monkey-patches¶ ↑

This is a set of commonly-used extensions to Ruby core classes, implemented using the Monkey monkeypatching framework.

The easiest way to use monkey-patches is to simply require the whole set of patches.

require 'monkey/patches'

Monkey.patch(Array, :blank?) { [].blank? }

Alternatively, you can require patches as-needed.

require 'monkey/patch/object/metaclass'

Monkey.patch(String, :metaclass) { "foo".metaclass }
