Question

I want to add a method to the Array class in a rails app. Where should I put this method?

EDIT to be clearer, obviously I put it in a file somewhere, but how do I tell the rails app about where to find it?

Answer 1

One way to do this is to create a file at lib/rails_extensions.rb. Then, add your extensions like so:

class Array   def bring_me_food     # ...   end    def make_tea     # ...   end end  class Hash   def rub_my_shoulders     # ...   end end 

Then in config/environment.rb, add this:

require 'rails_extensions' 

Your mileage with subservient objects may vary.
