Styleguide Amendments

These amendments are listed below, though we may forget some. Rubocop will help you, and we have a .rubocop.yml which we develop with.

ActiveRecord Models

• Group macro-style methods at the beginning of the class definition, in the following order:

  class User < ActiveRecord::Base
    # put the default scope at the top
    default_scope { includes(:favorites) }
  
    # then the constants
    COLORS = %w[red green blue]
  
    # then named scopes
    scope(:banned) { where(banned: true) }
  
    # then any mixin-style "acts_as_*" and similar methods
    acts_as_sortable
    devise :database_authenticable, :registerable, :recoverable,
           :validatable, :confirmable
  
    # then field-type macros such as enum or has_attached_file
    enum rating_system: %i[smilies stars]
    has_attached_file :avatar
  
    # then associations
    has_many :library_entries
  
    # then validation
    validates :email, presence: true
    validates name, presence: true
  
    # and then callbacks
    before_save :do_the_thing
  
    # ... and finally the rest of the methods!
  end
