humanize

Tweaks an attribute name for display to end users.

Specifically, performs these transformations:

• Applies human inflection rules to the argument.

• Deletes leading underscores, if any.

• Removes a “_id” suffix if present.

• Replaces underscores with spaces, if any.

• Downcases all words except acronyms.

• Capitalizes the first word.

The capitalization of the first word can be turned off by setting the :capitalize option to false (default is true).

humanize('employee_salary')              # => "Employee salary"
humanize('author_id')                    # => "Author"
humanize('author_id', capitalize: false) # => "author"
humanize('_id')                          # => "Id"

If “SSL” was defined to be an acronym:

humanize('ssl_error') # => "SSL error"
