Shared Model Code

Rails
1

Where does one stick shared model code? I have a method that I want
to share between models. What file should I define that method in if
I want to keep DRY?

Thanks,

a module in the lib folder would be the right place i think
then you can include it in the models

in lib/my_cool_library.rb

module MyCoolLibrary

def my_cool_method
puts “I do stuff that’s cool”
end

end

Restart server

now, in your models, just do

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
include MyCoolLibrary
end

This will “mix in” this code into your class, making it available to
instance methods.

user = User.new
user.my_cool_method
