What are the best practices for using Pundit in Rails?

When using Pundit in Rails, it's important to keep your policies organized, use scopes for queries, and avoid complex logic in your policies.

Can you explain how to structure my policy files?

Sure! It's best to create a separate policy file for each model. Name the file after the model, like PostPolicy, and define methods for each action.

How do I handle authorization in controllers?

In your controllers, use the authorize method to check permissions. For example, authorize @post will raise an error if the user is not allowed to perform the action.

What about testing my policies?

You can test your policies using RSpec. Create specs for each policy method to ensure they return the expected results based on user roles.
