Handling namespace models (classes) in namespace

Question

I am using Ruby on Rails 3 and I would like to handle models (classes) namespaces within namespaces. That is, if I have a namespace named NS1 and a \"sub-namespace\

Answer 1

The

models/ns1/articles.rb

is basically setting the table name prefix for all the model classes under that namespace. Thats its use. It's more DRY'ish to do in there (in a single file), rather than setting the prefix in every model class under that namespace.

I am not a big fan of using namespaces in my models. However you could refer to the following articles to gain a better understanding about using namespaces in modules.

• Namespaced models and controllers

Some alternatives to using namespaces in models

• A simple alternative to namespaced models

Hope this helps.
