Is there a correct place to load native Ruby libraries when using Rails?

In certain functionality of my application, I need to use the "open-Uri" library, which is native to Ruby and does not have a library for Ruby on Rails.

I’m using a require "open-uri" where I need in the application and is working normally.

I ask: Since there is no Gem to be placed as a dependency there in Gemfile, is there any location I should use to load this "dependency", or I can continue giving the require where I need to use it?

The way you’re doing it is correct. How open-uri is part of the standard Ruby library, you only need to require it when using.

I think it would be better if you used one helper and then just call it where you want to use the standard Ruby library.
