In Ruby on Rails, naming conventions are a set of guidelines that help maintain consistency and readability throughout the codebase. These conventions ensure that different components of a Rails application, such as models, controllers, views, and database tables, follow a standardized naming pattern. By adhering to these conventions, Rails developers can easily understand and navigate the codebase, making it easier to collaborate and maintain the application over time.
Here are some of the most common naming conventions in Rails:
1. Models
Model names are singular and use CamelCase (e.g., User, BlogPost, ProductCategory).
Model file names are lowercase and use underscores to separate words (e.g., user.rb, blog_post.rb, product_category.rb).

Controller file names are lowercase and use underscores to separate words (e.g., users_controller.rb, blog_posts_controller.rb, product_categories_controller.rb).
3. Views
