The `use_helpers` method was added in ViewComponent 3.8.0, and it's
included by default in all components since version 3.11.0.
Note we sometimes delegated the `can?` method to the controller instead
of the helpers, for no particularly reason. We're unifying that code as
well.
For the HashAlignment rule, we're using the default `key` style (keys
are aligned and values aren't) instead of the `table` style (both keys
and values are aligned) because, even if we used both in the
application, we used the `key` style a lot more. Furthermore, the
`table` style looks strange in places where there are both very long and
very short keys and sometimes we weren't even consistent with the
`table` style, aligning some keys without aligning other keys.
Ideally we could align hashes to "either key or table", so developers
can decide whether keeping the symmetry of the code is worth it in a
case-per-case basis, but Rubocop doesn't allow this option.
We were executing SQL queries searching for translations even for
records which were not persisted in the database and therefore had no
translations.
So we're now only looking for translations when the record is persisted.
Note that, when the record isn't persisted, we're using `I18n.translate`
instead of the `t` method. That's because the `t` method would also
perform database queries since we overwrite the `t` method in the
`i18n_translation` initializer.
On tabs with many records, like the proposals tab, requests are now up
to three times faster on production environments.
Tests related to this part of the application were failing sometimes
because requests took longer than `Capybara.default_max_wait_time`.
After these changes, the custom information texts pages load about 30%
faster when running the tests.
This way it's easier to test; changing it will also be easier.
During my experiments I made a mistake which wasn't covered by the test
suite. We're adding a test for this case.
Note we're using `i18n_content` in the component instead of `content`
because there's already a `content` method provided by ViewComponent.
