Setup an Admin Dashboard and Improve Searches | Ruby On Rails For Beginners Part 7

Using Devise, we'll create user roles for normal users and admin users by creating an enum. We'll then use this to create a dashboard where we avoid N+1 queries by using the .includes method. We also fix the Ransack gem searching issue after we move the post body from a regular text to an Action Text body. This allows us to search the Action Text body.

Hopefully this ends up being helpful. I was trying to cover a gem for the dashboard, but they are all in such a state right now when it comes to supporting Action Text that I decided it'd be better for us to cover creating our own solution. :) We also fix a bunch of stuff, talk about N+1 queries (blowing up the database)

Hey Deanin, thanks for another great vid. Not sure if you already covered how to hide credentials/API keys on Rails and the best way to do it, before deploying the project. Just a video suggestion.

[@Deanin]

I'll add it to the list! Should be a quick but very useful tutorial, so thank you for the suggestion :)
If you need to do this right now, I recently did a video on pushing a chat room to Heroku that used the Rails Encrypted Credentials system to hide credentials for the production server.
Should be about 4:47 into the video. I change the DB to postgres and setup its environment variables for use in production.

@@Deanin Thanks! I'll check it out

[@Deanin]

@@randerins I think in the video I used VS code as the editor, if you'd prefer to use Nano or Vim, the command becomes:
EDITOR=nano rails credentials:edit

[@salvadoraguirre8689]

In the routes.rb file, where does the authenticated method comes from? From devise? If I'm in another project and I do not use devise, how can handle that?

[@MrMrbannanapants]

Hey, I'm confused as to how we still have a link to the body even though when I open our schema there is no reference to it. If we remove the body column, how can we create a new post with a body field?

[@Deanin]

It's been a while since I've done this video so I don't entirely remember what I did, but chances are I used a "has_rich_text :body" in the model. That does a bit of magic under the hood that causes the model to still have a body column. I'm not a fan of it doing the magic personally because I think it would be much more clear if you had to define it yourself, but that's _probably_ what I did here. Sorry for the confusion.
