ActiveRecord#each?
Something that’s struck me as odd lately while working with ActiveRecord is the apparent lack of any iteration support. ActiveRecord results don’t come back flat - they are a tree - and so iterating them generically can be a biaatch. Here’s a little go at it:
############################################################################## # SCHEMA...

Reinventing Rails' components, Part Deux.
I got quite a response from my initial posting on reinventing Rails’ components. After a lot of coffee and converstaion with my good friends Dave Clements, Jeremy Hinegardner, and Dan Fitzpatrick I’ve managed to refine it a little bit. First an example and the latest componentry.rb:
class FooController < ApplicationController public def foobar bc = component_for...

Rails components are slow?
It’s been said on the net that Rails’ components are slow - to the point of being unusable. However, this quick, and admittedly incomplete, test seems to indicate little difference for this simple example. Note that the example uses the compoentry.rb code I outlined in this post.
### simple controller class BarController < ApplicationController def initialize @foo = 42 ...
Reinventing Rails' Components
Lately I’ve been hacking on some Rails code for http://eparklabs.com. Dan, the guy that runs it, is unhappy about the state of affairs with Rails’ views. Of course he’s not alone - many people out there are looking for more powerful view abstractions. Just the other night I was down at BDRG and listening to Bruce Williams talk about his new Stencil plugin for Rails. ...
