...so I was looking up how to do simple, secure authentication in Rails for my super secret project which you definitely can't find by looking at recent activity on my [GitHub account] (Hail [Mammon][[0][zero]]) and realized that I hadn't implemented authentication in Rails in a long time. The closest I'd come to was throwing [Devise] into my app and grumpily remembering to configure the mailer after the fact.

This will seem unrelated, but bear with me: I learned how to calculate interest rates on loans in something like 6th grade. I have since forgotten how to do that without assistance. Much like how I would have been much better prepared to choose a mortgage back then, I would in some ways be much better prepared to figure out authentication a few years ago when I was just starting out in web dev - and had just implemented it from the [Hartl tutorial]. That said, just like how I now know more of what I'm looking for

This is a quick tutorial explaining how to get a static website hosted on Heroku.

Why do this?

Heroku hosts apps on the internet, not static websites. To get it to run your static portfolio, personal blog, etc., you need to trick Heroku into thinking your website is a PHP app. This 6-step tutorial will teach you how.

Basic Assumptions

dhh

# config/routes.rb
resources :documents do
  scope module: 'documents' do
    resources :versions do
      post :restore, on: :member
    end

    resource :lock
  end
end

# The BootstrapBreadcrumbsBuilder is a Bootstrap compatible breadcrumb builder.
# It provides basic functionalities to render a breadcrumb navigation according to Bootstrap's conventions.
#
# BootstrapBreadcrumbsBuilder accepts a limited set of options:
# * separator: what should be displayed as a separator between elements
#
# You can use it with the :builder option on render_breadcrumbs:
#     <%= render_breadcrumbs :builder => ::BootstrapBreadcrumbsBuilder, :separator => "&raquo;" %>
#
# Note: You may need to adjust the autoload_paths in your config/application.rb file for rails to load this class:

dhh

# autoload concerns
module YourApp
  class Application < Rails::Application
    config.autoload_paths += %W(
      #{config.root}/app/controllers/concerns
      #{config.root}/app/models/concerns
    )
  end
end
