Design Principles behind
I am José Valim @josevalim
I work at blog.plataformatec.co
Core Team Member
Rails 3
SOLID Design
None
•Single Responsibility Principle •Open/closed Principle •Liskov Substitution
Single Responsibility Principle
“A class should have one, and only one, reason to
change” - Uncle Bob
Example: Views Refactoring
0.x ActionView::Base tracking details finding templates compiling templates rendering templates
rendering context Controller Render Contents
1.0 ActionView::Base tracking details finding templates rendering templates rendering context
Controller Render Contents Template Template handler compiling templates
builder, rjs, haml...
2.2 ActionView::Base tracking details rendering templates rendering context Controller Render
Contents Template Template handler compiling templates View paths hold filesystem paths finding templates
Rails Engines!
3.0 ActionView::Base tracking details rendering templates rendering context Controller Render
Contents Template Template handler compiling templates View paths hold resolvers Resolvers finding templates
The resolver object no longer restricts templates to the filesystem
class BasicController < ActionController::Base self.view_paths = [ ActionView::FixtureResolver.new( "basic/hello_world.html.erb" =>
"Hello world!" ) ] def hello_world render :action => "hello_world" end end
You can create your own abstractions, allowing you to read
templates from the database!
3.0 ActionView::Base tracking details rendering templates rendering context Controller Render
Contents Template Template handler compiling templates View paths hold resolvers Resolvers finding templates
3.0 ActionView::Base rendering templates rendering context Controller Render Contents Template
Template handler compiling templates View paths hold resolvers Resolvers finding templates Lookup context tracking details
3.1 Controller Template Template handler compiling templates View paths hold
resolvers Resolvers finding templates Lookup context tracking details AV::Renderer rendering templates ActionView::Base rendering context
def lookup_context ActionView::LookupContext.new(self.class._view_paths) end def view_renderer ActionView::Renderer.new(lookup_context) end def _render_template(options)
view_renderer.render(view_context, options) end
def view_context ActionView::Base.new(view_renderer, view_assigns, self) end
Maybe templates could be rendered in the controller context?
class BasicController < ActionController::Base include ActionView::Context # STEP 1 before_filter
:_prepare_context # STEP 2 def hello_world @value = "Hello" end protected def view_context # STEP 3 self end def __controller_method__ "controller context!" end end
# app/views/basic/hello_world.html.erb <%= @value %> from <%= __controller_method__ %> #
would return... Hello from controller context!
3.1 Controller Template Template handler compiling templates View paths hold
resolvers Resolvers finding templates Lookup context tracking details AV::Renderer rendering templates ActionView::Base rendering context
Top-down comprehension Worse Maintainability Better Focused comprehension Much Better Extensibility
POSSIBLE!
Open/closed Principle
“You should be able to extend a class behavior without
modifying it” - Uncle Bob
Open for extension, closed for modification
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base end
Easy to follow because Ruby classes are all open for
extensions...
... but easy to violate because they are not closed
for modification.
# In your initializer ... config.active_record.table_name_prefix = “foo” # Then
... ActiveRecord::Base.table_name_prefix #=> “foo”
class ApplicationModel < ActiveRecord::Base end
class MyApp::ApplicationModel < ActiveRecord::Base end
Dependency Inversion
“Depend on abstractions, not on concretions” - Uncle Bob
def initialize(app:
def initialize(app)
@rack_app.call
1) Define
match “/foo”, to:
match “/foo”, to: match “/foo”, to: PostsController.action
3.1 Controller Template Template handler compiling templates View paths hold
resolvers Resolvers finding templates Lookup context tracking details AV::Renderer rendering templates ActionView::Base rendering context
@resolver.find_all( name, prefix, partial, details, key, locals
@haml_handler.call
2) Remove hardcoded dependencies
class PostsController < ApplicationController use ActiveRecord::IdentityMap::Middleware, :only => :index #
... end # And this builds the middleware stack ... PostsController.action(:index)
def self.action(name) middleware_stack.build(name.to_s) do |env| new.dispatch(name, ActionDispatch::Request.new(env)) end end
def self.action(name, klass = ActionDispatch::Request) middleware_stack.build(name.to_s) do |env| new.dispatch(name, klass.new(env))
end end
3) Define hooks
1) Load console on sandbox rails console --sandbox 2) Internally...
require “rails/console/ sandbox”
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.increment_open_transactions ActiveRecord::Base.connection.begin_db_transaction at_exit do ActiveRecord::Base.connection.rollback_db_transaction ActiveRecord::Base.connection.decrement_open_transactions end
Instead provide a hook...
class ActiveRecord::Railtie < Rails::Railtie console do |sandbox| if sandbox require
"active_record/railties/console_sandbox" end ActiveRecord::Base.logger = Logger.new(STDERR) end end
Liskov Substitution Principle
“Derived classes must be substitutable for their base classes” -
Uncle Bob
“Derived classes must be substitutable for their base classes” -
Uncle Bob
@rack_app.call •Receives a hash •Returns an array with status code,
headers and an object that responds
Define substitutable but also don’t violate the principle
Datamapper x Active Record
Active Model User.model_name user.persisted? user.valid? user.errors user.to_key user.to_param
How do we ensure substitutability?
ActiveModel::Lint::Tests
class LintTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase include ActiveModel::Lint::Tests def setup @model =
SomeDatamapperModel.new end end
Interface Segregation Principle
“Make fine grained interfaces that are client specific” - Uncle
Bob
“Clients should depend on as narrow protocol as possible” -
Jim Weirich
Active Model User.model_name user.persisted? user.valid? user.errors user.to_key user.to_param
How do we ensure a narrow protocol?
class MyPost < ActiveRecord::Base end my_post = MyPost.new assert_equal "my_posts/1",
url_for(my_post)
my_post = Mock.new my_post.stubs(:model_name).returns("MyPost") my_post.stubs(:to_param).returns(2) assert_equal "my_posts/1", url_for(my_post)
Code to well- defined and narrow protocols
