Hi, I’m an experienced Java programmer but have started coding ror in
the last month.
I have a lot of doubts now and hope I can get some help so I can be the
one to help others in the future 
So, I’m beggining to develop my first rails application, and installed a
gem called brazilian-rails (GitHub - tapajos/brazilian-rails: Brazilian Rails é um conjunto de gems para serem usadas com Ruby e com o Ruby on Rails e tem como objetivo unir alguns recursos úteis para os desenvolvedores brasileiros.)
so I can add some validations to my app.
After installing this gem, I have implemented this class
class Tenista < ActiveRecord::Base
validates_presence_of :nome, :cpf
usar_como_cpf :cpf
end
My question is: where is this usar_como_cpf method coming from? How did
my class suddenly recognized it, since it only extends
ActiveRecord::Base?
Thanks,
Rafael
