如何使用Sublime Text在ROR中的应用程序根目录中创建文件example_user.rb

Question

I am currently following Michael Hartl's Rails tutorial and not quite sure where to create the new example_user.rb file ( referenceed in section 4.4.5 ) because I am not sure what is meant by the root directory.

I understand how to create a new file using Sublime Text but I am not sure what path to place it in. My educated guess would be to place it in: project_app/config/locales since it is an .rb file.

Any suggestions under what path I should place this code?
Also, how could you accomplish this task using the command line?

Many thanks!

The tutorial says to create a example_user.rb file in your application root directory which would just be project_app/example_user.rb (based on your educated guess).

project_app/config/locales/ wouldn't be appropriate; that folder is used for something else entirely: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/i18n.html

Zahid's comment about putting it in app/models/ is sort of correct but doesn't actually follow the tutorial. As you get further into the tutorial, you'll learn that this example_user.rb file will later be moved from project_app/example_user.rb to project_app/app/models/user.rb after you have a better understanding of what Rails' models are.

Good luck!
