Weeknotes vol. 8: Active Storage and shipping baby no. 6
Posted:
I had two (big) tasks this week (which as per usual I’m writing after the fact):
- Get file uploads integrated into the app with Active Storage
- Bring my beautiful wife to the hospital on Friday to ship baby no. 6
I’ll stick to the nerdy stuff for this post though.
There’s nothing not to love about Rails, as my experience with Active Storage further confirmed. Installation is a breeze.
bin/rails active_storage:install-
bin/rails db:migrate -
class Thought < ApplicationRecord has_one_attached :file end - Make some updates to your form(s)
- Done
And then there’s all the little app specific details, and that’s what took the week.
Phil finished the Web/Mac app design, and so the next few weeks (after the break with baby) will be spent focused on production-ready HTML and CSS, which I’m very excited about. This is where my original love for the internet started and I’m excited to see what’s changed since the last time I was serious about it (probably everything).
