2. Ivan the Terrible’s Blog A Ruby on Rails Anti-patterns Example Saturday, June 15, 13
3. What are AntiPatterns? • There must be at least two key elements present to formally distinguish an actual AntiPattern from a simple bad habit, bad practice, or bad idea: • A repeated pattern of action, process, or structure that initially appears to be beneficial but ultimately produces more bad consequences than beneficial results • A refactored solution that is clearly documented, proven in actual practice, and repeatable • AntiPatterns: Refactoring Software, Architectures, and Projects in Crisis (William Brown, Raphael Malveau, Skip McCormick, and Tom Mowbray) Saturday, June 15, 13
4. What are you reading? • It might be asked of you in an interview • It’s a great go-to for “Do you have any questions?” Saturday, June 15, 13
5. Gang of Four (GOF) Saturday, June 15, 13
6. • Separate Out the Things That Change from Those That Stay the Same • Program to an Interface, Not an Implementation • Prefer Composition over Inheritance • Delegate, Delegate, Delegate • YAGNI • and many more - specific to ruby Saturday, June 15, 13
7. • OOP • SRP • Managing Dependencies • Creating Flexible Interfaces • Duck Typing • Inheritance • Modules • Composition • Testing Saturday, June 15, 13
8. • Voyeuristic Models • Fat Models • Spaghetti SQL • Duplicate Code Duplication • Authorization Astronaut • The Million Model March • PHPitis • Markup Mayhem • Homemade Keys • Fat Controller • Bloated Sessions • Monolithic Controllers • Controller of Many Faces • A Lost Child Controller • Rat’s Nest Resources • and many more Saturday, June 15, 13
9. AntiPattern: Voyeuristic Models <%= @invoice.customer.name %> <%= @invoice.customer.address.street %> <%= @invoice.customer.address.city %> <%= @invoice.customer.address.state %> <%= @invoice.customer.address.zip_code %> class Address < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :customer end class Customer < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :address has_many :invoices end class Invoice < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :customer end Saturday, June 15, 13
10. AntiPattern: Voyeuristic Models Problem: Zero Encapsulation • Encapsulation: 1/4 core OOP concepts. • The other three are inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction. • makes class members (variables and methods) private, and only allows access thorough public methods. • a wall protecting your data from being modified, or accessed in ways that you, the programmer, may not want. In properly encapsulated code data inside a class is only accessible through these public interfaces. • Benefit: ability to modify our code without breaking other parts of our program, makes our programs much easier to maintain, extend, and gives you much more flexibility.

11. AntiPattern: Voyeuristic Models Solution: Delegation, Law of Demeter class Address < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :customer end class Customer < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :address has_many :invoices delegate :street, :city, :state, :zip_code, :to => :address end class Invoice < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :customer delegate :name, :street, :city, :state, :zip_code, :to => :customer, :prefix => true end Saturday, June 15, 13
12. AntiPattern: Voyeuristic Models Solution: Delegation, Law of Demeter <%= @invoice.customer.name %> <%= @invoice.customer.address.street %> <%= @invoice.customer.address.city %> <%= @invoice.customer.address.state %> <%= @invoice.customer.address.zip_code %> <%= @invoice.customer_name %> <%= @invoice.customer_street %> <%= @invoice.customer_city %> <%= @invoice.customer_state %> <%= @invoice.customer_zip_code %> Saturday, June 15, 13
13. AntiPattern: Voyeuristic Models Solution: Delegation, Law of Demeter <%= @invoice.name %> <%= @invoice.street %> <%= @invoice.city %> <%= @invoice.state %> <%= @invoice.zip_code %> class Invoice < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :customer delegate :name, :street, :city, :state, :zip_code, :to => :customer, :prefix => false end Saturday, June 15, 13
