Where 'require' statements should be placed inside workers?

[jdeel]

I need to place require statements (require 'nokogiri' and require 'open-uri') inside a worker file.
What is the best place to pace them: before the class definition, inside the class or inside perform method?
Is there any issue in placing them inside the worker's class, straight after the 'include Sidekiq::Worker' statement like in the example below?

class HardWorker
  include Sidekiq::Worker
  require 'nokogiri'
  require 'open-uri'

  def perform(name, count)
    # do something
  end
end

It's idiomatic to put them at the top of the file.  There's zero benefit to placing them where you have them in your example.

Many thanks for your help.
I will place them at the top of the file as you suggest
