🔍 Use Scopes for Reusable Queries​

Scopes let you encapsulate common query logic in your models, making controllers and services cleaner. Define scopes for frequently used filters or orderings to avoid repeating where and order clauses across your app. Scopes return an ActiveRecord::Relation, so you can chain them together for maximum flexibility.

class Article < ApplicationRecord
  scope :published, -> { where(published: true) }
  scope :recent,    -> { order(published_at: :desc) }
end

# Usage:
Article.published.recent.limit(5)
