Monkey Patching in Rails 3

Question

What is the preferred way to Monkey Patch in Rails 3?

I just want to add a method to the String class. I\'m more looking at where to place the file.

Answer 1

If it is class specific you could just re-define the method in the class you need it for. Otherwise, it totally depends on which part of the app you want to use your string method. As an example of opening a class to redefine a method: http://codepad.org/Cj1LHmQj but, you probably already knew you could do that.
