Some questions to get discussion on Draper

[samnang]

Hi @codereading/readers,

As most members interested in Draper, so now all members could start some discussions here. I have came up with a couple questions to get discussion started:

1. Why do you use Draper gem in your rails app?
2. What is presenter pattern? decorator pattern? and different between these two?
3. What are possible implementation of presenter pattern and decorator pattern in Ruby?
4. What are advantages to decide to build presenters from scratch over using Draper gem?

thanks @samnang for forking the project and getting this setup. Some great questions to get started. I havent used a presenter/decorator in any of rails apps but am aware of the pattern.

There is a great introduction to the topic over on railscasts. There are two epsiodes. One where ryanbates actually creates his own simple presenter. The other covers draper.

Both are free.

Ill start looking over the source.

@RoboDisco and @codereading/readers We have been quiet for a while, so what do you think if we have a hangout at this weekend on Draper gem? or just gathering together for fun and know each other?
