sinatra helper in external file

Question

I have lot of helpers in my main Sinatra project_name.rb and I want to remove them to the external file, what is the best practice to do that ?

from ./preject_na

Answer 1

It seems the answer @DaveSag offered miss something. Should add a line at the beginning of my_modular_app.rb:

$:.unshift File.expand_path('../lib', __FILE__)  # add ./lib to $LOAD_PATH

require 'sinatra/base'
require 'sinatra/some_helpers' # this line breaks unless line 1 is added.

# more code below...

In addition, if someone prefers a "classical style" like me, the following is for you :)

In app.rb

$:.unshift File.expand_path('../lib', __FILE__)

require 'sinatra'
require 'sinatra/some_helpers'

get '/' do
  hello_world
end

In lib/sinatra/some_helpers.rb

module Sinatra
  module SomeHelper
    def hello_world
      "Hello World from Helper!!"
    end
  end

  helpers SomeHelper
end
