I've used "require '/.alchemyapi'" in a pure Ruby program to test the response of an API, now I'm ready to use it in my Rails application. The problem is, I don't know where or how to incorporate it within my application. Where am I supposed to put the "require '/.alchemyapi'" statement? Note, this has NO gem associated with it. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

  • You can do it in `config/application.rb`, as described here: [http://guides.rubyonrails.org/initialization.html#config-application](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/initialization.html#config-application) – Michael Gaskill May 23 '16 at 19:01

You can put your Ruby codes in lib folder, and require it like this:

require "#{RAILS.root}/lib/yourcode.rb

just like the suggestion made by Dan here. You can also put your code in another custom directory of your preference and have it accessible from anywhere by manipulating config.load_paths like the answer provided by Katz here.

You can put require statement into config/application.rb file for rails application.
