Greetings,

I hope someone is still interested in what’s going on with Draper.

I’ve already shared my thoughts on its further development while replying to some issues. It would be great to start a discussion sharing them here too.

At first, I was eager to develop Draper and bring it back to life, but I don’t see it viable for now. The reasons are:

~~Me and @y-yagi, being the only active maintainers for now, don’t have access to RubyGems.org to publish new releases. That’s why the last one was published as a Git branch.~~
I consider refactoring Draper a better way than fixing a ton of bugs here and their, caused by it’s architecture. The new version would unlikely be fully backwards compatible and would require a major release.
Every PR requires a code review. It’s OK for the small ones, but we need more active maintainers to review and discuss that big ones.

That’s why I came to rewriting Draper from scratch on my own and splitting it into several libs:

SimpleDelegator from the standard library is the base.
Magic Lookup for the generic class inference.
Magic Decorator for generic decorators.
Magic Presenter for Rails presenters / view models.

They do virtually all the Draper does and more.

Draper still actively maintained? #921
