Ruby on Rails

This episode is not what you expected, not what you asked for, and not what you deserve.
Previously, in episode 56, I talked about generating barcodes with gem "Barby" and storing them in ActiveStorage.
But really, why would you want to STORE a programatically generated file (where the result is always the same)? Why not just generate and display it on the client?
Being a Full Stack Ruby on Rails dev requires sometimes venturing into the JS world; acknowledging that it's easier to do some tasks on the client side. This is one of the cases.
