Is it possible to make an alias for a module in Ruby?
In Python, you can set an alias for a module with 'as': import mymodule as mm But I can't seem to find an equivalent for ruby. I know that you can include rather than require a module, but this risks namespace collisions. Is there any equivalent to Python module aliases? Modules in Ruby aren't really that special, so you can just assign them to another constant: [4] (pry) main: 0> module TestModule [4] (pry) main: 0* def self.foo [4] (pry) main: 0* "test" [4] (pry) main: 0* end [4] (pry) main: 0* end => nil [5] (pry) main: 0> tm = TestModule => TestModule [6] (pry) main: 0> tm.foo => "test"
