How do I include a ruby gem's code into main rails project? -

is possible? there alternative methods?

thank you

you can "monkeypatching" specific methods. need create initializer overwrites method want modify. examplke create config/initializers/monkeypatch.rb , overwrite method:

class string   def inspect     puts "im monkeypatched!"   end end 

when create string , call inspect youll see method has been patched. should careful using monkeypatching because can have unwanted sideeffects, especally when patch basic classes string or fixnum class.
