What's this?

camelize(lower_case_and_underscored_word, first_letter_in_uppercase = true) public

By default, camelize converts strings 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"

  def camelize(lower_case_and_underscored_word, first_letter_in_uppercase = true)
    if first_letter_in_uppercase
      lower_case_and_underscored_word.to_s.gsub(/\/(.?)/) { "::#{$1.upcase}" }.gsub(/(?:^|_)(.)/) { $1.upcase }
    else
      lower_case_and_underscored_word.first + camelize(lower_case_and_underscored_word)[1..-1]
    end
