For Rails project, should we separate models into sub directories

How should we separate models into sub directories? 100+ tables.

For example, for contract, there are

app/models/contract/contract.rb 
app/models/contract/contract_signer.rb

class Contract::Contract < ActiveRecord::Base
end
class Contract::ContractSigner < ActiveRecord::Base
end

I dislike it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We've got around 130 models here and are organizing them just as you said - except we're using Contract::Base from time to time. I recommend Contract::Contract and Contract::Signer here.

If you want to organize your models using directories, this is perfectly normal. You will need to add this directory to your load path in environment.rb.

The only thing that looks a little odd are your class names. Why don't you just use:

class Contract < ActiveRecord::Base
end

class ContractSigner < ActiveRecord::Base
end
