Minimal Ruby Decorator in 30 Minutes

The author needed to add view-related logic to a Teacher model in a Rails project, but couldn't use the draper gem due to version incompatibility. They built a minimal decorator from scratch, initially adding extra behaviors, only to abstract them away later. The post details using Ruby's `method_missing` to handle undefined method calls, and simplifying decorator implementation through inheritance and `SimpleDelegator`. The final result is a clean and efficient decorator, resolving integration issues with default Rails behavior.
