It would be something like this:

require "#{Rails.root}/example_folder/example.rb"

just before the declaration of your controller.

require File.join(Rails.root, "example_folder", "example")

assuming /projects/ is your rails application root folder

You can auto load custom directories with classes and modules you want to be.

So you can Edit config/application.rb

# Custom directories with classes and modules you want to be autoloadable.
config.autoload_paths += %W(#{config.root}/example_folder)
