Use Components to Improve Maintainability, Reduce Complexity, and
Accelerate Testing in Large Rails Applications
"This book gives Ruby pros a comprehensive guide for increasing the
sophistication of their designs, without having to forsake the
principles of elegance that keep them in our corner of the software
world."
-Obie Fernandez, author, The RailsTM 5 Way, Fourth Edition
As Rails applications grow, even experienced developers find it
difficult to navigate code bases, implement new features, and keep tests
fast. Components are the solution, and Component-Based Rails
Applications shows how to make the most of them.
Writing for programmers and software team leads who are comfortable with
Ruby and Rails, Stephan Hagemann introduces a practical, start-to-finish
methodology for modernizing and restructuring existing Rails
applications.
One step at a time, Hagemann demonstrates how to revamp Rails
applications to exhibit visible, provably independent, and explicitly
connected parts-thereby simplifying them and making them far easier for
teams to manage, change, and test. Throughout, he introduces design
concepts and techniques you can use to improve applications of many
kinds, even if they weren't built with Rails or Ruby.
- Learn how components clarify intent, improve collaboration, and
simplify innovation and maintenance
- Create a full Rails application within a component, from first steps
to migrations and dependency management
- Test component-based applications, manage assets and dependencies, and
deploy your application to production
- Identify the seams in an existing Rails application, and refactor it
to extract components
- Master a scripted, repeatable approach for refactoring Rails
applications of any size
- Use component-based Rails with two popular structural patterns:
hexagonal and DCI architecture
- Leverage your new component skills with other frameworks and languages
- Overcome the unique challenges that arise as you componentize Rails
applications
If you're ready to simplify and revitalize your complex Rails systems,
you're ready for Component-Based Rails Applications.
