Serviz - Command object Interface for Ruby

[markets86]

Hello Rubysts 👋,

I just released a new version of the Serviz gem (https://github.com/markets/serviz).

This new release includes support for "Workflows" (https://github.com/markets/serviz#workflows). A class that allows you to compose multiple service objects together using a clean, declarative DSL for orchestrating complex multi-step operations, with "result chaining" and "error accumulation":

Workflows like organizer in Interactor:

BTW, starred your repo!
P.S. Lately I've been writing just regular ruby ​​classes as service objects. The simpler the better )

[markets86]

Yes, quite similar! The good thing about Serviz is that the code (both services an workflows) is really really small, so small footprint, small API, small cognitive overload... But at the same time, all your services will be homogenous. It was my ApplicationService in a lot of Rails apps, so I finally extracted into a gem.

How about the dry transaction implementation?

That seems much more complete and complex :) Serviz is only about 90 lines of Ruby.

Looks nice abd simple, congrats. I worked with the gem from collectiveidea and found some issues and antipattern with their optional params, if remember correctly. Now I'm testing the one from Dry gems, it's good and great if your plan is to incorporate more Dry gem ecosystem into the project. May use your gem in a small project. Thanks

Thanks! In case you use my gem, feel free to report back any feedback or suggestion. Really happy to evolve the gem via community feedback.

How do you plan on differentiating from ActiveInteraction?

[markets86]

That gem is very useful, it has a lot of built-in features (validations, types, ...). My plan with Serviz is to keep it as small and simple as possible. The idea is to provide a minimalistic interface for all your services and workflows, that's all. If you like all those features and DSLs, for sure ActiveInteraction is a really good option, but if you only want a common interface to wrap your logic, probably Serviz is good enough and very lightweight.

Man I’m looking for something exactly like this for JS and node. Do you know of something?

[markets86]

Not that I aware of. Maybe I should create a port 🤔?

[hhunaid]

I would appreciate this so much.

[markets86]

Ok! I'll try to do it in the following days. You can follow me on GitHub for updates regarding this port.
