Class redefinition

Rails
1

Hi,

Suppose I want to redefine the Ruby String class in a Rails app. In
which
file is it the most suitable to write the redefinition?

Thanks

any file … as long its visible to your application and require for
that
file returns true

for example you have a file called thisfile.rb

all you have to do in that file is

class String
def yourMethod
#do something
end
end

and wherever you need it just do this

require ‘thisfile’

-daya

…and “thisfile.rb” should go into the model, controller or helpers
folder?

ok thanks.

Another question… once I start my Webrick server, the String class
gets
redefined well the first time but all subsequent changes goes unnoticed
by
the requests. I have to restart my webserver…

Why is this happening?
Is there a way to avoid it?
