Naming Conventions
Models are singular, with a capitalized class name, located in app/models, have an extension of .rb, and inherit from ActiveRecord::Base.
Controllers are plural, with a CamelCase class name, located in app/controllers, have an extension of .rb, and inherit from ApplicationController.
Views are a bit more difficult. They reside in a folder in app/views, the name of that folder comes from the associated controller and is plural. The name of the actual file is the name of the associated action (or method), plus .html.erb. They don't inherit from anything. This may make things clearer...
| Type | File Name | Location | Class Name | Inherits From |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Model | planet.rb | app/models | Planet | ActiveRecord::Base |
| Controllers | planets_controller.rb | app/controllers | PlanetsController | ApplicationController |
| Views | index.html.erb | app/views/planets | N/A | N/A |
