Define a class method in a module

Question

I mean, I want to create a class method in my module that will be used by the class who includes the module. They are in separated files.

You can extend the module in your class, your code should be like this:

module Base
  def all
    puts "All Users"
  end
end

class User
  extend Base
end

When you do something like this:

module MyModule
  def self.module_method
    puts "module!"
  end
end

You're actually adding the method in the module itself, you could call the previous method like this:

MyModule.module_method

There is a way to just include the module and get the behaviour that you want, but I don't think this could be considered the "way to go". Look at the example:

module Base
  def self.included(klass)
    def klass.all
      puts "all users"
    end
  end
end

class User
  include Base
end

But like I said, if you can go with the extend class method, it is a better suit.
