It’s finally time for another Open Source Status Update! This one’s different as it covers last three months. Due to pandemic situation and having my kids at home, including online schooling, it was really difficult to do any OSS hacking. We’ve got some things done regardless in March and April thanks to support from our contributors, so I also would like to use this as an opportunity to thank you all for your help! ...
It’s time for my second Open Source Update :) This one covers March 2020. As you can probably imagine, last few weeks were very challenging due to pandemic. I tried to push things forward regardless but I didn’t manage to accomplish everything I planned. dry-schema & dry-validation 1.5.0 You can read the official announcement right here. I’m very happy with both releases, especially that they brought many new features that a couple of years ago would be really hard to implement, but now it was relatively easy to achieve. The schema composition feature is a good example of this, even though it’s marked as experimental and not all details are fleshed out yet (like error message format for exlusive disjunctions), what already works is an advanced piece of functionality! ...
Inspired by Samuel Williams` “Open Source Progress Report” I decided to start doing the same thing and so this is the first Open Source Status Update from me. I hope to make this a habit and who knows maybe I’ll even start blogging on a regular basis again 🤞🏻 I’ll summarize my work between September 2019 and February 2020. Overall these were extremely productive 5 months. Apart from the regular maintainance (PR reviews, handling releases, providing user support etc.) I focused mostly on improving documentation infrastructure for dry-rb and rom-rb projects, as well as spent a lot of time on building tools to automate certain parts of the maintenance work. ...
Two years ago (!!!) I published a post on discourse.dry-rb.org explaining my plans for dry-validation 1.0.0 and in this post I mentioned that there will be a new gem called dry-schema that dry-validation will use for its schemas. It’s crazy how time flies because I swear I thought it was last year. I know that over this time dry-validation has been accumulating a lot of issues (125 in the moment of writing this article), and I know it sucks, big time, that I didn’t have a chance to address any of these. ...
