For Rails version < 6 Rails inserts a hidden form input element to make IE 8 and older use UTF8. This gem makes the utf8 enforcer element to be applied only for non-standards-complying browsers.
For Rails 6 the default behaviour does not bloat forms with IE8- specific issues, so this gem is no longer relevant for Rails 6 and forward.
utf8_enforcer_workaround depends on Rails and browser
- Rails 3.x
- Rails 4.x
- Rails 5.x
From Rails 6.0.0 the default behaviour is not to have a hidden tag to enforce utf8 for IE 8 or older, see (https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/96eeea538c9c5b7b60d6f8baed2e86a9e2a920c9). So this gem is not relevant for Rails 6 and upwards.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'utf8_enforcer_workaround'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install utf8_enforcer_workaround
Add this line of code in your ApplicationController:
utf8_enforcer_workaround
Alternatively you can write your own logic in your ApplicationController to decide whether or not to include the utf8 enforcer tag. Here is an example showing the default logic:
before_action do
@utf8_enforcer_tag_enabled = browser.ie?
end
gem install bundler
bundle install
bundle exec appraisal generate
bundle exec appraisal install
bundle exec appraisal rake
Update lib/utf8_enforcer_workaround/version.rb and commit.
Then
git tag v<version>
git tag push --tags
gem build utf8_enforcer_workaround.gemspec
gem push utf8_enforcer_workaround-<version>.gem
