I’m looking for some thoughts (and +1’s!) on a patch (#713) that introduces two new Inflectors: Actionize and Parameterize.
http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/713-new-inflectors-actionize-and-parameterize
Actionize
Transforms a string in titleize() form to a string suitable for a action name
“Expense Report”.actionize # => “expense_report”
“My Totally Cool Action”.actionize # => “my_totally_cool_action”
@reports = [‘Expense Report’, ‘Employee Hours’]
@reports.each do |report_name|
link_to(report_name, “/reports/#{report_name.actionize}”)
end
=> "Expense Report
Parameterize
Replaces special characters in a string so that it may be used as part of a ‘pretty’ URL.
==== Examples
class Person
def to_param
“#{self.id}-#{self.name.parameterize}”
end
end
@person = Person.find(1)
=> #<Person id: 1, name: “Donald E. Knuth”>
<%= link_to(@person.name, person_path %>
=> Login
Thanks!
