For me - no, it's not useful. By following the conventions of Rails, I *know* how the application flows, and the file structure supports this. I also try to write "self-documenting" code - if some piece of code is so complex that it needs supporting documentation (flowcharts, images, etc), then that's a clue to me that it might well need refactoring to make it simpler to understand (I'm not talking about space shuttle operating systems here... I'm talking about bread-and-butter Rails web apps). I *do* like to have object relationship diagrams to hand, though. As I find it quicker to look at associates on a single piece of paper, than by flipping from one model file to another. I have always used Railroad to generate them, although RubyMine IDE does have some dynamic model diagram generation built in. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
