The title says it all.
From what I can tell, “temporary assigns” was the old way of rendering collections without needing to keep them all in-memory. But this isn’t necessary anymore, because we can now do it with streams.
Is there any use case where I might still want to use temporary assigns, or have they been completely superseded by streams?
It can still be useful for heavy objects that you don’t want to keep in memory.
One example: I have an account screen that loads up a ton of associations on an account to build out a dashboard, but I don’t need all the associated data to remain in memory, so I keep the non-preloaded account in temporary assigns.
