::Migration def change

    change_column :articles, :status, :string, default: 'draft' end end # => ActiveRecord::IrreversibleMigration ! class ChangeStatusDefaultOnArticles < ActiveRecord::Migration def change change_column_default :articles, :status, 'draft' end end # => ActiveRecord::IrreversibleMigration
  10. Relation#merge class Author < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :articles ! scope :with_draft_articles,

    -> { uniq.joins(:articles). where(articles: { status: 'draft' }) } end

  13. group counting >> Article.group(:status).count ! SELECT COUNT(*) AS count_all, status

    AS status FROM "articles" GROUP BY status ! => {"draft"=>7, "published"=>2}
  14. group counting: multiple attrs >> Article.group(:status, :category).count ! SELECT COUNT(*)

  17. where.not class Article < ActiveRecord::Base scope :not_draft, -> { where

    'status != ?', 'draft' } end ! >> Article.not_draft.to_sql ! SELECT "articles".* FROM "articles" WHERE (status != 'draft')
