This is a subject far too little discussed from what I can tell, yet with a fundamental awareness and regular usage of design patterns, you can dramatically uplevel your frontend code.
In this episode, I break down the main conceptual difference between "string-based templates" such as ERB and "DSLs" such as Papercraft, the various options within each category, and some of the reasons you might want to choose one approach or another depending on your use case.
There are no full stack engineers?! Let's talk about that. Also, just what is a componentized view architecture anyway? I break it all down and explain why I'm gung-ho about view components. Plus I answer questions regarding Stimulus, nice_partials, and other Rails tooling from listeners like YOU! Enjoy, and keep on Ruby-ing!
I’m so glad you could tune in for the debut episode of Fullstack Ruby. I’ve been on a few Ruby-themed podcasts over the past 18 months, but this is the first time I’m running a show about Ruby myself! To kick things off, I'd like to introduce you to Ruby2JS and explain why I think this technology is a game changer.
