Custom Thumbnail Pagination on SlidesJS:

Custom Thumbnails on Slidesjs Pagination

Out of the box, SlidesJS does not provide the ability to add custom pagination. Although I love slides (it's my go-to for simple sliders), on a recent project I needed to ability to have small thumbnails for pagination.

With the simple addition of two attributes to the images and code the loaded callback for Slides, thumbnail pagination is possible (and simple).

Promises in Rails callbacks, using after_save and after_commit together.

"Russian-Doll Caching" is great. It embraces the Rails (and Ruby) goal to "make the developer happy". And it does. Not having to worry about cache expiration is superb.

It has its limits, though. If you're trying to avoid any database queries, russian-doll caching will not work for you. If you are trying to represent thousands, or even hundreds, of objects under a single cache fragment, russian-doll caching is not the best option.

We use it whenever it makes sense, but sometimes we just have to bite the bullet and expire a cache fragment manually. When you want to start manually expiring cache on a fairly busy website, you have to start considering race conditions. I recently ran into the following scenario:

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  after_save :expire_cache

Simple watermarking with Thumbkit and CarrierWave
class MyUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
include Thumbkit::Adapters::CarrierWave
# Watermark should always be processed after thumbkit, ensuring that we always
# have a valid image and we don't need to change the extension
def watermark(watermark_image, options = {})
cache_stored_file! if !cached?
Watermarker.new(current_path, watermark_image).watermark!(options)
end
