A community-driven style guide for Ruby on Rails covering routing, controllers, models, migrations, views, and more. It serves as the reference for the RuboCop Rails cops and documents recommended coding conventions.

Use cases

• how should I structure Rails routes
• best practices for ActiveRecord models
• Rails coding conventions for teams
• style rules for Rails migrations
• how to write skinny controllers in Rails
• recommended Rails style guide for RuboCop

When to choose

• you write Ruby on Rails code and want consistent team conventions
• you use RuboCop Rails and want to understand the rationale behind its cops
• you are onboarding developers to a Rails codebase

When to avoid

• you need executable linting rather than documentation (use rubocop-rails)
• you work outside Ruby or Rails
• you need a machine-readable config rather than prose guidance
