Rails

I have a too many models and want to maitain separate validation and
relationship files for each model. Is there any way i can maintain it
with rails?
Any specific advantage to do it?

You’d use a mixin.

How will that change the fact that you have too many models?

Use mixins or subclasses.

Explain more about your use case.

module FooMethods

  def method1
    ...

  def method2

end


If i will create a new module for every model to separate my validation 
and logic part. Than will it help anyway in load and other things?

Don’t bother. It’s a completely pointless idea. Splitting your models
into 2 files will provide no performance or architectural benefits that
I can see, and will make your code harder to read.
