It's now here, in The Programmer's Compendium. The content is the same as before, but being part of the compendium means that it's actively maintained.

Thoughts about Rails Presenters

This is a collection of links, examples and rants about Presenters/Decorators in Rails.

The "Decorator" pattern slowly started gaining popularity in Rails several years ago. It is not part of core Rails, and there's many different interpretations about how it should work in practice.

Jay Fields wrote about it in 2007 (before he switched back to Java and then Clojure): http://blog.jayfields.com/2007/03/rails-presenter-pattern.html

ANNOUNCEMENT

	defmodule DrainStop do
	@moduledoc """
	DrainStop Attempts to gracefully shutdown an endpoint when a normal shutdown
	occurs. It first shuts down the acceptor, ensuring that no new requests can be
	made. It then waits for all pending requests to complete. If the timeout
	expires before this happens, it stops waiting, allowing the supervision tree
	to continue its shutdown order.
