Hello. I have some code that I want to share between my models (i.e.: text formatting routines). Where would be the correct place to put it? Thanks in advance.

Ideally, you should write a plugin, more on that here -> https://peepcode.com/products/rails-2-plugin-patterns But you could also just create a simple module and make your models include it.

Thanks Mauricio, If I write the module, do I just put it in the folder where all the modules are?

No, you could put it at the "lib" folder and add a require for it in your user model. Putting your module at the helpers folder would make it be included in your view helpers, and i think this is not what you''re looking for :) On Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 11:40 PM, pepe <Pepe-gUAqH5+0sKL6V6G2DxALlg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Thanks Mauricio, > > If I write the module, do I just put it in the folder where all the > modules are? >-- Maurício Linhares http://alinhavado.wordpress.com/ (pt-br) | http://blog.codevader.com/ (en) João Pessoa, PB, +55 83 8867-7208 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Sorry, I should have said where all the ''models'' are.
Sorry if I am little dense here but it''s the first time I do this and
I want to make sure I understand.
I create a module (''my_module.rb'') with my code and just drop
the file
in folder ''lib'', not in ''lib/tasks''. Then I
issue a require
''my_module'' in my models and I''m ready to rock &
roll?
Thanks again.

Actually I think the module will be automatically included if you put it in the "lib" folder. You dont have to "require" it. mark --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

You could define the model like this, as a file called lib/
shared_methods.rb
module SharedMethods
def to_s
name
end
end
and then just type include SharedMethods in any model you want to have
that to_s method.
