Sae Rom Hong

Open Source Tech Evangelist / Front End Designer How to Fall in Love with the Command Line

Imagine a mythical forest. This is a forest that at first, exists only in the invisible nth-dimension of your imagination. Just like Peter Pan's Neverland. This forest is the world of the Linux/Unix command line, and everything is enshrouded in a thick, black, darkness. The only remnants of light glow and flicker between walls of forward slashes, glittering periods, and blinking cursors.

Deep inside the forest hides an elusive silver unicorn. The unicorn flits in and out, behind thick trunks of trees, a hint of a mane trailing in the darkness. You have heard a rumor that it is possible to catch a glimpse of this unicorn, if you use a little “magic”.

Understand What a Model, Controller, View, and Helper are

Rails heavily depends on the model view controller (MVC) design pattern. Every one of them has a specific job and jeopardizing them is never a good idea. A controller is responsible for handling Rails requests and passing data from a model to a view. You can think of the controller as a manager between the logic of your program and the actual view that a user actually sees. Generally, a controller should have very few code. It should just execute some functions and retrieve instance variables to be used directly in a view. Moreover, it is used to do redirects with redirect_to and the likes.

A model is where your actual business logic is. The body of your main functions should always lie inside a model that is responsible for handling that data. Since a model operates on data, it’s pretty sensible that a model actually represents a database ta
