Web fonts are pretty much all the rage. Using a CDN for font libraries, like TypeKit or Google Fonts, will be a great solution for many projects. For others, this is not an option. Especially when you are creating a custom icon library for your project.

Rails and the asset pipeline are great tools, but Rails has yet to get caught up in the custom web font craze.

As with all things Rails, there is more then one way to skin this cat. There is the recommended way, and then there are the other ways.

The recommended way

Here I will show how to update your Rails project so that you can use the asset pipeline appropriately and resource your files using the common Rails convention.

Capybara Actions

# Anchor
click_link 'Save'

# Button
click_button 'awesome'

# Both above

Rails Setting model

This is a semi-quick key/value store I put together for a quick way to store temporary data related to what's in my database, in a reliable way. For example, I'm using it to keep track of where a hourly and a daily crontask that processes statistics left off, so it can resume only processing and summarizing new data on the next run.

Code quality most likely is not great, but it works. And I will update this gist as I update my project.

How It Works

The settings table has two columns, a key and a value column. The value column is serialized, so you can technically store almost anything in there. Memcache is also used as a caching layer to minimize database calls.

	class DirectUploadController < ApplicationController

	def create
	response = generate_direct_upload(blob_params)
	render json: response
	end

	private
	def blob_params
	params.require(:file).permit(:filename, :byte_size, :checksum, :content_type, metadata: {})

	import React, { Component } from 'react';
	import { bindActionCreators } from 'redux';
	import { connect } from 'react-redux';
	import { $ACTION } from '../actions';

	class $LIST_CONTAINER extends Component {

	componentWillMount() {
	this.props.$ACTION();
	}

	// Mixpanel Cheatsheet
	// This requires the mixpanel javascript library to be embedded on your site
	// https://mixpanel.com/help/reference/javascript-full-api-reference


	// 1. API Methods.


	mixpanel.init('new token', { your: 'config' }, 'library_name'); // initialize a new instance of the Mixpanel tracking object
	mixpanel.push(['register', { a: 'b' }]); // push() keeps the standard async-array-push behavior around after the lib is loaded. This is only useful for external integrations that do not wish to rely on our convenience methods (created in the snippet).
