A Ruby gem providing a common interface for encapsulating business logic in single-purpose objects called interactors. Each interactor operates on a context with support for success/failure handling, hooks, and organizing logic into organizers.

Use cases

• encapsulate business logic in ruby
• replace fat rails controllers with service objects
• organize complex multi-step operations
• handle success and failure flows in ruby apps
• chain multiple operations with rollback
• structure application logic for testability

When to choose

• building Ruby or Rails applications with complex business logic
• you want a lightweight, well-established service object pattern
• you need composable operations with before/after hooks and failure handling

When to avoid

• using non-Ruby languages
• you prefer plain POROs or a different service object approach
• your logic is simple enough that an abstraction adds overhead
