Rails Designer v1.4 introduces: Beautiful Layouts for Your Rails App

As promised last week: a new release that introduces something completely new: Layouts for Your Rails App! 🥳

A layout is a template that wraps around a view, providing a common structure and shared HTML elements for multiple screens. The default layout is application.html.erb.

Layouts were something I wanted to add since the beginning. In fact: the generator has always been there in Rails Designer and I had multiple dozen of you ask me about it. 😅

I'm pushing this release with three authentication variants for starters. Love to hear your thoughts and ideas (and bugs? 🫣) about this.

It's so new I haven't had the time to add previews to site. So go update Rails Designer today!

Besides layouts there are a few more things in this release. 👇

(Note: there was a bug in 1.4.0 that prevented building the gem, so the latest is now 1.4.1)
