Question

I have a Rails app with the usual application_controller, and a controller (and model) for each of the tables. I also added a pages_controller, for the additional web pages my app uses, this is merely an empty method supporting the corresponding views.

Now I would like to add some methods and pages that provide some overall monthly stats for the app, pulling data from each of the tables, grouped by month.

Where does Rails convention say I should put these methods?

Thank you.

Answer 1

You could either add the stats logic to your model, if you have a separated model for stats. Or you can create some class to handle that for you, therefor this file should be in lib/.
