how do i share common models among many projects in ruby/rails?

Question

I have a 2 different rails project, and I want to share my models among them. How could I achieve this?

I am considering a gem or sub-modules.

Personally, I'd factor them out into a gem or engine. If you want a more detailed explanation, I'll expound this into a full answer. — Alistair A. Israel, Mar 08 '13 at 07:51

Extract the common code to a gem, or at the very least into a library structure (maybe in /lib ...) that you can isolate and manually include into your two projects.

I suppose when you say share models, you imply activerecord models. You can create symlink to folder. Or something similar has been asked at Share Models between 2 Rails API's (Separate Applications)
