Adding a directory to the load path in Rails?

Question

As of Rails 2.3, what\'s the right way to add a directory to the load path so that it hooks into Rails\' auto-reloading mechanisms?

The specific example I\'m thinkin

Answer 1

In config/application.rb add config.autoload_paths << "#{config.root}/models/widgets".

File should look like this:

module MyApp
  class Application < Rails::Application
    config.autoload_paths << "#{config.root}/models/widgets"
  end
end

I know this works for Rails 4 and 5. Probably others as well.
