[Rails] accessing a variable inside a plugin

[James Adam]

Why not define a method in your module which loads the Hash, and then
call this method within init.rb? In general, you need to be careful
about creating variables and objects in init.rb, since the bindings
under which the file is evaluated can cause scope weirdness under some
circumstances.

Anyway - something like this.

my_plugin/lib/my_module.rb
---------------------------------------
  module MyModule
    def self.load(filename)
      @data = YAML.load(.....)
    end
    def self.use_data
      # do whatever you want with @data
    end
  end


my_plugin/init.rb
------------------------
  MyModule.load('filename.yml')
