Apr 1, 2025April 2025 monthly summary for primer/view_components. Delivered UX-enhancing validation and modernized the repository to align with current Ruby/Rails versions. Implemented Auto-check-element Validation on Blur for Component v6, shifting validation from keystroke to on-blur triggers and updating system tests to verify blur-triggered validation. Completed Ruby/Rails compatibility and CI upgrades to support newer Ruby/Rails, dropped legacy versions, upgraded Rails compatibility to 8.0.2, and addressed warnings by bumping dev/runtime dependencies. These changes reduce maintenance risk, improve user data integrity on forms, and position the project for Rails 8+ ecosystems.
