In this episode we dive deep into some specific refactors from Refactoring 's Chapter 1. We talk about renaming things, extracting functions, functions, replacing a temp with query and some other hot tips and tricks you can put into your code today.

This episode walks through specific code examples from Chapter 1 of Martin Fowler's Refactoring...

Some of the refactors

Change Function Declaration

Rename things
Names are hard
A few general categories of things you can name
- predicate? - Should only return true / false - Javascript start with is - ruby question mark - so isValidPhone(number)
- In Ruby - ! For destructive / dangerous actions - update_recent_activity! - name destructive actions or actions with side effects really well.
- Formatting? - use - as - number_as_phone(number) or to to_bmi(user.weight, user.height)

Extract Function

Replace temp w/ query

Extending this example:

Instead of:

accounts = get_accounts(user)
transactions = get_transactions(accounts)

we can just do:

transactions = get_transactions(get_accounts(user))

Replace conditional with polymorphism

Notification.deliver! example
