Something like this?
>> "foo".blargNoMethodError: undefined method `blarg'' for "foo":String
        from (irb):6
        from :0>> class String
>>   def blarg
>>     "blarg"
>>   end
>> end
=> nil>> "foo".blarg=> "blarg"

Re: adding methods to native ruby class within rails

Ahh, I understand your question.

I have a private plugin I made for this sort of thing.  Just look up
how to make a very simple plug-in, and you''ll be set.  If you do that,
you can also maintain it and use it easily in other projects.

Re: adding methods to native ruby class within rails

I place the following in MyApp/lib/time_extensions.rb

class Time
  def beginning_of_hour
    self-(self.min).minutes-self.sec
  end
  def end_of_hour
    self.beginning_of_hour + 1.hour - 1.second
  end
  def beginning_of_minute
    self-self.sec
  end
  def end_of_minute
    self.beginning_of_minute + 1.minute - 1.second
  end
  def beginning_of(secs=5.minutes)
    return self if secs >= 1.day/2
    secs_today = self - self.beginning_of_day
    periods_today = (secs_today/secs).floor
    self.beginning_of_day + periods_today * secs
  end
  def end_of(secs=5.minutes)
    return self if secs >= 1.day/2
    beginning_of(secs) + secs - 1.second
  end
end
