I am trying to figure out the best way to organize a bunch of Ruby scripts to make it easier on the next person. One key thing is that there are multiple constant variables that need to be used across all scripts. Where should these be stored? Do I keep a separate file for these constants? Should I use YAML? I've never had to create a project with multiple Ruby source files interacting with each other, so I'm not sure as to what the best method of approach is here.
Thanks for the help.
I like to use a config.yaml file for all my constants. This makes it easy to set and change variables that are going to be used across different files. Then all you need to do is read in the file and set the variables. You can keep this file anywhere really, so long as anyone using the file has read permissions. All you have to do then is set the file path.
Hope this helps.
