Ruby recursively require all files in directory

#recursively require all files in directory (and subdirectories)
Dir["#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/squat/**/*.rb"].each {|file| require file }

#recursively require all files in directory but skip paths that match a pattern
Dir["#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/squat/**/*.rb"].each do |file|
  require file unless file =~ /\/model\//
end

A simple way to recursively require all ruby files in a directory structure, this is not really an ideal way as it doesn't take care of dependencies between requires, but it is quick and easy. If we do want to take care of the dependencies require_all gem is good, or can roll your own by catching exceptions and attempting to another pass at requiring all the ones that failed.
