In our application we have a number controller actions that have gotten very long and difficult to maintain. Usually #create and #update. A huge reason for this is that the objects handled by the controllers have a bucketload of associations that must be handled according to a complex set of business requirements.
In short things have gotten complicated and I'm looking for a way to break up the code in more manageable chunks. I know this is an endeavor as old as programming itself, but I hope people can share some of their experiences. The code i'm dealing with in particular has a lot of error checking. If this & this then fail. If this but not that then fail, and so forth. Of course every conditional has various error messages that must be sent back to client and else clauses and blah blah. It would be interesting to have some kind of callback system, that monitors different stages of the #create workflow for example, and when an error is encountered it bombs out, finds the correct message to display and returns to view. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
