ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Module
alias_method_chain(target, feature)public
Encapsulates the common pattern of:
alias_method :foo_without_feature, :foo alias_method :foo, :foo_with_feature
With this, you simply do:
alias_method_chain :foo, :feature
And both aliases are set up for you.
Query and bang methods (foo?, foo!) keep the same punctuation:
alias_method_chain :foo?, :feature
is equivalent to
alias_method :foo_without_feature?, :foo? alias_method :foo?, :foo_with_feature?
so you can safely chain foo, foo?, and foo! with the same feature.
