Hi-

Where do you put your 'require' statements in a rails app?

For example, if I want to include a different gem, where do I place this?

require 'lib'

Thanks!

Put it where you're using it? If you need it in a paricular controller (which is hopefully where you need it... hate to see it in a model), then just call it there. You can require anywhere... but the best practices I don't know about.

class AvatarController > etc require "RMagick" #etc end

Ok, I'll put it in the controller, unless someone tells me it's bad style :slight_smile:

Thanks!
