I’ve found several sites online that explain the DIR structure of a Rails app, but I’m still not clear on a few, mainly:
/vendor
/lib
/public
What should go where? I want to know the best practice. For example, I have jQuery plugins, should those be located in /vendor? /public? /lib? I’ve read all 3 from different sites online.
Thanks
Vendor is third party code / libraries, so, yes, a good place for jQuery plugins.
Public is for static assets, stuff that gets no benefit from being in the asset pipeline.
Lib is generally used to contain your code that is not specific to the app. i.e. stuff you use in multiple apps. There is a trend to put domain logic in lib e.g. domain classes not based on ActiveModel. Gary Bernhardt (https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/) is a proponent of this.
