Hi Guys, Still fairly new to Rails. Want to see if I'm doing anything un-idiomatic. Few questions of style:
1. "public controller" I'm using a "public" controller. It seems to be a good semantic choice, because it's for the landing page and the other few pages that public site visitors go to. I see "home" more often, but while home is meaningful for the landing page, it doesn't seem a great word to describe the collection of pages accessible to site visitors who have not registered (/, about_us, tesrms_and_conditions, etc), hence my choice of "public" which seems to better fit what I'm trying to express. Weird or just different? 2. rspec view naming I know the default naming convention for a views/public/landing.html.erb is spec/views/public/landing.html.erb_spec.rb This seems like a bad idea. I don't want to test that it's an erb file - I want to test that the landing.html page contains whatever I want it to contain. So if I move from erb to haml that should not require me to rewrite or rename my test. As such, a better convention seems to be: spec/views/public/landing.html_spec.rb Any thoughts/opinions? I know it's small stuff, but I'm trying to balance idioms with standard best practices with what seems to me to be the most readable and DRYest approach to writing the code.
