dhh-rails-style

Apply DHH Rails style by refactoring controllers into RESTful resources, moving state into dedicated models, and colocating authorization logic on the User model to reduce cognitive overhead and align code with domain-driven patterns.

Organize fat models and thin controllers in Ruby on Rails by adopting RESTful architecture and using model concerns for horizontal reuse. This style moves shared behavior into concerns and manages lifecycle events through a state-as-records approach.

Use Minitest and fixtures for Rails conventions to ensure deterministic behavior across applications. This testing approach aligns with DHH/37signals style, providing coherent and opinionated rules for code reviews and organization.

Use model concerns for horizontal reuse in Rails when extracting shared behavior across multiple rich domain models. This pattern reduces code duplication and keeps models clean while adhering to DHH coding style conventions.

This Rails coding style requires lightweight frontend patterns across controllers, models, and views. It focuses on a state-as-records approach for lifecycle events and auditing, ensuring clear code organization without heavy frontend frameworks.
