Using Rails Service Objects to Keep Code Clean

If you're developing web apps using Ruby on Rails, you probably already know that Rails is an MVC (Model-View-Controller) framework, which means that you have your Models responsible for data, Views responsible for templates and Controllers responsible for requests handling. But the bigger your app gets, the more features it has - the more business logic you will have. And here comes the question, where do you put your business logic? Obviously, it's not views that should handle it. Controllers or Models? That will make them fat and unreadable pretty soon. That's where Service Objects come to the rescue. In this article, we'll learn about Service Objects and how to use them to make your app cleaner and keep it maintainable.
