rails howto use environment constant in models and views?

Question

i have my constants initialized in environment.rb like this :

 Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
  ...
  MAX_BID = 10
 end

i would like to use this constant in my models and views,what is the correct syntax? if a use it a model its says

 NameError: uninitialized constant User::MAX_BID

i understand that it is looking for the constant inside the model , how can i tell explicitly that this constant is in the environment? thanks

Answer 1

Maybe

Rails::MAX_BID

Answer 2

Pull it outside the config block.

So do this instead:

Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
  ...
end

MAX_BID = 10

Answer 3

You can use an initializer with all of your constants in /config/initializers/constants.rb

MAX_BID = 10
