Needed a helper to find the next occurrence of a date (birthdays, holidays, etc.), so I built it.
Now it’s an open @rubyonrails.org.web.brid.gy PR: Date.upcoming_date(month, day) 🎉
Proud to give back to the open-source community that gives us so much ❤️
Hope it gets merged 🤞

Discovered a neat trick in the turbo_power gem by @marcoroth.dev 💡
turbo_stream.toggle_css_class supports force:, just like the DOM API.
No need for manual logic — may the force: be with you 🛸✨

HexaPDF gem from @gettalong.bsky.social made it super easy to add PDF form filling to our rails app 🙌
The hardest part? Finding the PDF form field names 🤯
We wanted to give back, so we built a tool to list them all:
dotruby.com/tools/hexapd...
Drag a PDF → see all field names → done ✅

🚨 Rails tip: Appending query params with concat or + "?..." can break your URLs — especially if the URL already includes parameters.
Instead of risking invalid or double ?s, use a proper helper that merges params safely. 👇

💡 I needed to check if a string is a valid app path in my Rails app — surprisingly, couldn’t find a built-in way.
So I wrote a small helper method.
Sharing in case it helps someone — or if there’s a better way? 🤔👇

I remembered today and thought I'd share:
You can use .many? instead of count > 1 — more readable and sometimes faster!
💡 On relations: uses LIMIT 2
⚠️ On associations: loads all records

Anchor links not scrolling correctly in your Rails app?
Turbo Drive intercepts clicks and replaces page content via fetch (not a full page reload) — and that breaks native #anchor scrolling.
Fix it with data-turbo="false"
Tamed the Turbo — anchor away! ⚓

Just discovered you can add an if after a content_tag block in Rails views — way cleaner than wrapping the whole thing!

Pluralizing model names in Rails with proper i18n — there's a helper for that.
I wrote a small helper that uses model_name.human(count: ...) to do it the right way — fully i18n-ready.
Simple, readable, and it works with any model as long as it's been translated 😉

💡 Clean Rails views with conditional wrapping?
Use conditional_tag to wrap content in a tag only if a condition is true.
No more messy if blocks in ERB. Just clean, readable templates.

Just discovered a neat @vscode.dev setting:
"debug.allowBreakpointsEverywhere": true
Turns out, you can set breakpoints literally anywhere — *.html.erb, *.turbo_stream.erb, you name it. No more “breakpoints can't be set here” nonsense. Feels like cheating, but it works. 😎

✨ Conditional form fields with pure HTML & Tailwind!
Want to show/hide fields based on selected option? No JS! Just use group-has-* from Tailwind.
#1: Show input when selected.
#2: Show a different <select> for each option.
🔥 Works great for forms with dynamic inputs!
