SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Encapsulates business logic in Rails by organizing module-namespaced service classes that inherit from a shared Base, ensuring controllers stay thin and all domain logic is centralized in app/services/.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Module-namespaced services under a single pattern (e.g., WidgetService) with separate Create, Update, Destroy, Show, Index classes.
  • Base class provides standardized error handling, OpenStruct responses, and I18n integration; controllers delegate to services.
  • Use cases include CRUD workflows, complex business logic, and transactional operations that require consistent serialization.

Quick Start

Create a WidgetService::Create with your params and call it to perform a new widget creation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I encapsulate business logic in Rails to keep controllers thin?▼

Encapsulate business logic in Rails by organizing module-namespaced service classes that inherit from a shared Base, ensuring controllers delegate domain workflows to app/services and remain thin.

What is the best way to structure Rails service objects for CRUD operations?▼

Structure Rails service objects by grouping module-namespaced classes like Create, Update, Destroy, Show, and Index under a single domain pattern, all inheriting from a shared Base class for consistent behavior.

How does chainable method calling work with Rails service objects?▼

Chainable method calling in Rails service objects allows controllers to execute domain workflows sequentially, returning deterministic OpenStruct responses that include structured data, errors, and localized I18n messages.

Do I need a repository layer to use Rails service objects?▼

Yes, the Rails service object pattern depends on a repository layer for data access, working in tandem with ActiveRecord models to centralize persistence logic away from the service classes.

How do I handle error messages and serialization in Rails service objects?▼

Handle error messages and serialization in Rails service objects by using a shared Base class that provides standardized error handling, integrates I18n for localized messages, and returns deterministic OpenStruct responses.
