Preload

Allows you to split your ActiveRecord find calls and your eager loading decisions.

Installation

gem install preload

Usage

Now in your controller you don't have to know which associations should be eager loaded because your views need them.

In your controller:

def index
  @posts = blog.posts.order('created_at DESC')
end

in your view:

  <% @posts.pre_load(:comments) %>
  ... render posts and their comments ...

Contributing

1. Fork it
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Added some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create new Pull Request

Releasing a new version

A new version is published to RubyGems.org every time a change to version.rb is pushed to the main branch. In short, follow these steps:

1. Update version.rb,
2. update version in all Gemfile.lock files,
3. merge this change into main, and
4. look at the action for output.

To create a pre-release from a non-main branch:

1. change the version in version.rb to something like 1.2.0.pre.1 or 2.0.0.beta.2,
2. push this change to your branch,
3. go to Actions → “Publish to RubyGems.org” on GitHub,
4. click the “Run workflow” button,
5. pick your branch from a dropdown.
