Uninstall nodejs from OSX Yosemite
# first:
lsbom -f -l -s -pf /var/db/receipts/org.nodejs.pkg.bom | while read f; do sudo rm /usr/local/${f}; done
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node /usr/local/lib/node_modules /var/db/receipts/org.nodejs.*
# To recap, the best way (I've found) to completely uninstall node + npm is to do the following:
# go to /usr/local/lib and delete any node and node_modules
cd /usr/local/lib
sudo rm -rf node*

Thoughts About Rails Presenters

Thoughts about Rails Presenters

This is a collection of links, examples and rants about Presenters/Decorators in Rails.


The "Decorator" pattern slowly started gaining popularity in Rails several years ago. It is not part of core Rails, and there's many different interpretations about how it should work in practice.

Jay Fields wrote about it in 2007 (before he switched back to Java and then Clojure): http://blog.jayfields.com/2007/03/rails-presenter-pattern.html
