Essential JavaScript Links

I use the Essential JavaScript Links list almost daily. I add to it when I find more links that I think every JS developer should know about. I want to make it easier to scan, and easier for users to suggest new links. We're going to turn it into a proper website, so...

The List has a New Home:

The Essential JavaScript Links List

Please visit there and open an issue if you have any suggestions.

Proposal for Improving Mass Assignment

For a while, I have felt that the following is the correct way to improve the mass assignment problem without increasing the burden on new users. Now that the problem with the Rails default has been brought up again, it's a good time to revisit it.

Sign Allowed Fields

When creating a form with form_for, include a signed token including all of the fields that were created at form creation time. Only these fields are allowed.

To allow new known fields to be added via JS, we could add:

task :glyphs => :environment do
  glyphs = []
  glyphs_hash = {}
  longest_name = 0
  Dir.glob(Rails.root.join("app", "assets", "images", "glyphicons", "*.png")) do |path|
    width, height = `identify -format "%wx%h" #{path}`.strip.split(/x/)
