Have you ever organized an event where many of the registered guests didn't attend the event? To ensure maximum turnaround in an event, an email with an AddToCalendar link can be beneficial as it will help to remind the attendees once they add it to their calendar. Let's see how we can generate and add this magical link in our emails. What you’ll need? An ICS (Internet Calendar Scheduling) FileAn MVC API to download the fileAn ICS File 👀 What is that? The ICS format is a universal calendar file format that all popular calendar applications, including Microsoft Outlook, Apple

Rails 7 is introducing a new method invert_where that will invert all scope conditions. It allows us to invert an entire where clause instead of manually applying conditions. We can either chain invert_where to a scope or to a where condition. class Account scope :active, -> { where(active: true) } end Account.active.invert_where => "SELECT \"accounts\".* FROM \"accounts\" WHERE \"accounts\".\"active\" != 1"Account.where(active: true).invert_where => "SELECT \"accounts\".* FROM \"accounts\" WHERE \"accounts\".\"active\" != 1"What are the various side effects of using invert_where?1. The invert_where method inverts all the where

If you're hosting your web server in a particular region, it might be necessary to comply with the GDPR norms of that region. Anonymizing and encrypting data becomes necessary in such situations. In this blog, we will discuss the attribute encryption that Rails 7 provides right out of the box. And we will also see the Deterministic & Non Deterministic approaches. (If you're using Rails version lesser than 7, check out our previous blog here on how to write a custom encryption framework.) ActiveRecord attribute encryption in Ruby on Rails for better securityIn this blog post, we will explore a

Statistics is the grammar of science. - Karl PearsonData is the new oil. Just type in "Data Science" inside the Google Trends search box, and you would believe it too. The interest over time for data science has taken a boost in the recent past, for reasons as obvious as the theory of evolution and the survival of the fittest! One blog even read that the job of a data scientist is the sexiest job of the 21st century! What comes to our minds whenever we talk about which programming language to pick for data science? Let us be honest,

Hooks introduced in React 16.8, allow us to use stateful logic, lifecycle methods, and side-effects in Functional Components. React's official doc on Hooks is the best way to get you started with them. useRef is one such very helpful Hook that returns a mutable ref object having current property initialized with the value passed as the argument. This mutable object's value persists across multiple renders in the lifecycle of the component and can have various applications based on use-cases. In this blog, we'll understand different scenarios in which the useRef Hook can be helpful with the aid of examples.

Whether beginner, intermediate or advanced developer, we all want to achieve our task by developing workable code. We want to accommodate changes soon to ensure efficiency too. But what if we are not too familiar with the IDE? We land up doing things that take much more time & effort than required. Xcode has a wide variety of these shortcuts, so here are some of them which helped us achieve our tasks faster: Move Line Up Command(⌘) + Option(⌥) + [ shifts the selected piece of code upward, to rearrange the current code. Alternatively, we can also use the same shortcut via Editor

Authentication is one of the key aspects of many web applications. It is the process of identifying a person before granting them access to the application. It is very important that the authentication approach is secure and easy to use for all users. What is passwordless authentication? Passwordless authentication is a verification process that determines whether an individual is who they claim to be, without coercion. You do not require credentials to log in. All you need is an email address or phone number associated with an account and you will get a magic link or one-time password each time

Most of the time in a web application, a single API request consists of multiple database queries. For example: class DashboardsController < ApplicationController def dashboard @users = User.some_complex_scope.load_async @products = Product.some_complex_scope.load_async @library_files = LibraryFile.some_complex_scope.load_async end end Quoting snippet from load_async PR description from rails repository. The queries are executed synchronously, which mostly isn’t a huge concern. But, as the database grows larger in size, the response time of requests is getting longer. A significant part of the query time is often just I/O waits.

We had previously talked about the Serialization formats and How Serialization is implemented for storing objects in the relational database in the first two parts of the blog series. This article focuses on the various Serializers that prepare and construct API transferable data in Ruby on Rails.
