if we are using tailwindcss-rails gem we don't need cssbundling-rails gem because tailwindcss-rails gem is a standalone version of Tailwind CSS that integrates with rails asset pipeline. It's a simpler and more direct alternative for rails applications because it doesn't require Node.js at all.

.abs method in Ruby is used to return the absolute value of a number. The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero, regardless of direction. In other words, it's the number without its sign.

Gestalt Principles:
It explains how humans perceive visual aspects and how the human brain creates order from chaos. The human brain organizes and simplifies complicated visuals composed of numerous components into a single entire system. Humans will look for patterns and structure to create an image rather than seeing distinct, separate components.

Some Gestalt Principles are as follows:

1. Similarity:
when two elements appear to be similar, we group them together. We also prefer to believe they serve the same purpose.
Elements with similar shapes, sizes, color's, or orientations are believed to be related.

2. Proximity:
The elements that are close together appear to be more linked than things that are farther apart.

3. Closure:
When there are gaps or missing portions, our brain fills in the gaps to perceive a full shape or entity.

4. Focal point:
Visual elements that stand out will catch and hold the viewer's attention right away.

5. Invariance:
People can distinguish objects regardless of their shape, rotation, or scale.

6. Continuity:
Elements placed on a line or curve appear to be more connected than elements not arranged on a line or curve.

If we import a server component inside a client component, it will be treated as a client component but if we pass a server component to a client component as a child prop, it will not be converted to the client component and will be treated as a server component. This gives more granular control on what to show at what component. Composable child components will still be treated as client components as it is not passed as a child to the client component.

while upgrading your rails api only app to support html views , make sure to run rails assets:precompile in your local so that your assets are served properly and also make sure your assets are properly linked in assets/configs/manifest.js , or the process will be aborted.

while updating ruby version in an existing app, make sure to also update the ruby version in your Dockerfile, or else it will cause build failure.

while creating rubocop github action , we need to add two flags:
