SupeRails chat

Yaro released a podcast episode with Amanda Perino about Rails World. Bookmark the page. I think you'll see something cool there soon.

Short Ruby Newsletter is back in one piece

Lucian ran a test to see if there's more value in having two newsletters (Code and Content) separately. I think folks voted for the "one for all" strategy.
There's still fantastic content, from cool snippets to what's happening in the community, so subscribe if you haven't.

https://shortruby.com/

Friendly.rb

Friendly is coming along so nicely! We booked most of the main speakers and kept a slot for lightning talks. So stay close for announcements in the following weeks.

We still have eight more sponsorship spots next to Andy Croll and Flagrant, so if you have a Ruby product or company and want to support a cool event, come check us out.

https://friendlyrb.com/

Avo 3

Avo 3 is coming along nicely. Some of our beta testers have pushed it to production already. If you want to see a live Avo 3 app, check avodemo.com.

See you at RailsSaas 🇬🇷

Next week Yaro and I will hang out at RailsSaas in Athens, so if you want to spend a lovely weekend on a Greek island with us, send us a message.

That's about it for this week.
Thank you for being awesome!

🎸 Features

• Feature/mapkick area map
• Resource index map component
• Add autocomplete field option

🐛 Bug Fixes

Thank you to our contributors

I just want to thank all our contributors. Avo wouldn't be what it is today without them.
avo.cool/contributors

This week we've had tremendous contributions from Jim, Stephen, and Roman. Thank you!

Avo 3 closed beta is starting this week

We will send over the Avo 3 closed beta instructions this week. Unfortunately, we went into a deep rabbit hole on updating and reorganizing the docs, so you know how to get the best of Avo 3.

That is why we've been a bit laggy on the chat and repo. We really want to ship Avo 3, fix those nasty bugs, make the API the best possible, and properly launch Avo 3 publicly so we can get back to the regular release schedule.

https://docs.avohq.io/3.0/avo-3.html

Friendly.rb

We published the new and only Community Sponsorship package, where all sponsors get all the value. There are only 9 spots left, so reach out if you have a Ruby product or company and you'd like to support the community.

Thank you for all your support and contributions ✌️

Hey everyone 👋

Another hefty release today. We broke a few things, fixed a few things, and released cool features.

🎸 Features

• inheritassociationfrom_policy
• files view type
• Add helpers for encoding/decoding filter params

🐛 Bug Fixes

• readonly as proc bug
• ActiveStorage current url_options should be set as a hash of url options
• avoid form manipulation on non-visible fields
• tailwindcss generator
• another approach on attachments field level authorization
• disable sorting on id field
• allow field visible false

🤖 Maintenance

• support view component v3 by updating slot setter methods to new with_* API
• update nokogiri
• Remove orphan closing tags from SVGs

Breaking changes

Make sure you check your visible field option. It's going to be executed on the create and update actions, so when you create or save a record. So if you're doing some kind of check for visibility there based on the actual record, please check it out.

We are now enforcing the view_component gem with a version of 2.54 or higher in order to have view_component 3.0 working, so ensure that your app works with 2.54.

Good first issues

We have a few PRs that are easy to tackle and a few where we need help, so check them out and if you have some time we'd love to have your contributions.
https://github.com/avo-hq/avo/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc+label%3A%22Help+wanted%22

Avo 3

We received about 20 requests for trying out the new Avo version 3. We'll finish up the docs and then start rolling out the closed beta.

PLRUG and other meetups

I loved going to PLRUG and Visuality.pl to speak to other ruby developers about Avo. I think that presentation not only made it click for them on how Avo works but I also highlighted a few cool things they can do with it.

So, I'm open on doing more demos like that one in your meetup, conference, or software house.

Friendly.rb is still on

We know that we were in a bit of a radio silence about Friendly.rb after the announcement of Rails World, but we're happy to say that we're still going forward with our plans in throwing the best conference where you want to go this fall.
We have some cool talks prepared, nice activities, and the best swag.

Short Ruby Newsletter

The Short Ruby Newsletter is not that short, we all saw that. This week, Lucian tried something new and he's splitting it up into two editions. Check it out on https://shortruby.com

SupeRails content is 👌

Yaro has prepared a great video on omniauth with multiple providers so go click that "Notify me" button on his page.

Rails Tricks

Greg Molnar has started a new newsletter "Rails tricks" where he sends out a new Rails trick every week. This week he even had me there to showcase an Avo tip so you better sign up at https://railstricks.com

That's about it for this week. We're visiting family and we took it slow, but we'll pick up the pace next week.

Thanks for being awesome✌️

Vilnius Ruby Meetup on April 6th

Next week on April 6th, I'll be in Vilnius to speak about how to build Rails apps faster with Avo, so if you're in the area, please don't be shy; I'd love to shake a few hands and have a few beers together.
I'm also open to feedback before the meetup, so if you'd like me to approach a particular area about Avo, please let me know.
https://www.meetup.com/vilniusrb/events/292251284/

What would be a fantastic Avo live demo in 6 minutes?

We need your help with this. I'm getting more and more requests to demo Avo to developers and teams, and I'm not sure what would be the best demo app to build. Preferably it should be a live demo and last 6-9 minutes.
So, if you have any ideas, send us a message or reply to this tweet.

We're working hard on Avo 3

We're working hard on Avo 3. We split Avo into multiple repos, and now we're figuring out how to organize them, so we have a good way to work on them and ship fast as we currently do.

We're probably going to have two paid tiers. First, we'll increase the price of the Pro package from $250 to $350 (so less than two cups of coffee per month) and introduce a new tier worth $450 with all the Pro features plus the new goodies like dynamic filters, dynamic fields, and more.
We'll also move some of the Pro features to the Community tier (free) so more folks can use them and build apps faster.

That's about it for this week.

Thanks for being awesome✌️

Hello buddies,

We have an excellent release for Avo 2 today. 5 new features that I know I have wanted to bring in for a long time, so let's get started

🎸 Features

• Authorization for records reordering
• callable tab names will enable you to use those translation strings on your tab names.
• manually load resources is super handy for those setups that might error out on boot-time. Docs
• find record method. It will enable you to choose how Avo finds a record. Particularly useful if you use something like the prefixed_ids gem or when you change the to_param method. Docs
• dynamic tags field will enable you to create richer dropdowns with AJAX support. Perfect for those action fields. Docs: fetch_values_from option

🐛 Bug Fixes

• VisibleItems view gets wrongly memoized

💡 Refactor

• By default have text fields convert ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8
• add Avo extensions and TestBuddy

Avo 3

Work on Avo 3 is going well. We stopped feature development to ensure we have everything ready for the launch. We'll share some more news next week.

We're putting together a European conference

I'm incredibly excited to share with you Friendly.rb. With a focus on community, we're creating a cozy conference with about 100-ish attendees and some of the best European speakers.
We want to be the perfect blend of learning and relaxation, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere to catch up with your friends or make new ones in person.
The first 30 tickets are discounted as Early Bird (only 13 left).

Xavier Noria and Elena Tănăsoiu are our first confirmed speakers, with a few more to follow.
The CFP is open, so if you want to share your knowledge with the Ruby community, this is the perfect time to apply.

We have limited sponsor spots available, so if you think your company is interested, contact us at [email protected].

This week's Short Ruby is 🔥🔥🔥

All I will say is that I'm starting to block an hour every week to check out all the goodies in Short Ruby.

Yaro is killing it

Hi everyone 👋

I hope everyone had a lovely time with family and friends over the Holidays and New Year's.
It's a shy release today, but we have a few things to show you.

Release notes

🎸 Features
Timezone option callable for date_time and time fields.

🐛 Bug Fixes
JS root path without query param
Resource generator incorrect date_time field fix
Remove select from the count in search

Avo 3.0 updates

Dynamic filters

We started work on a heavy feature; advanced filtering. That will enable dynamic filters that your users can configure on runtime instead of you having to create filter classes for them.
Although having filter classes helps in creating more advanced queries, sometimes you just need a dropdown with the condition and a text field.
Demo: https://share.cleanshot.com/M86c3MGl

Custom controls everywhere

Back in 2022 (so long ago 😛), we introduced show_controls to enable you to customize better the buttons displayed on the show page of a resource.
It allowed to add custom buttons, links, actions, and more.

In Avo 3 you'll have access to edit_controls for the New view, index_controls for the Index page, and row_controls for managing the buttons similarly.
We're excited to see how you will improve the UIs for your users.
Paul has championed this feature from the ground up, which I'm incredibly proud of.
Demo: https://share.cleanshot.com/JJW8jLdb

2022 Avo Survey

We'll hold the survey open for one more week. The answers we received are incredibly helpful and provide us insights into how you see us and where we should improve.

We'll share the results after we close it up, but please, please, fill out this 6-10 minute survey ✌️
https://avohq.io/survey

We're excited about this new year and things to come, and we hope that this year will be better for you too.

Avo 3.0 updates

We're finishing up two more features for Avo 3. Record previews for those field-heavy records and scopes that will enable your users to segment your data better.

2022 Retrospective

We did some digging and figured that Avo had been downloaded about 200.000 times this year and had 62 releases, with one major release every two weeks. We merged about 490 PRs, out of which 190 were bug fixes and about 95 were features, and we had 43 external collaborators.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for contributing to Avo, for pushing us to make it a better product, and for being a part of this fantastic community ❤️

2022 Avo Survey

Now, we'd also like to find out what you think about us, our product, and the future, and we'd like you to fill out our 2022 survey. It should only take 6-10 minutes to get through it.
https://avohq.io/survey

We hope that you have the most pleasant and happy Holidays and the following year will be better for you and your close ones.

Thank you for this incredible ride in 2022!

Work is going well on Avo 3

We worked a lot on the internals these past weeks making it more dependable and maintainable in the long run. Next, we're adding ways to extend the functionality from the outside using plugins.

Nested records on new

We published a new guide on adding nested records on the create view. That was requested a lot from users, and we might support it in Avo 3. Until then you can manually add it using this recipe.
Docs: https://docs.avohq.io/2.0/recipes/nested-records-when-creating.html

Keep the feedback coming

Don't forget to send us your feedback for Avo 3. Let us know your pain points. Also, anytime you have one of those "darn it, it's so difficult to do this in Avo" moments, just write to us.

Breaking changes

You should look out for one breaking change in the upgrade guide. There's an upgrade script too.
https://docs.avohq.io/2.0/upgrade.html#remove-the-params-from-the-visible-block-in-actions

New Export to CSV action in recipes

We've had some talks with users regarding export to CSV. Even though we don't have a first-party feature like that, we made an action that supports column selection.

This week's Short Ruby Newsletter is just a gem! There are many things I didn't know and forgot about, so subscribe!

Yaroslav published a new video about parsing hashtags and mentions from posts, so go check it out.

We're on ruby.social

You may have noticed that quite a few people are migrating from Twitter to ruby.social, so you'll find me there too. So let's connect there, too https://ruby.social/web/@adrian.

We're starting work on Avo 3.0

We'll probably have another Avo 2.0 release in two weeks, but we'll take a break to start work on v3.0. We want to make v3 much more extendable, accessible, and complete.
We have a milestone up on GitHub with some features we're planning to bring in early 2023.
https://github.com/avo-hq/avo/milestone/1

Avo v2 will still receive bug fixes and security upgrades for quite a while now, so don't worry; you won't have to upgrade to stay up to date with security issues. We'll have a nice upgrade path too.
