It took many weeks of deliberations and discussions, followed by three beta releases, to
finally release Ruby on Rails 5 and was a huge release from the Ruby on Rails community,
considering that it came after a gap of three years, after Ruby on Rails 4.2 was released. This
was about six months ago and the excitement of its highly impressive features and
distinctive modifications is yet to die down.
If you are not too familiar with Ruby on Rails, here goes a tiny brief from a leading
customized web development company in mumbai like us.. Ruby on Rails is a 10 year old
web development framework. Companies like GitHub, AirBnB and Hulu have used this
versatile framework to run their websites.
Rails, as it is commonly known as, is a powerful framework and is highly capable of
managing any number of tasks simultaneously without any hassle. It is a web developer’s
dream framework due to its easy-to- learn quality and features that help to build apps, apart
from the fact that it is fun to use.
So what’s new?
Rails 5 has incorporated a host of changes, big and small.
Rails makes use of Puma as its default web server, replacing Webrick
Rails now has a brand new welcome screen and logo which is seen when you create
your first app
It now has fresh built-in helper modes like “on_weekend” or “on_weekday” to check
if a particular day falls on a weekend or a weekday.
The upgraded Turbolinks 5 is touted to load pages at higher speeds
We are one of the best logo designer in mumbai and are excited to see these changes too.
Did we tell you that ActionCable adds many fresh features to Rails like Websockets which in
keeping open connections between the server and the user. It helps developers to transmit
data from the Rails server to all connected users and update all that is visible in their
browsers.
