+ <h3 id="upgrading-to-rails-4.1">1 Upgrading to Rails 4.1</h3><p>If you're upgrading an existing application, it's a great idea to have good test
255
+ coverage before going in. You should also first upgrade to Rails 4.0 in case you
256
+ haven't and make sure your application still runs as expected before attempting
257
+ an update to Rails 4.1. A list of things to watch out for when upgrading is
258
+ available in the
259
+ <a href="upgrading_ruby_on_rails.html#upgrading-from-rails-4-0-to-rails-4-1">Upgrading Ruby on Rails</a>
260
+ guide.</p><h3 id="major-features">2 Major Features</h3><h4 id="spring-application-preloader">2.1 Spring Application Preloader</h4><p>Spring is a Rails application preloader. It speeds up development by keeping
261
+ your application running in the background so you don't need to boot it every
262
+ time you run a test, rake task or migration.</p><p>New Rails 4.1 applications will ship with "springified" binstubs. This means
263
+ that <code>bin/rails</code> and <code>bin/rake</code> will automatically take advantage of preloaded
264
+ spring environments.</p><p><strong>Running rake tasks:</strong></p><div class="code_container">
265
+ <pre class="brush: plain; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
266
+ bin/rake test:models
267
+
268
+ </pre>
269
+ </div>
270
+ <p><strong>Running a Rails command:</strong></p><div class="code_container">
271
+ <pre class="brush: plain; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
272
+ bin/rails console
273
+
274
+ </pre>
275
+ </div>
276
+ <p><strong>Spring introspection:</strong></p><div class="code_container">
277
+ <pre class="brush: plain; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
278
+ $ bin/spring status
279
+ Spring is running:

287
+ <p>Have a look at the
288
+ <a href="https://github.com/rails/spring/blob/master/README.md">Spring README</a> to
289
+ see all available features.</p><p>See the <a href="upgrading_ruby_on_rails.html#spring">Upgrading Ruby on Rails</a>
290
+ guide on how to migrate existing applications to use this feature.</p><h4 id="config/secrets.yml">2.2 <code>config/secrets.yml</code>
291
+ </h4><p>Rails 4.1 generates a new <code>secrets.yml</code> file in the <code>config</code> folder. By default,
292
+ this file contains the application's <code>secret_key_base</code>, but it could also be
293
+ used to store other secrets such as access keys for external APIs.</p><p>The secrets added to this file are accessible via <code>Rails.application.secrets</code>.
294
+ For example, with the following <code>config/secrets.yml</code>:</p><div class="code_container">
295
+ <pre class="brush: plain; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
296
+ development:
297
+ secret_key_base: 3b7cd727ee24e8444053437c36cc66c3
298
+ some_api_key: SOMEKEY
299
+
300
+ </pre>
301
+ </div>
302
+ <p><code>Rails.application.secrets.some_api_key</code> returns <code>SOMEKEY</code> in the development
303
+ environment.</p><p>See the <a href="upgrading_ruby_on_rails.html#config-secrets-yml">Upgrading Ruby on Rails</a>
304
+ guide on how to migrate existing applications to use this feature.</p><h4 id="action-pack-variants">2.3 Action Pack Variants</h4><p>We often want to render different HTML/JSON/XML templates for phones,
305
+ tablets, and desktop browsers. Variants make it easy.</p><p>The request variant is a specialization of the request format, like <code>:tablet</code>,
306
+ <code>:phone</code>, or <code>:desktop</code>.</p><p>You can set the variant in a <code>before_action</code>:</p><div class="code_container">
307
+ <pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
308
+ request.variant = :tablet if request.user_agent =~ /iPad/
309
+
310
+ </pre>
311
+ </div>
312
+ <p>Respond to variants in the action just like you respond to formats:</p><div class="code_container">
313
+ <pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
314
+ respond_to do |format|
315
+ format.html do |html|
316
+ html.tablet # renders app/views/projects/show.html+tablet.erb
317
+ html.phone { extra_setup; render ... }
318
+ end
319
+ end
320
+
321
+ </pre>
322
+ </div>
323
+ <p>Provide separate templates for each format and variant:</p><div class="code_container">
324
+ <pre class="brush: plain; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
325
+ app/views/projects/show.html.erb
326
+ app/views/projects/show.html+tablet.erb
327
+ app/views/projects/show.html+phone.erb
328
+
329
+ </pre>
330
+ </div>
331
+ <p>You can also simplify the variants definition using the inline syntax:</p><div class="code_container">
332
+ <pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
333
+ respond_to do |format|
334
+ format.js { render "trash" }
335
+ format.html.phone { redirect_to progress_path }
336
+ format.html.none { render "trash" }
337
+ end
338
+
339
+ </pre>
340
+ </div>
341
+ <h4 id="action-mailer-previews">2.4 Action Mailer Previews</h4><p>Action Mailer previews provide a way to visually see how emails look by visiting
342
+ a special URL that renders them.</p><p>You implement a preview class whose methods return the mail object you'd like
343
+ to check:</p><div class="code_container">
344
+ <pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
345
+ class NotifierPreview &lt; ActionMailer::Preview
346
+ def welcome
347
+ Notifier.welcome(User.first)
348
+ end
349
+ end
350
+
351
+ </pre>
352
+ </div>
353
+ <p>The preview is available in <a href="http://localhost:3000/rails/mailers/notifier/welcome">http://localhost:3000/rails/mailers/notifier/welcome</a>,
354
+ and a list of them in <a href="http://localhost:3000/rails/mailers">http://localhost:3000/rails/mailers</a>.</p><p>By default, these preview classes live in <code>test/mailers/previews</code>.
355
+ This can be configured using the <code>preview_path</code> option.</p><p>See its
356
+ <a href="http://api.rubyonrails.org/v4.1.0/classes/ActionMailer/Base.html#class-ActionMailer::Base-label-Previewing+emails">documentation</a>
357
+ for a detailed write up.</p><h4 id="active-record-enums">2.5 Active Record enums</h4><p>Declare an enum attribute where the values map to integers in the database, but
358
+ can be queried by name.</p><div class="code_container">
359
+ <pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
360
+ class Conversation &lt; ActiveRecord::Base
361
+ enum status: [ :active, :archived ]
362
+ end
363
+
364

374
+ <p>See its
375
+ <a href="http://api.rubyonrails.org/v4.1.0/classes/ActiveRecord/Enum.html">documentation</a>
376
+ for a detailed write up.</p><h4 id="message-verifiers">2.6 Message Verifiers</h4><p>Message verifiers can be used to generate and verify signed messages. This can
377
+ be useful to safely transport sensitive data like remember-me tokens and
378
+ friends.</p><p>The method <code>Rails.application.message_verifier</code> returns a new message verifier
379
+ that signs messages with a key derived from secret_key_base and the given
380
+ message verifier name:</p><div class="code_container">
381
+ <pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
382
+ signed_token = Rails.application.message_verifier(:remember_me).generate(token)
383
+ Rails.application.message_verifier(:remember_me).verify(signed_token) # =&gt; token
384
+
385
+ Rails.application.message_verifier(:remember_me).verify(tampered_token)
386
+ # raises ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier::InvalidSignature
387
+
388
+ </pre>
389
+ </div>
390
+ <h4 id="module#concerning">2.7 Module#concerning</h4><p>A natural, low-ceremony way to separate responsibilities within a class:</p><div class="code_container">
391
+ <pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
392
+ class Todo &lt; ActiveRecord::Base
393
+ concerning :EventTracking do
394
+ included do
395
+ has_many :events
396
+ end
397
+
398
+ def latest_event
399
+ ...
400
+ end
401
+
402
+ private
403
+ def some_internal_method
404
+ ...
405
+ end
406
+ end
407
+ end
408
+
409
+ </pre>
410
+ </div>
411
+ <p>This example is equivalent to defining a <code>EventTracking</code> module inline,
412
+ extending it with <code>ActiveSupport::Concern</code>, then mixing it in to the
413
+ <code>Todo</code> class.</p><p>See its
414
+ <a href="http://api.rubyonrails.org/v4.1.0/classes/Module/Concerning.html">documentation</a>
415
+ for a detailed write up and the intended use cases.</p><h4 id="csrf-protection-from-remote-&lt;script&gt;-tags">2.8 CSRF protection from remote <code>&lt;script&gt;</code> tags</h4><p>Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection now covers GET requests with
416
+ JavaScript responses, too. That prevents a third-party site from referencing
417
+ your JavaScript URL and attempting to run it to extract sensitive data.</p><p>This means any of your tests that hit <code>.js</code> URLs will now fail CSRF protection
418
+ unless they use <code>xhr</code>. Upgrade your tests to be explicit about expecting
419
+ XmlHttpRequests. Instead of <code>post :create, format: :js</code>, switch to the explicit
420
+ <code>xhr :post, :create, format: :js</code>.</p><h3 id="railties">3 Railties</h3><p>Please refer to the
421
+ <a href="https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/4-1-stable/railties/CHANGELOG.md">Changelog</a>

604

615
