Installing Ruby on Rails on OS X 10.10 Yosemite

By -
This post will help you setup Ruby on Rails for OS X 10.10 Yosemite. This setup is also compatible for older versions of OS X.

Installing Homebrew

Homebrew helps us to install and compile software packages from the source. Open your terminal and type the following command:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Installing Ruby

Once homebrew is finished installing, we can proceed to install Ruby. For now we will be using rbenv to install and manage our ruby versions. To do the following, type the following command in your terminal:

brew install rbenv ruby-build

# Add rbenv to bash so that it loads every time you open a terminal

echo 'if which rbenv > /dev/null; then eval "$(rbenv init -)"; fi' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile

# Install Ruby 2.1.5 and set it as the default version

rbenv install 2.1.5
rbenv global 2.1.5

ruby -v
# ruby 2.1.5

Installing Rails

Once Ruby is configured, we can start to install rails. Type the following command in your terminal: 
gem install rails

rbenv rehash

rails -v
# rails 4.1.8

Inserting and Moving elements inside Ruby Array

By -
Here's is an array with 5 elements 2.1.2 :001 > arr = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"] => ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"] Lets look at few different cases Insert a new element at starting position Using unshift 2.1.2 :002 > arr.unshift("f") => ["f", "a", "b", "c", "d", "e"] Using insert 2.1.2 :005 > arr.insert(0, "f") => ["f", "a", "b", "c", "d", "e"] In the above example 0 is the position(index) Move existing element from one position to another The element in this case is "e" Using uniq to show only unique elements 2.1.2 :009 > arr.insert(0, "e").uniq => ["e", "a", "b", "c", "d"] With uniq we are only showing unique records but the element is listed

Remove duplicates from a JavaScript Array

By -
In JavaScript, you may combine the indexOf() method and the filter() method to get rid of duplicates from an array function removeDuplicates(arr) { return arr.filter((el, index) => arr.indexOf(el) === index); } let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5]; let uniqueNumbers = removeDuplicates(numbers); console.log(uniqueNumbers); // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] The removeDuplicates() function in this code accepts an array as an argument and produces a new array that is empty of duplicates. This is accomplished by creating a new array with the filter() method that only contains elements that are unique within the original array. A callback function is provided as an argument to the filter() method, which is used to filter each element of the array. By comparing the current element's index to the output of executing indexOf() on the original array, the callback function determines if the current element exists only once in the array. The element is added to the new array if the two indices a

Difference between Validations, Callbacks and Observers

By -
Validations allow you to ensure that only valid data is stored in your database. Example: validates_presence_of :user_name, :password validates_numericality_of :value We can write custom validation also as def validate   errors.add(:price, “should be a positive value”) if price.nil?|| price < 0.01 end Callbacks and observers allow you to trigger logic before or after an alteration of an object’s state. Callbacks are methods that get called at certain moments of an object’s life cycle. With callbacks it’s possible to write code that will run whenever an Active Record object is created, saved, updated, deleted, validated, or loaded from the database. Callbacks are hooks into the life cycle of an Active Record object that allow you to trigger logic before or after an alteration of the object state. This can be used to make sure that associated and dependent objects are deleted when destroy is called (by overwriting before_destroy) or to massage attribu
