Is there any way to package your code by feature in rails? I would like to structure my project so that each feature has its controllers, jobs, mailers, layouts and helpers in its own folder. e.g.

app
----user
--------jobs
--------controllers
--------mailers
--------layouts
--------helpers

----company
--------jobs
--------controllers
--------mailers
--------layouts
--------helpers

where user and company are seperate features.

I've done this in my app and its pretty easy.

You create your file structure the way you want it and then you just put config.autoload_paths += %W(#{config.root}/app/user/jobs) or whatever other subdirectory you want into your application.rb folder.

People might say this is not the rails way but I feel your pain when your project gets really big and hard to navigate.

Checkout Trailblazer gem. It is an extension on the basic MVC pattern.
