Book DescriptionThe Ruby on Rails framework boosts productivity by leveraging the convention-over-configuration principle and model-view-controller (MVC) pattern, enabling developers to build features efficiently. This initial simplicity often leads to complexity, making a well-structured codebase difficult to maintain. Written by a seasoned software engineer and award-winning contributor to many other open-source projects, including Ruby on Rails and Ruby, this book will help you keep your code maintainable while working on a Rails app. You’ll get to grips with the framework’s capabilities and principles to harness the full potential of Rails, and tackle many common design problems by discovering useful patterns and abstraction layers. By implementing abstraction and dividing the application into manageable modules, you’ll be able to concentrate on specific parts of the app development without getting overwhelmed by the entire codebase. This also encourages code reuse, simplifying the process of adding new features and enhancing the application's capabilities. Additionally, you’ll explore further steps in scaling Rails codebase, such as service extractions. By the end of this book, you’ll become a code design specialist with a deep understanding of the Rails framework principles.

What you will learn

Get to grips with Rails' core components and its request/response cycle See how Rails' convention-over-configuration principle affects development Explore patterns for software flexibility, extensibility, and testability in Rails Identify and address Rails' anti-patterns for cleaner code Implement design patterns for handling bloated models and messy views Expand from mailers to multi-channel notification deliveries Introduce different authorization models and layers to your codebase Take a class-based approach to configuration in Rails

Who this book is forThis book is for Rails application developers looking to efficiently manage the growing complexity of their projects. Whether you've recently launched your first Rails minimum viable product or are struggling to progress with a sizable monolithic application, this book is here to help. A deep understanding of core Rails principles is a must. Prior experience in building web apps using the Rails framework will help you understand and apply the concepts in the book in a better way.
