[LRUG] Hexagonal Architecture Guidelines For Rails

[Stephen Best]

@andrew to answer your questions:

1) A Rails controller's public API should be only action methods therefore
defining extra public methods is a bad idea as they become routable. Not to
mention interface segregation is always a good thing and as I mentioned
Forwardable and SimpleDelegator let you whip up adapter objects very easily.

2 and 3) Good code samples are *hard* to write, I'm working on some but
this post is my MVP based on conversations I've had with various people. I
will endeavour to provide some ASAP.

On the point of "considering other Rails users" I feel that why and how of
clean architecture are two different but related arguments, I only really
wanted to have to latter today :)

Bestie.
