Weeknotes: 9 October to 13 October 2023
Learning more about a Ruby method, deploying a Rails app without a CLI command, generating a Dockerfile with Rails 7.1 and continuous accessibility
Sandra's Weeknotes
What I have found gripping
An each loop in Ruby is a way to “repeat until done”
Not having a CLI command to set secrets before deploying a Rails app to a new host makes for a more complex deployment process
Using this Rails command is a necessary step in the process: EDITOR=vim rails credentials:edit --environment production
In Rails 7.1, it is possible to generate a Dockerfile by typing this Rails command in the terminal at the root of the project folder: bin/rails generate dockerfile
Adding CSS to a Sinatra app involves a DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) approach
What I have read
Don’t repeat yourself (Wikipedia)
Featured quote
Any plans we make to improve accessibility in our products should include plans for the code we already have. We need to think about the age of our code base. How long has that code been around? This will probably make us think about those dependencies that we need to upgrade. How do we plan for upgrades? — Melanie Sumner
