In the era of content consumption where streaming platforms like YouTube and Netflix have millions of concurrent users, no one wants to wait more than a minute to consume anything, it must be available instantly! Streaming becomes a need in this situation. While downloading requires waiting until the entire file has been downloaded on your computer, streaming allows you to view downloaded portions of the material on the fly. This significantly reduces the waiting time. Let's see with the help of a small example how streaming was handled before Rails 7 and what changed after Rails 7. With Rails <
Rails 7.1 adds the raise_on_assign_to_attr_readonly config to config.active_record that is used to raise ActiveRecord::ReadonlyAttributeError error on assignment to attr_readonly attributes. The previous behavior would allow assignment but silently not persist changes to the database. Configuring config.active_record.raise_on_assign_to_attr_readonly In a newly created Rails 7.1 application, config.load_defaults 7.1 is set by default in application.rb. The default value of raise_on_assign_to_attr_readonly for config.load_defaults 7.1 is true and for config.load_defaults < 7.1

Rails provides the has_secure_password method, which makes it gloriously easy to implement authentication in our application. But we often need an extra layer of verification before allowing users to update certain fields. For e.g. Users must provide their “old” password when updating their email/password fields. Before Rails 7.1To implement this, we must manually add and validate the current_password accessor: # app/models/user.rb class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_secure_password attr_accessor :current_password end# app/controllers/passwords_controller.rb class PasswordsController < ApplicationController def update password_challenge = password_params.delete(:current_password)
Rails 7.1 adds the ability to define the number of locals a template can accept. To achieve this, add a locals magic comment inside the partial.
Ruby 3 has introduced an experimental feature called Ractors. In this article, let's learn more about Ractor with example usage.

An ActiveRecord query by default uses the SELECT * operator to select all the fields from the result set. The ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#select method allows you to select a subset of fields from the result set. Before Rails 7.1 ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#select and ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#reselect only accept strings, symbols, or raw SQL to define columns and aliases to select. When querying a single model, we can provide column names as an array of strings or symbols, or we can provide raw SQL. > Model.select(:field, :other_field) > # OR > Model.select('field', 'other_field') > # OR >
