Error, a Liverpool-based digital creative studio, has developed two Ruby gems that simplify and quicken developing Ruby apps with Contentful, an open-source content management system. The first gem, `ContentfulModel`, abstracts complexity away by providing a wrapper around Contentful's Ruby client, allowing developers to access remote attributes as if they were database-backed. The second gem, `ContentfulRails`, integrates seamlessly with Rails apps, providing features such as model registration, webhook callbacks, caching of timestamps, and a view helper for parsing Markdown. These gems aim to standardize processes and workflows, reducing the need to reinvent the wheel for each client. They are designed to be lightweight yet powerful, ideal for developing projects that require the power of a content management system without the overhead of a full-fledged CMS. The authors invite developers to join them in developing these gems and contributing to their growth.
