Form Objects
Models have a tendency to become a complex mess as an application grows. In this episode you will learn a couple of techniques to extract form-behavior out into its own class.
(18 minutes)
Service Objects
Models can quickly become a grab-bag of unrelated methods if behavior is constantly being pushed from the controller. Here I show how to refactor this using Concerns and Service Objects.
(12 minutes)
Authorization from Scratch Part 2
This finishes the series on building authorization from scratch by refactoring the permission logic into a DSL, restricting authorization with attributes, and combining with strong_parameters to protect params.
(20 minutes)
Authorization from Scratch Part 1
Authorization can be difficult to implement and test because it often involves complex logic that exists throughout the entire app. Here I demonstrate how to test and implement authorization from scratch.
(15 minutes)
OAuth with Doorkeeper
Doorkeeper makes it easy to create an OAuth 2 provider. This episode also shows how to setup OmniAuth as an OAuth client and use the oauth2 gem to communicate with an API.
(19 minutes)
Rails Middleware Walkthrough
Here I describe each Rack middleware that is included in a Rails app which will give you a better understanding of what a request goes through behind the scenes before it hits your application.
(14 minutes)
Adding SSL
It is important to protect a user's private information with HTTPS. Here you will learn how to get it working on your local machine, configure Rack SSL, install certificates for production, and more.
(14 minutes)
Rails Modularity
Rails is a modular framework allowing you to include only what you need. Here I show how the smallest Rails app works, and then I take a look at how to whittle down a full Rails application stack.
(13 minutes)
Authentication with Warden
Warden makes it easy to move authentication up into Rack middleware. This means authentication can be accessed outside of a Rails controller such as in routes or in a mountable engine.
