Ruby Language

I was recently asked about Rails API applications and wanted to explore the options (based on the Flintstones characters). The end goal is to return one or many records in the following format - without an N+1 query.

I am have been exploring Graph-DBs and wanted to try a graph structure in a relational DB. Not trivial! This code can be found at: https://github.com/btihen-dev/flintstones_api Getting Started bin/rails new flintstones_api --api cd flintstones_api bin/rails g scaffold Person first_name last_name given_last_name gender bin/rails g model PersonRelationships role_one role_two \ person_one:references person_two:references Let’s update the migration to make the first & last name required as well as gender

Rails Design - Modules with Boundaries and Injection Recently, a colleague Severin Räz suggested that we could be using module to create namespaces (to organize our code with high cohesion) and private_constant to enforce API boundaries (enforce low coupling).

Intro This article was inspired by [Julián Pinzón] and his talk at Ruby Australia 2023 All you need is Rails (Engines): Compartmentalising your Monolith. Its widely known that Engines are a power way to create a full ‘sub-rails application’.

Rails with Strong Boundaries between the Modules This experiment was inspired from an internal Tech Talk at Garaio REM by a colleague Severin Räz. He suggested that we could be using module to create namespaces (to organize our code with high cohesion) and private_constant to enforce API boundaries (enforce low coupling).

Install Rails Gem To install rails you first need to install the rails gem with: gem install rails I thought it would be fun to test the new alpha version of rails - but I always forget how to do this without upgrading an existing projects.

Packwerk enables lightweight modular Rails projects. It is a flexible, low overhead alterntive to Rails Engines. Crucially, for established code it allows a gradual migration and to only enforce module boundaries when the code is sufficiently refactored with low coupling.

Organizing Code Gems and Engines have long been used to organize Ruby and Rails code into workable small units. Shopify has introduced a new system called ‘packages’ - they use the packwerk gem to help us.
