Hi, Newbie here. I would like to know where do I keep modules that I can include in the Models as well as Controllers in the app? Where do I store the modules, which files? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Ok If I put them in the lib folder I can include them in both models and controllers right? Any special syntax I should be aware of? And I just create a new .rb file in the lib folder and drop the module(s) in right? Sorry just confirming :) and Thanks!

No special syntax.
Just ''require'' to load the module to make the application
aware of that
code''s existence. Then include to add the methods of that module to
either
the model or controller.
# lib/cool_code.rb
module CoolCode
def do_stuff
Rails.logger.debug "do stuff"
end
end
# app/controllers/welcome_controller.rb
require ''cool_code''
class WelcomeController < ApplicationController
include CoolCode
def index
do_stuff
end
end
# app/models/post.rb
require ''cool_code''
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
include CoolCode
def some_method
do_stuff
end
end

Also, if you put
config.autoload_paths += %W(#{config.root}/lib)
in config/application.rb, then you don''t need to use require
''cool_code''.
