[ GitHub ]Class Method Details
.autoloaders
Provides access to the application autoloaders.
The autoloader that manages autoload_paths is reachable as
Rails.autoloaders.main
This autoloader manages the constants that are reloaded when reloading is enabled.
The autoloader that manages autoload_once_paths is reachable as
Rails.autoloaders.once
This autoloader manages constants that are autoloaded, but not reloaded.
You can use these objects to customize their behavior, defining custom root namespaces, collapsing directories, configuring callbacks, etc.
# config/environments/development.rb
Rails.autoloaders.main.on_load("MyGateway") do
MyGateway.endpoint = "https://my-gateway.localhost"
end
# config/environments/production.rb
Rails.autoloaders.main.on_load("MyGateway") do
MyGateway.endpoint = "https://my-gateway.example.com"
end
The each iterator allows you to iterate over both loaders:
Rails.autoloaders.each do |loader|
loader.log!
end
which may be handy if you want to run the same code for both of them.
Indeed, there is a shortcut for that common use case:
Rails.autoloaders.log!
which is handy to watch the activity of the autoloaders.
Finally, zeitwerk_enabled? allows you to check if autoloading is powered
by Zeitwerk. This predicate returns a hard-coded true since Rails 7, but
it is still in place for engines that support Rails 6.
The autoloaders are available really early, you can access them in the application class body, environment configuration, initializers, etc.
Please check the Autoloading and Reloading Constants guide and the documentation of Zeitwerk itself for more details and usage patterns.

def self.deprecator # :nodoc: @deprecator ||= ActiveSupport::Deprecation.new end
.error
Returns the ::ActiveSupport::ErrorReporter of the current Rails project,
otherwise it returns nil if there is no project.
Rails.error.handle(IOError) do
# ...
end
Rails.error.report(error)
# File 'railties/lib/rails.rb', line 92
def error ActiveSupport.error_reporter end
.event
Returns the ::ActiveSupport::EventReporter of the current Rails project,
otherwise it returns nil if there is no project.
Rails.event.notify("my_event", { message: "Hello, world!" })
# File 'railties/lib/rails.rb', line 100
def event ActiveSupport.event_reporter end
.gem_version
Returns the currently loaded version of Rails as a Gem::Version.
.groups(*groups)
Returns all Rails groups for loading based on:
- The Rails environment;
- The environment variable RAILS_GROUPS;
- The optional envs given as argument and the hash with group dependencies;
Rails.groups assets: [:development, :test]
=> [:default, "development", :assets] for Rails.env == "development"
=> [:default, "production"] for Rails.env == "production"
.public_path
Returns a ::Pathname object of the public folder of the current
Rails project, otherwise it returns nil if there is no project:
Rails.public_path
# => #<Pathname:/Users/someuser/some/path/project/public>
# File 'railties/lib/rails.rb', line 129
def public_path application && Pathname.new(application.paths["public"].first) end
.root
Returns a ::Pathname object of the current Rails project,
otherwise it returns nil if there is no project:
Rails.root
# => #<Pathname:/Users/someuser/some/path/project>
# File 'railties/lib/rails.rb', line 64
def root application && application.config.root end
