Rails Objects Naming Convention

CoC in RoR is awesome, nevertheless, when starting in the framework, getting to know by memory the convention is quite hard, so here's a cheat sheet of how to name a model on each layer of a standard MVC app:

Layer Plural or Singular Files / Folders Names
Database plural N/A snake_case table names: users, todos, todo_items, organization_members, payment_confirmations
Model singular snake_case files names: user.rb, todo.rb, todo_item.rb, organization_member.rb, payment_confirmation.rb PascalCase classes names: User, Todo, TodoItem, OrganizationMember, PaymentConfirmation
Controller plural snake_case files names: users_controller.rb, todos_controller.rb, todo_items_controller.rb, organization_members_controller.rb, payment_confirmations_controller.rb PascalCase classes names: UsersController, TodosController, TodoItemsController, OrganizationMembersController, PaymentConfirmationsController
View plural snake_case folders names: users, todos, todo_items, organization_members, payment_confirmations (and within each folder, the regular views index, new, edit) N/A

Hope it helps to anyone learning RoR!
