Alias_method for static method

Borja_MartSSS_n · June 15, 2007, 11:38pm

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to create aliases for class methods,
as alias_method seems to work only for instance methods.
Thanks in advance

Class methods are singleton methods defined in a class’s singleton
class. So, to get into the right scope you would do:

class << YourClass

and then you can use alias and/or alias_method.
