Question on File Structure Best Practices about zeitwerk

[fxn]

One possible solution that would flow well with everything would be to define Foo::Constants:

# app/models/foo/constants.rb
module Foo::Constants
  MY_CONSTANT = ...
end

and then include that one in Foo:

# app/models/foo.rb
module Foo
  include Constants
end

That works because to resolve Foo:: MY_CONSTANT Ruby looks the ancestors of Foo up, follows the conventions, works well with reloading.... Also, anyone opening app/models/foo.rb sees clearly that you're injecting constants into Foo.

Ok, so it sounds like the module has to be defined if the file exists. Thanks for the quick reply.
