Padrino 0.13.3 - Generator changes, mailer rendering, proper URL escaping for link_to and form_tag helpers, new helper method, bug fixes

Posted on August 18, 2016 by Matthias Günther | categories: ruby, update

Padrino 0.13.3 was shipped in August 2016. This version contains generator changes, mailer rendering, proper URL escaping for link_to and form_tag helpers, new helper method, bug fixes.

Generator changes

No generator support for:

  • riot (last change is from October 2013)
  • steak (last change is from January 2012)
  • rightjs (last project update from March 2012)

For more details see this commit.

Mailer rendering

Implemented new way to call render in mailers. It allows to omit mailer name or mailer name and message name.

Example:

mailer :sample do
  message :message2
    render 'congrats' #=> renders from 'sample/congrats'
  end
  message :message1
    render #=> renders from 'sample/message1'
  end
end

For more details check #1907 allow clipped render calls in mailer (@ujifgc). Thanks to @jf for posting this idea.

There has been an inconsistency between image_tag and link_to/form_tag in escaping URIs:

puts(image_tag 'image name.jpeg')
# => <img src="/images/image%20name.jpeg?1459513767" />

# previous behavior
link_to 'image title', 'image name.jpeg')
# => <a href="image name.jpeg">image title</a>

# actual behavior
link_to 'image title', 'image name.jpeg')
# => <img src="/images/image%20name.jpeg?1459513767" />

For more details check #2016 escape urls in link_to and form_tag (@ujifgc). Thanks to @jf for posting this idea.

Example:

escape_link('http://example.com/spaced link')
# => 'http://example.com/spaced%20link'

escape_link('already%20partially escaped')
# => 'already%20partially%20escaped'

More details under tag_helpers.rb.

  • FIX #1662 make Reloader remove module constants (this occurred when source code is changed under a running padrino application)
  • FIX #2036 do not mutate route name String (@ujifgc)

Padrino 0.13.2 - New Project Flag, Component Upgrades and Bug Fixes

Posted on May 09, 2016 by Nathan Esquenazi | categories: ruby, update

Padrino 0.13.1 was shipped just over 3 months ago in January 2016 and since then we have had many issues reported and fixed. After a few months of effort, we are excited to announce the release of Padrino 0.13.2! This version is filled with a new project generator flag, minimizing dependence on AS, upgrading a few components and a number of other bug fixes.

New API Project Generator Flag

In this release, we've introduced a new project generator flag of --api. When this flag is used during project generation, the following changes are applied to the new project:

  • Project only has padrino-core and padrino-gen listed as dependencies in the Gemfile.
  • Padrino::Mailer and Padrino::Helpers are not registered or referenced in the project.
  • Automatically sets :renderer, :scripts, and :stylesheet to none in .components.

You can see more about this in pull request #1921. Thanks to @ujifgc for implementing this.

Simplified Initializers

Many apps have configuration code that needs to run first as the project starts up before the application is loaded. Padrino has always supported this with initializers in lib/NAME_initializer.rb. However, there were no guarantees that this code would run before other project code leading to dependency issues due to loading order. In this release, we have introduced the config/initializers folder which get loaded once during startup before any other app code is loaded. Initializers look like this:

# config/initializers/some_useful.rb
# code run once after Padrino.before_load before Padrino.after_load
# good place to define some plugin-related constants
module SomeUsefulInitializer
  def self.registered(app)
    # this is where we setup components or configuration for the project
  end
end

In your app code, for example app/app.rb, we can register this with:

register SomeUsefulInitializer

You can see more about this in pull request #2032. Thanks to @ujifgc for implementing this.

Minimize ActiveSupport Dependence

Over the last few releases, we have been working to minimize our dependency on ActiveSupport. Note that at this time the library is still a required dependency. However, we are incrementally removing all uses of this library from the internals of Padrino whenever possible.

For those interested, we've removed many ActiveSupport methods from internal usage including but not limited to:

Thanks to @ujifgc for leading these efforts.

Component Upgrades

We've upgraded or fixed a few components:
