If I call module methods from a controller by “requiring my module into”
my controller (note that I am not doing a mixin), then it appears that I
have to define the module methods as class methods, e.g.
def self.xyz
in order to access them via the module name.
Why is this necessary if a module isn’t a class?
It’s a little confusing because in the Pickaxe book, it looks like you
can just define module methods with
def xyz
and then access them via ModuleName.xyz.
Is Rails adding a restriction here or am I misunderstanding something
fundamental?
Thanks,
Wes
