rails_env_conditional_logic

🔀 Use Rails.env for conditional logic​

You can branch your application logic based on the current environment using Rails.env. This helps you enable or disable features, adjust logging, or integrate services only in specific environments. Use concise conditional blocks to keep your code clean and maintainable.

# app/controllers/application_controller.rb
if Rails.env.production?
# Enable performance monitoring in production
use_performance_monitoring
elsif Rails.env.development?
# Enable debug toolbar in development
use_debug_toolbar
end

# Use environment-agnostic feature flag
enabled = Rails.env.test? || Rails.env.development?
