Yield the Inflections module if a block is given, and return the Inflections module.
# File lib/sequel/extensions/inflector.rb, line 96 96: def self.inflections 97: yield Inflections if block_given? 98: Inflections 99: end
Strings are blank if they are empty or include only whitespace
# File lib/sequel/extensions/blank.rb, line 33 33: def blank? 34: strip.empty? 35: end
By default, camelize converts the string to UpperCamelCase. If the argument to camelize is set to :lower then camelize produces lowerCamelCase.
camelize will also convert ’/’ to ’::’ which is useful for converting paths to namespaces
Examples
"active_record".camelize #=> "ActiveRecord" "active_record".camelize(:lower) #=> "activeRecord" "active_record/errors".camelize #=> "ActiveRecord::Errors" "active_record/errors".camelize(:lower) #=> "activeRecord::Errors"
# File lib/sequel/extensions/inflector.rb, line 111 111: def camelize(first_letter_in_uppercase = :upper) 112: s = gsub(/\/(.?)/){|x| "::#{x[-1..-1].upcase unless x == '/'}"}.gsub(/(^|_)(.)/){|x| x[-1..-1].upcase} 113: s[0...1] = s[0...1].downcase unless first_letter_in_uppercase == :upper 114: s 115: end
Singularizes and camelizes the string. Also strips out all characters preceding and including a period (".").
Examples
"egg_and_hams".classify #=> "EggAndHam" "post".classify #=> "Post" "schema.post".classify #=> "Post"
# File lib/sequel/extensions/inflector.rb, line 125 125: def classify 126: sub(/.*\./, '').singularize.camelize 127: end
Constantize tries to find a declared constant with the name specified in the string. It raises a NameError when the name is not in CamelCase or is not initialized.
Examples
"Module".constantize #=> Module "Class".constantize #=> Class
# File lib/sequel/extensions/inflector.rb, line 136 136: def constantize 137: raise(NameError, "#{inspect} is not a valid constant name!") unless m = /\A(?:::)?([A-Z]\w*(?:::[A-Z]\w*)*)\z/.match(self) 138: Object.module_eval("::#{m[1]}", __FILE__, __LINE__) 139: end
Replaces underscores with dashes in the string.
Example
"puni_puni".dasherize #=> "puni-puni"
# File lib/sequel/extensions/inflector.rb, line 145 145: def dasherize 146: gsub(/_/, '-') 147: end
Removes the module part from the expression in the string
Examples
"ActiveRecord::CoreExtensions::String::Inflections".demodulize #=> "Inflections" "Inflections".demodulize #=> "Inflections"
# File lib/sequel/extensions/inflector.rb, line 154 154: def demodulize 155: gsub(/^.*::/, '') 156: end
Creates a foreign key name from a class name. use_underscore sets whether the method should put ‘_’ between the name and ‘id’.
Examples
"Message".foreign_key #=> "message_id" "Message".foreign_key(false) #=> "messageid" "Admin::Post".foreign_key #=> "post_id"
# File lib/sequel/extensions/inflector.rb, line 165 165: def foreign_key(use_underscore = true) 166: "#{demodulize.underscore}#{'_' if use_underscore}id" 167: end
Capitalizes the first word and turns underscores into spaces and strips _id. Like titleize, this is meant for creating pretty output.
Examples
"employee_salary" #=> "Employee salary" "author_id" #=> "Author"
# File lib/sequel/extensions/inflector.rb, line 175 175: def humanize 176: gsub(/_id$/, "").gsub(/_/, " ").capitalize 177: end
Converts a string into a Sequel::LiteralString, in order to override string literalization, e.g.:
DB[:items].filter(:abc => 'def').sql #=> "SELECT * FROM items WHERE (abc = 'def')" DB[:items].filter(:abc => 'def'.lit).sql #=> "SELECT * FROM items WHERE (abc = def)"
You can also provide arguments, to create a Sequel::SQL::PlaceholderLiteralString:
DB[:items].select{|o| o.count('DISTINCT ?'.lit(:a))}.sql #=> "SELECT count(DISTINCT a) FROM items"
# File lib/sequel/extensions/core_extensions.rb, line 183 183: def lit(*args) 184: args.empty? ? Sequel::LiteralString.new(self) : Sequel::SQL::PlaceholderLiteralString.new(self, args) 185: end
Returns the plural form of the word in the string.
Examples
"post".pluralize #=> "posts" "octopus".pluralize #=> "octopi" "sheep".pluralize #=> "sheep" "words".pluralize #=> "words" "the blue mailman".pluralize #=> "the blue mailmen" "CamelOctopus".pluralize #=> "CamelOctopi"
# File lib/sequel/extensions/inflector.rb, line 188 188: def pluralize 189: result = dup 190: Inflections.plurals.each{|(rule, replacement)| break if result.gsub!(rule, replacement)} unless Inflections.uncountables.include?(downcase) 191: result 192: end
The reverse of pluralize, returns the singular form of a word in a string.
Examples
"posts".singularize #=> "post" "octopi".singularize #=> "octopus" "sheep".singluarize #=> "sheep" "word".singluarize #=> "word" "the blue mailmen".singularize #=> "the blue mailman" "CamelOctopi".singularize #=> "CamelOctopus"
# File lib/sequel/extensions/inflector.rb, line 203 203: def singularize 204: result = dup 205: Inflections.singulars.each{|(rule, replacement)| break if result.gsub!(rule, replacement)} unless Inflections.uncountables.include?(downcase) 206: result 207: end
Underscores and pluralizes the string.
Examples
"RawScaledScorer".tableize #=> "raw_scaled_scorers" "egg_and_ham".tableize #=> "egg_and_hams" "fancyCategory".tableize #=> "fancy_categories"
# File lib/sequel/extensions/inflector.rb, line 215 215: def tableize 216: underscore.pluralize 217: end
Capitalizes all the words and replaces some characters in the string to create a nicer looking title. Titleize is meant for creating pretty output.
titleize is also aliased as as titlecase
Examples
"man from the boondocks".titleize #=> "Man From The Boondocks" "x-men: the last stand".titleize #=> "X Men: The Last Stand"
# File lib/sequel/extensions/inflector.rb, line 227 227: def titleize 228: underscore.humanize.gsub(/\b([a-z])/){|x| x[-1..-1].upcase} 229: end
Converts a string into a Date object.
# File lib/sequel/extensions/string_date_time.rb, line 7 7: def to_date 8: begin 9: Date.parse(self, Sequel.convert_two_digit_years) 10: rescue => e 11: raise Sequel.convert_exception_class(e, Sequel::InvalidValue) 12: end 13: end
Converts a string into a DateTime object.
# File lib/sequel/extensions/string_date_time.rb, line 16 16: def to_datetime 17: begin 18: DateTime.parse(self, Sequel.convert_two_digit_years) 19: rescue => e 20: raise Sequel.convert_exception_class(e, Sequel::InvalidValue) 21: end 22: end
Returns a Sequel::SQL::Blob that holds the same data as this string. Blobs provide proper escaping of binary data.
# File lib/sequel/extensions/core_extensions.rb, line 189 189: def to_sequel_blob 190: ::Sequel::SQL::Blob.new(self) 191: end
Converts a string into a Time or DateTime object, depending on the value of Sequel.datetime_class
# File lib/sequel/extensions/string_date_time.rb, line 26 26: def to_sequel_time 27: begin 28: if Sequel.datetime_class == DateTime 29: DateTime.parse(self, Sequel.convert_two_digit_years) 30: else 31: Sequel.datetime_class.parse(self) 32: end 33: rescue => e 34: raise Sequel.convert_exception_class(e, Sequel::InvalidValue) 35: end 36: end
Converts a string into a Time object.
# File lib/sequel/extensions/string_date_time.rb, line 39 39: def to_time 40: begin 41: Time.parse(self) 42: rescue => e 43: raise Sequel.convert_exception_class(e, Sequel::InvalidValue) 44: end 45: end
The reverse of camelize. Makes an underscored form from the expression in the string. Also changes ’::’ to ’/’ to convert namespaces to paths.
Examples
"ActiveRecord".underscore #=> "active_record" "ActiveRecord::Errors".underscore #=> active_record/errors
# File lib/sequel/extensions/inflector.rb, line 238 238: def underscore 239: gsub(/::/, '/').gsub(/([A-Z]+)([A-Z][a-z])/,'\1_\2'). 240: gsub(/([a-z\d])([A-Z])/,'\1_\2').tr("-", "_").downcase 241: end
