Directory Structure

The directory structure of this project is designed to organize the codebase into logical components and facilitate maintainability.

Top-Level Directories

• api: Contains the API related code. This includes controllers, serializers, and other logic for handling API requests and responses.
  • app/controllers/api/v4: Contains controllers for API version 4.
  • app/serializers/api/v4: Contains serializers for API version 4.
• app: Contains the core application logic, models, controllers, and views.
  • app/models: Contains the data models for the application.
  • app/services: Contains various services used by the application.
• config: Contains configuration files for the application, such as database settings, environment variables, and other settings.
  • config/initializers: Contains initializers that are run when the application starts up.
• db: Contains database related files, such as migrations and seeds.
  • db/migrate: Contains database migration files for evolving the database schema.
• lib: Contains reusable library code that can be used across the application.
• spec: Contains test files.
  • spec/requests: Contains integration tests for API endpoints.
  • spec/models: Contains unit tests for models.
  • spec/controllers: Contains unit tests for controllers.

Example Usage:

The following example demonstrates how the directory structure is used to organize the codebase:

• api/app/controllers/api/v4/projects_controller.rb: This file defines the controller responsible for handling API requests related to projects.
• app/models/project.rb: This file defines the Project model, which represents a project in the application.
• db/migrate/20230418123456_create_projects.rb: This file defines the migration that creates the projects table in the database.

Guidelines

• Keep related code together: Files that are logically related should be placed in the same directory.
• Use descriptive names: Directory and file names should be descriptive and accurately reflect the content.
• Follow conventions: Follow the established conventions for directory structure and file naming.
