SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Creates well-structured Rails service objects following SOLID principles with a callable interface and error handling. Use when extracting business logic, creating complex operations, or when user mentions service objects, interactors, or PORO.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • SRP-guided service objects: consistent structure under app/services with Entities and Submissions patterns.
  • Test-first pattern: always provide RSpec tests alongside services and use Result objects for success/failure.
  • Guided patterns library: patterns for CRUD, transaction, calculation, and dependency injection (as documented in references/patterns.md).

Quick Start

Generate a new Rails service object following the documented Entities structure and include RSpec tests.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract business logic into Rails service objects?▼

Rails service objects extract business logic into callable classes under app/services, enforcing the Single Responsibility Principle. They use Result objects for success/failure tracking and include RSpec tests to validate behavior.

What is the best way to structure Rails service objects with SOLID principles?▼

Structuring Rails service objects with SOLID principles involves using an Entities and Submissions pattern under app/services. This approach applies dependency injection and SRP-guided callable interfaces to keep complex operations isolated and maintainable.

How do I test Rails service objects with RSpec?▼

Testing Rails service objects with RSpec uses a test-first pattern that provides specs alongside the service. Tests validate the callable interface and assert Result object success or failure states for reliable behavior verification.

Do I need Ruby 3.x and Rails 8.x to use callable service objects?▼

Yes, implementing callable service objects with this pattern requires Ruby 3.x, Rails 8.x, and RSpec. These versions provide the necessary environment for the app/services structure and Result object enforcement.

What patterns are available for Rails service objects?▼

Rails service objects support guided patterns for CRUD operations, transactions, calculations, and dependency injection. These patterns ensure consistent structure and error handling when creating complex operations.

When should I use service objects instead of models or controllers in Rails?▼

Use Rails service objects when extracting complex business logic from models or controllers. They are ideal for creating interactors or POROs that require a callable interface, keeping your MVC architecture clean and maintainable.
