Core Refactoring Principles
1. DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
- Extract repeated logic into concerns, helpers, or service objects
- Use Rails' powerful
delegatemethod to avoid duplication - Create shared partials for repeated view logic
- Define model scopes for reusable query logic
2. Single Responsibility Principle (SRP)
- Each class should have ONE reason to change
- Controllers handle HTTP request/response only
- Models handle data persistence and relationships only
- Service objects handle business logic
- Query objects handle complex database queries
