Where in Rails should I change the base class?

Question

I want to change Fixnum to include the "weekend_days" method:

class Fixnum

  def weekend_days
    //get correct days
  end

end

I want this to be available on my controllers and models? Obviously, I also need it to work in my tests.

Where are the "rails" suitable place to place?

Answer 1

My addiction was just to put it in config/initializers/fixnum.rb. Rails will automatically pick this up during the startup process, so it should be available in a real application, tests, etc. If you end up using this in several Rails projects, it might also be a good plugin.
