amatsuda/jb

This system is a Ruby gem that provides a custom template handler for rendering JSON responses using .jb files within Rails applications. It integrates with Action View to convert Ruby templates into JSON, supporting both standard and API-only controllers across multiple Rails versions. The project includes a self-contained dummy Rails application used for testing compatibility, benchmarking performance against alternatives like Jbuilder, and validating rendering behaviors.

Rails scaffolding now supports generating JSON responses using the JSON Builder (jb) format. A new JbGenerator creates .jb template files for index and show actions, and the standard scaffold controller generator includes this generator by default, allowing users to quickly scaffold controllers that return JSON data structured via JSON Builder.

This change introduces the jb gem, a simple template handler that allows developers to write Ruby templates (with the .jb extension) that automatically render as JSON. The implementation registers a custom Action View template handler that converts template output to JSON, with specific monkey-patches to ensure compatibility across Rails 5, 6, and 7.1+ versions. Key behaviors include defaulting the output format to JSON, handling partial collections correctly by returning arrays instead of strings, and ensuring API-mode controllers can utilize the handler. The gem version is set to 0.8.2.

A new gemfile (gemfiles/benchmark.gemfile) has been introduced to isolate dependencies required for benchmarking tasks. This file explicitly includes 'rake', 'rails', 'jbuilder', 'benchmark-ips', and 'action\_args', allowing performance testing to run with a specific, self-contained set of gems separate from the main application's dependencies.

The Jb library now explicitly requires its version file and loads the Jb Railtie during initialization. This change ensures that the library properly integrates with the Rails framework, allowing for automatic configuration and hooks within Rails applications.

A new bin/benchmark.sh script has been added to facilitate benchmarking on a real Rails app by executing a benchmark script within a dummy application context using a specific benchmark gemfile. Additionally, the bin/console script now enforces strict literal syntax checking via a frozen\_string\_literal pragma.

Added JSON template views for posts and comments; Added base helper and mailer classes to the dummy Rails application; Added dummy Rails application for plugin testing and benchmarking; Added dummy Rails controllers for testing and benchmarking; Added integration tests for JSON rendering and API support; Added test fixture for partial rendering; Added test fixtures for User, Post, and Comment models; Added test infrastructure for the dummy Rails application; Added tests for ActionController::API support; Migrate test suite from Minitest to Test::Unit.

The project updates its development dependencies by removing pinned versions for bundler and rake, switching the test framework from minitest to test-unit-rails, and adding rails, action\_args, debug, and selenium-webdriver as dev dependencies. Runtime constraints are added to the Gemfile to support specific Ruby versions, including conditional requirements for nokogiri, loofah, net-smtp, bigdecimal, and mutex\_m, as well as support for testing against the Rails main branch via an environment variable.
