action_text!

https://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/action_text_overview.html

// Console
rails action_text:install

// application.js
require("trix")
require("@rails/actiontext")

// actiontext.scss
@import "trix/dist/trix";

// application.scss
@import "./actiontext.scss";

// app/models/course.rb
class Course < ApplicationRecord
  has_rich_text :description
end

// app/views/courses/_form.html.erb
<%= f.label :description %>
<%= f.rich_text_area :description %>

add alerts and notices

// application.html.haml
= render 'layouts/messages'

// _messages.html.haml
- flash.each do |name, msg|
  - if msg.is_a?(String)
    %div{:class => "alert alert-#{name.to_s == 'notice' ? 'success' : 'danger'}", :role => "alert"}
      %button.close{"aria-hidden" => "true", "data-dismiss" => "alert", :type => "button"} ×
      = content_tag :div, msg, :id => "flash_#{name}"

basic search in navbar

// courses_controller.rb

def index
  if params[:title]
    @courses = Course.where('title ILIKE ?', "%#{params[:title]}%") #case-insensitive
  else
    @courses = Course.all
  end
end

// _header.html.haml

.form-inline.my-2.my-lg-0
  = form_tag(courses_path, method: :get) do
    .input-group
      = text_field_tag :title, params[:title], autocomplete: 'off', placeholder: "Find a course", class: 'form-control-sm'
      %span.input-group-append
        %button.btn.btn-primary.btn-sm{:type => "submit"}
          %span.fa.fa-search{"aria-hidden" => "true"}

credentials

CREATE CREDENTIALS & EDIT

rails credentials:edit 
EDITOR=vim rails credentials:edit

WORKING WITH VIM

For inserting
Press i //Do required editing
For exiting
Press Esc
:wq //for exiting and saving
:q! //for exiting without saving

FIND A CREDENTIAL

rails c
Rails.application.credentials.dig(:aws, :access_key_id)
or if an env variable is used
Rails.application.credentials[Rails.env.to_sym][:aws][:access_key_id]

In production:
heroku config:set RAILS_MASTER_KEY=123456789
or
heroku config:set RAILS_MASTER_KEY=`cat config/master.key`

search by an attribute!

// courses_controller.rb

def index
  if params[:name]
    @courses = Course.published.approved.where('name ILIKE ?', "%#{params[:name]}%") #case-insensitive
    #@courses = Course.where('name LIKE ?', "%#{params[:name]}%") #case-sensitive
    #@courses = Course.where('LOWER(name) LIKE LOWER(?)', "%#{params[:name]}%") #make lowercase
  else
    @courses = Course.published.approved.all
  end
end

// in any view:

.form-inline.my-2.my-lg-0
  = form_tag(posts_path, method: :get) do
    .input-group
      = text_field_tag :name, params[:name], autocomplete: 'off', placeholder: "Find a post", class: 'form-control-sm'
      %span.input-group-append
        %button.btn.btn-primary.btn-sm{:type => "submit"}
          %span.fa.fa-search{"aria-hidden" => "true"}
