Where do I add my class in RoR

Rails

If I want to add my class where do I add it?

as a module or as a controller?

class Contact
def initialize(name, email, message)
@name = name
@email= email
@message= message
end

def name(name)
@name = name
end

def email(email)
@email= email

end

def message(message)
@message= message
end

end

inside in your application under app/model folder. And if it is a
module
then insert it inside the lib folder.

You should put it under lib/contact.rb if you want to follow the
general convention.

Really? It seems to me that Contact (ActiveRecord subclass or not) would
be a legitimate model object in a MVC system. I could see putting some
utility classes and stuff that doesn’t really have a place in MVC in the
lib folder. That seems perfectly reasonable to me. Not everything can be
pigeon-holed into any specific design pattern.

So are you saying that any model object that is not subclassing
ActiveRecord::Base should not be kept inside the app/models folder? Even
when it is obviously a model object managing data, even when that data
may not be persisted to a database table.

I’m just looking for some clarification here. Is this just a developer
preference on how to organize classes? Or, are their issues surrounding
keeping non-ActiveRecord model objects in the /app/models folder?
