How to override a method of a class from a gem in Rails?

Question

I need to override the behavior of the find method of a class from a gem.

This is the code in the gem:

module Youtube   class Display     attr_accessor :base     def find(id, options = {})       detailed = convert_to_number(options.delete(:detailed))       options[:detailed] = detailed unless detailed.nil?       base.send :get, "/get_youtube", options.merge(:youtube_id => id)     end   end end 

How do I override the above find method in my own YoutubeSearch Controller of my Rails Application?

   def find(id, options = {})     //Code here         end 

Answer 1

Create a .rb file in config/initializers directory with the following code:

Youtube::Display.class_eval do   def find(id, options = {})     # Code here        end end
