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.

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. + +Railties +-------- + +Please refer to the [Changelog][railties] for detailed changes. + +### Removals + +* Remove deprecated

The following examples are sufficient to enable the nested model form behavior: - -#### Single associated object - -```ruby -class Person - def address - Address.new - end - - def address_attributes=(attributes) - # ... - end -end -``` - -#### Association collection - -```ruby -class Person - def projects - [Project.new, Project.new] - end - - def projects_attributes=(attributes) - # ... - end -end -``` - -NOTE: See (TODO) in the advanced section for more information on how to deal with the CRUD operations in your custom model. - -Views ------ - -### Controller code - -A nested model form will _only_ be built if the associated object(s) exist. This means that for a new model instance you would probably want to build the associated object(s) first. - -Consider the following typical RESTful controller which will prepare a new Person instance and its `address` and `projects` associations before rendering the `new` template: - -```ruby -class PeopleController < ApplicationController - def new - @person = Person.new - @person.build_address - 2.times { @person.projects.build } - end - - def create - @person = Person.new(params[:person]) - if @person.save - # ... - end - end -end -``` - -NOTE: Obviously the instantiation of the associated object(s) can become tedious and not DRY, so you might want to move that into the model itself. ActiveRecord::Base provides an `after_initialize` callback which is a good way to refactor this. - -### Form code - -Now that you have a model instance, with the appropriate methods and associated object(s), you can start building the nested model form. - -#### Standard form - -Start out with a regular RESTful form: - -```erb -<%= form_for @person do |f| %> - <%= f.text_field :name %> -<% end %> -``` - -This will generate the following html: - -```html -<form action="/people" class="new_person" id="new_person" method="post"> - <input id="person_name" name="person[name]" type="text" /> -</form> -``` - -#### Nested form for a single associated object - -Now add a nested form for the `address` association: - -```erb -<%= form_for @person do |f| %> - <%= f.text_field :name %> - - <%= f.fields_for :address do |af| %> - <%= af.text_field :street %> - <% end %> -<% end %> -``` - -This generates: - -```html -<form action="/people" class="new_person" id="new_person" method="post"> - <input id="person_name" name="person[name]" type="text" /> - - <input id="person_address_attributes_street" name="person[address_attributes][street]" type="text" /> -</form> -``` - -Notice that `fields_for` recognized the `address` as an association for which a nested model form should be built by the way it has namespaced the `name` attribute. - -When this form is posted the Rails parameter parser will construct a hash like the following: - -```ruby -{ - "person" => { - "name" => "Eloy Duran", - "address_attributes" => { - "street" => "Nieuwe Prinsengracht" - } - } -} -``` - -That's it. The controller will simply pass this hash on to the model from the `create` action. The model will then handle building the `address` association for you and automatically save it when the parent (`person`) is saved. - -#### Nested form for a collection of associated objects - -The form code for an association collection is pretty similar to that of a single associated object: - -```erb -<%= form_for @person do |f| %> - <%= f.text_field :name %> - - <%= f.fields_for :projects do |pf| %> - <%= pf.text_field :name %> - <% end %> -<% end %> -``` - -Which generates: - -```html -<form action="/people" class="new_person" id="new_person" method="post"> - <input id="person_name" name="person[name]" type="text" /> - - <input id="person_projects_attributes_0_name" name="person[projects_attributes][0][name]" type="text" /> - <input id="person_projects_attributes_1_name" name="person[projects_attributes][1][name]" type="text" /> -</form> -``` - -As you can see it has generated 2 `project name` inputs, one for each new `project` that was built in the controller's `new` action. Only this time the `name` attribute of the input contains a digit as an extra namespace. This will be parsed by the Rails parameter parser as: - -```ruby -{ - "person" => { - "name" => "Eloy Duran", - "projects_attributes" => { - "0" => { "name" => "Project 1" }, - "1" => { "name" => "Project 2" } - } - } -} -``` - -You can basically see the `projects_attributes` hash as an array of attribute hashes, one for each model instance. - -NOTE: The reason that `fields_for` constructed a hash instead of an array is that it won't work for any form nested deeper than one level deep. - -TIP: You _can_ however pass an array to the writer method generated by `accepts_nested_attributes_for` if you're using plain Ruby or some other API access.

However, if your +application is [RESTful](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer), +some links are in fact actions that change data on the server, and must be +performed with non-GET requests. This attribute allows marking up such links +with an explicit method such as "post", "put" or "delete". + +The way it works is that, when the link is activated, it constructs a hidden form +in the document with the "action" attribute corresponding to "href" value of the +link, and the method corresponding to `data-method` value, and submits that form. + +NOTE: Because submitting forms with HTTP methods other than GET and POST isn't +widely supported across browsers, all other HTTP methods are actually sent over +POST with the intended method indicated in the `_method` parameter. Rails +automatically detects and compensates for this. + +#### `data-url` and `data-params` + +Certain elements of your page aren't actually referring to any URL, but you may want +them to trigger Ajax calls. Specifying the `data-url` attribute along with +the `data-remote` one will trigger an Ajax call to the given URL. You can also +specify extra parameters through the `data-params` attribute. + +This can be useful to trigger an action on check-boxes for instance: + +```html +<input type="checkbox" data-remote="true" + data-url="/update" data-params="id=10" data-method="put"> +``` + +#### `data-type` + +It is also possible to define the Ajax `dataType` explicitly while performing +requests for `data-remote` elements, by way of the `data-type` attribute. + +### Confirmations + +You can ask for an extra confirmation of the user by adding a `data-confirm` +attribute on links and forms. The user will be presented a JavaScript `confirm()` +dialog containing the attribute's text. If the user chooses to cancel, the action +doesn't take place. + +Adding this attribute on links will trigger the dialog on click, and adding it +on forms will trigger it on submit. For example: + +```erb +<%= link_to "Dangerous zone", dangerous_zone_path, + data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %> +``` + +This generates: + +```html +<a href="..." data-confirm="Are you sure?">Dangerous zone</a> +``` + +The attribute is also allowed on form submit buttons. This allows you to customize +the warning message depending on the button which was activated. In this case, +you should **not** have `data-confirm` on the form itself. + +The default confirmation uses a JavaScript confirm dialog, but you can customize +this by listening to the `confirm` event, which is fired just before the confirmation +window appears to the user. To cancel this default confirmation, have the confirm +handler to return `false`. + +### Automatic disabling + +It is also possible to automatically disable an input while the form is submitting +by using the `data-disable-with` attribute. This is to prevent accidental +double-clicks from the user, which could result in duplicate HTTP requests that +the backend may not detect as such. The value of the attribute is the text that will +become the new value of the button in its disabled state. + +This also works for links with `data-method` attribute. + +For example: + +```erb +<%= form_with(model: @article.new) do |f| %> + <%= f.submit data: { "disable-with": "Saving..." } %> +<%= end %> +``` + +This generates a form with: + +```html +<input data-disable-with="Saving..." type="submit"> +``` + +Dealing with Ajax events +------------------------ + +Here are the different events that are fired when you deal with elements +that have a `data-remote` attribute: + +NOTE: All handlers bound to these events are always passed the event object as the +first argument. The table below describes the extra parameters passed after the +event argument. For example, if the extra parameters are listed as `xhr, settings`, +then to access them, you would define your handler with `function(event, xhr, settings)`. + +| Event name | Extra parameters | Fired | +|---------------------|------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| +| `ajax:before` | | Before the whole ajax business, aborts if stopped. | +| `ajax:beforeSend` | xhr, options | Before the request is sent, aborts if stopped. | +| `ajax:send` | xhr | When the request is sent. | +| `ajax:success` | xhr, status, err | After completion, if the response was a success. | +| `ajax:error` | xhr, status, err | After completion, if the response was an error. | +| `ajax:complete` | xhr, status | After the request has been completed, no matter the outcome.| +| `ajax:aborted:file` | elements | If there are non-blank file inputs, aborts if stopped. | + +### Stoppable events + +If you stop `ajax:before` or `ajax:beforeSend` by returning false from the +handler method, the Ajax request will never take place. The `ajax:before` event +is also useful for manipulating form data before serialization. The +`ajax:beforeSend` event is also useful for adding custom request headers. + +If you stop the `ajax:aborted:file` event, the default behavior of allowing the +browser to submit the form via normal means (i.e. non-Ajax submission) will be +canceled and the form will not be submitted at all.
