Background and Cron Jobs

oelmekki

1. Gemfile

gem 'browserify-rails', '1.5.0' # until fix: https://github.com/browserify-rails/browserify-rails/issues/101
gem 'react-rails'

Browserify-rails allows to use browserify within assets pipeline. React-rails is here only to allow to use #react_component (and thus, prerendering).

Note that jquery-rails can be removed from Gemfile, the npm version of jquery and jquery-ujs will be used instead.

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics

• elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

Setup

Replace IRB with Pry (in your Gemfile) and Byebug with pry-byebug.

gem 'pry-byebug', group: [:development, :test]

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

• -E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
• -l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)
