Ruby on Rails access array in model

Question

I have an array in my model but I don't know how to access it from some defs in this model

private 

topics =
[
'en','Sports','sports',
'en','Sports,Soccer,Football','soccer,football',
]

def self.load   
    topics.each_slice(3).map do |lang,tags,searchterms|
        load_data(lang,tags,searchterms) 
    end 
end

But when I try from to execute from console it shows an error

NameError: undefined local variable or method `topics' for Class:

I don't want to declare the array inside def because I need other methods from model can access to this array

Any idea? thanks

Because you've defined topics as local variable but trying to get it as class variable.

Just change it to @@topics both in the definition and in the method load, then it should work.
