Faraday
Simple, but flexible HTTP client library, with support for backends
Faraday is an HTTP client library abstraction layer that provides a common interface over many adapters (such as Net::HTTP) and embraces the concept of Rack middleware when processing the request/response cycle. You probably don't want to use Faraday directly in your project, as it will lack an actual client library to perform requests. Instead, you probably want to have a look at Awesome Faraday for a list of available adapters. The best starting point is the Faraday Website, with its introduction and explanation. This library aims to support and is tested against the currently officially supported Ruby implementations. This means that, even without a major release, we could add or drop support for Ruby versions, following their EOL. Currently that means we support Ruby 2.6+. You can also install the faraday_middleware extension gem to access a collection of useful Faraday middleware. -

Mechanize
Mechanize is a ruby library that makes automated web interaction easy
The Mechanize library is used for automating interaction with websites. Mechanize automatically stores and sends cookies, follows redirects, and can follow links and submit forms. Form fields can be populated and submitted. Mechanize also keeps track of the sites that you have visited as a history. This library was heavily influenced by its namesake in the Perl world. Mechanize#transact runs the given block and then resets the page history. I.e. after the block has been executed, you're back at the original page; no need to count how many times to call the back method at the end of a loop (while accounting for possible exceptions). -

Opal jQuery
jQuery for Opal
opal-jquery provides DOM access to opal by wrapping jQuery (or zepto) and providing a nice ruby syntax for dealing with jQuery instances. opal-jquery provides an Element class, whose instances are toll-free bridged instances of jQuery objects. Just like ruby arrays are just javascript arrays, Element instances are just jQuery objects. This makes interaction with jQuery plugins much easier. Also, Element will try to bridge with Zepto if it cannot find jQuery loaded, making it ideal for mobile applications as well. The request is actually triggered inside the HTTP. get method, but due to the async nature of the request, the callback and errback handlers can be added anytime before the request returns. -

Rein
Database constraints made easy for ActiveRecord
Data integrity is a good thing. Constraining the values allowed by your application at the database level, rather than at the application level, is a more robust way of ensuring your data stays sane. Unfortunately, ActiveRecord doesn't encourage (or even allow) you to use database integrity without resorting to hand-crafted SQL. Rein (pronounced "rain") adds a handful of methods to your ActiveRecord migrations so that you can easily tame the data in your database. All methods in the DSL are automatically reversible, so you can take advantage of reversible Rails migrations. -

Resque
Ruby library for creating background jobs and processing them
Resque is a Redis-backed Ruby library for creating background jobs, placing them on multiple queues, and processing them later. Resque (pronounced like "rescue") is a Redis-backed library for creating background jobs, placing those jobs on multiple queues, and processing them later. Background jobs can be any Ruby class or module that responds to perform. Your existing classes can easily be converted to background jobs or you can create new classes specifically to do work. Or, you can do both. Resque is heavily inspired by DelayedJob (which rocks) and comprises three parts, a Ruby library for creating, querying, and processing jobs, a Rake task for starting a worker which processes jobs, a Sinatra app for monitoring queues, jobs, and workers. Resque workers can be distributed between multiple machines, support priorities, are resilient to memory bloat / "leaks," are optimized for REE (but work on MRI and JRuby), tell you what they're doing, and expect failure. -

Stripe Ruby Library
Ruby library for the Stripe API
A Ruby library that enables developers to integrate Stripe’s payment gateway into Ruby applications, streamlining billing, payments, and customer management. -
13
Geocoder
Complete Ruby geocoding solution
Geocoder is a full-featured geocoding library for Ruby that integrates seamlessly with Rails applications. It enables converting addresses into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) and vice versa, known as reverse geocoding. The gem supports multiple geocoding services like Google, Bing, Mapbox, and OpenStreetMap, letting developers choose based on cost or coverage. Beyond simple geocoding, Geocoder can perform IP address lookups, distance queries, and proximity searches directly in ActiveRecord or Mongoid models. With its database integration, you can query for nearby records, order results by distance, or filter results within a radius, making it invaluable for location-based apps. By abstracting away API differences and providing a clean Ruby interface, Geocoder makes geospatial features straightforward to implement in web and mobile projects. -

Pedestal
The Pedestal Server-side Libraries
Pedestal is a set of libraries that we use to build services and applications. It runs in the back end and can serve up whole HTML pages or handle API requests. There are a lot of tools in that space, so why did we build Pedestal? We had two main reasons. Pedestal is designed for APIs first. Most web app frameworks still focus on the "page model" and server-side rendering. Pedestal lets you start simple and add that if you need it. Pedestal makes it easy to create "live" applications. Applications must respond with immediate feedback even while some back-end communication goes on. Pedestal makes it easy to deliver server-sent events and asynchronous updates. Pedestal works with a huge variety of containers and deployment options. Deploy applications or microservices on unikernels, Docker containers, or JAR files. Pedestal supports Tomcat, Jetty, Immutant (with Undertow), Vert.x, nginx, and Netty. -

CanCan
Authorization Gem for Ruby on Rails
CanCan is an authorization library for Ruby on Rails that helps manage user permissions in a clean and consistent way. It centralizes all authorization logic in a single Ability class, where you define what actions each type of user can or cannot perform on different resources. Developers then use helpers like authorize! in controllers or can? in views to enforce those rules without scattering permission logic across the application. It supports defining permissions using conditions, allowing granular access based on attributes like ownership or role. Because it abstracts authorization cleanly, applications stay easier to read, test, and maintain as business rules evolve. Though no longer actively maintained in its original form, CanCan inspired forks and successors (such as CanCanCan) that continue to be widely used in Rails projects. -

Chartkick
Create beautiful JavaScript charts with one line of Ruby
Chartkick is a Ruby gem that makes it easy to generate beautiful charts in Rails and other Ruby applications with minimal code. It provides a high-level API where developers can use simple helpers like line_chart, pie_chart, or column_chart and pass in data arrays or ActiveRecord queries. Under the hood, it works with popular charting libraries such as Google Charts, Chart.js, and Highcharts, but hides their verbose JavaScript APIs behind a clean Ruby interface. It also handles things like automatic labels, legends, colors, and responsiveness without requiring you to manually configure chart options. Because of its integration with ActiveRecord, developers can quickly visualize trends in their application’s data with minimal transformation. Chartkick is especially valued in dashboards, reporting tools, and admin panels where quick, maintainable visualization is needed without heavy front-end development.
