Shatter

Shatter is a generator for Rails that seperates an existing model logic into separate files. Shatter uses ActiveSupport::Concern's included do end block to call code in the primary model file in the context of that model's class.

When to use Shatter?

• Your models are getting too fat.
• You don't want to break any existing code.
• You want to stay compatible with 'The Rails Way'.

Add this line to your Rails application's Gemfile:

gem 'shatter-rails'

And then execute:

$ bundle
$ rails g shatter:shatter [model]

Description:
    Shatter is a generator for Rails that seperates an existing model logic into separate files. 

Example:
    rails generate shatter:shatter thing

    This will create:
        /app/models/thing/assocations.rb
        /app/models/thing/operations.rb
        /app/models/thing/queries.rb
        /app/models/thing/validations.rb

    And will insert the following into /app/models/thing.rb:
        include Thing::Associations
        include Thing::Operations
        include Thing::Queries
        include Thing::Validations

Once you've run the generator, you can copy and paste code from your thing.rb model file into the appropriate file.
