Ruby On Rails and "external classes"

Question

I have RSS-reader class for Ruby, and I'd want to use it in rails, where does the rss_reader.rb go? To "libs/rss_reader.rb"?

I tried that, then requiring it in controller, but I get error: 'MissingSourceFile (no such file to load -- lib/RssReader)'

Answer 1

If you put your class in "RAILS_ROOT/lib/" it will be autoloaded and require 'lib/rss_reader.rb' should work.
