repository on GitHub.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upgrading to Rails 5.1
----------------------
If you're upgrading an existing application, it's a great idea to have good test
coverage before going in. You should also first upgrade to Rails 5.0 in case you
haven't and make sure your application still runs as expected before attempting
an update to Rails 5.1. A list of things to watch out for when upgrading is
available in the
[Upgrading Ruby on Rails](upgrading_ruby_on_rails.html#upgrading-from-rails-5-0-to-rails-5-1)
guide.
Major Features
--------------
### Yarn Support
[Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/26836)
Rails 5.1 allows managing JavaScript dependencies
from NPM via Yarn. This will make it easy to use libraries like React, VueJS
or any other library from NPM world. The Yarn support is integrated with
the asset pipeline so that all dependencies will work seamlessly with the
Rails 5.1 app.
### Optional Webpack support
[Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/27288)
Rails apps can integrate with [Webpack](https://webpack.js.org/), a JavaScript
asset bundler, more easily using the new [Webpacker](https://github.com/rails/webpacker)
gem. Use the `--webpack` flag when generating new applications to enable Webpack
integration.
This is fully compatible with the asset pipeline, which you can continue to use for
images, fonts, sounds, and other assets. You can even have some JavaScript code
managed by the asset pipeline, and other code processed via Webpack. All of this is managed
by Yarn, which is enabled by default.
### jQuery no longer a default dependency
[Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/27113)
jQuery was required by default in earlier versions of Rails to provide features
like `data-remote`, `data-confirm` and other parts of Rails' Unobtrusive JavaScript
offerings. It is no longer required, as the UJS has been rewritten to use plain,
vanilla JavaScript. This code now ships inside of Action View as
`rails-ujs`.
You can still use jQuery if needed, but it is no longer required by default.
### System tests
[Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/26703)
Rails 5.1 has baked-in support for writing Capybara tests, in the form of
System tests. You no longer need to worry about configuring Capybara and
database cleaning strategies for such tests. Rails 5.1 provides a wrapper
for running tests in Chrome with additional features such as failure
screenshots.
### Encrypted secrets
[Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/28038)
Rails now allows management of application secrets in a secure way,
inspired by the [sekrets](https://github.com/ahoward/sekrets) gem.
Run `bin/rails secrets:setup` to setup a new encrypted secrets file. This will
also generate a master key, which must be stored outside of the repository. The
secrets themselves can then be safely checked into the revision control system,
in an encrypted form.
Secrets will be decrypted in production, using a key stored either in the
`RAILS_MASTER_KEY` environment variable, or in a key file.
### Parameterized mailers
[Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/27825)
Allows specifying common parameters used for all methods in a mailer class in
order to share instance variables, headers and other common setup.
``` ruby
class InvitationsMailer < ApplicationMailer
before_action { @inviter, @invitee = params[:inviter], params[:invitee] }
before_action { @account = params[:inviter].account }
def account_invitation
mail subject: "#{@inviter.name} invited you to their Basecamp (#{@account.name})"
end
end
InvitationsMailer.with(inviter: person_a, invitee: person_b)
.account_invitation.deliver_later
```
### Direct & resolved routes
[Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/23138)
Rails 5.1 adds two new methods, `resolve` and `direct`, to the routing
DSL. The `resolve` method allows customizing polymorphic mapping of models.
``` ruby
resource :basket
resolve("Basket") { [:basket] }
```
``` erb
<%= form_for @basket do |form| %>
<!-- basket form -->
<% end %>
```
This will generate the singular URL `/basket` instead of the usual `/baskets/:id`.
The `direct` method allows creation of custom URL helpers.
``` ruby
direct(:homepage) { "http://www.rubyonrails.org" }
>> homepage_url
=> "http://www.rubyonrails.org"
```
The return value of the block must be a valid argument for the `url_for`
method. So, you can pass a valid string URL, Hash, Array, an
Active Model instance, or an Active Model class.
``` ruby
direct :commentable do |model|
[ model, anchor: model.dom_id ]
end
direct :main do
{ controller: 'pages', action: 'index', subdomain: 'www' }
end
```
### Unification of form_for and form_tag into form_with
[Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/26976)
Before Rails 5.1, there were two interfaces for handling HTML forms:
`form_for` for model instances and `form_tag` for custom URLs.
Rails 5.1 combines both of these interfaces with `form_with`, and
can generate form tags based on URLs, scopes or models.
Using just a URL:
``` erb
<%= form_with url: posts_path do |form| %>
<%= form.text_field :title %>
<% end %>
<%# Will generate %>
<form action="/posts" method="post" data-remote="true">
<input type="text" name="title">
</form>
```
Adding a scope prefixes the input field names:
``` erb
<%= form_with scope: :post, url: posts_path do |form| %>
<%= form.text_field :title %>
<% end %>
<%# Will generate %>
<form action="/posts" method="post" data-remote="true">
<input type="text" name="post[title]">
</form>
```
Using a model infers both the URL and scope:
``` erb
<%= form_with model: Post.new do |form| %>
<%= form.text_field :title %>
<% end %>
<%# Will generate %>
<form action="/posts" method="post" data-remote="true">
<input type="text" name="post[title]">
</form>
```
An existing model makes an update form and fills out field values:
``` erb
<%= form_with model: Post.first do |form| %>
<%= form.text_field :title %>
<% end %>
<%# Will generate %>
<form action="/posts/1" method="post" data-remote="true">
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="patch">
<input type="text" name="post[title]" value="<the title of the post>">
</form>
```
Incompatibilities
-----------------
The following changes may require immediate action upon upgrade.
### Transactional tests with multiple connections
Transactional tests now wrap all Active Record connections in database
transactions.
When a test spawns additional threads, and those threads obtain database
connections, those connections are now handled specially:
The threads will share a single connection, which is inside the managed
transaction. This ensures all threads see the database in the same
state, ignoring the outermost transaction. Previously, such additional
connections were unable to see the fixture rows, for example.
When a thread enters a nested transaction, it will temporarily obtain
exclusive use of the connection, to maintain isolation.
If your tests currently rely on obtaining a separate,
outside-of-transaction, connection in a spawned thread, you'll need to
switch to more explicit connection management.
If your tests spawn threads and those threads interact while also using
explicit database transactions, this change may introduce a deadlock.
The easy way to opt out of this new behavior is to disable transactional
tests on any test cases it affects.
