Question

I have downloaded a gem and cuztomized few of its methods and placed it in scripts folder. How do I auto load those scripts instead of requiring them in every controller/other scripts that I need.

Answer 1

lib folder is the place to put those files. Then you should edit your config/application.rb file to configure auto load paths like this:

# Custom directories with classes and modules you want to be autoloadable.
config.autoload_paths += %W(#{config.root}/lib)
