public
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).
The trailing ‘_id’ can be kept and capitalized by setting the optional parameter keep_id_suffix to true (default is false).
humanize('employee_salary') # => "Employee salary" humanize('author_id') # => "Author" humanize('author_id', capitalize: false) # => "author" humanize('_id') # => "Id" humanize('author_id', keep_id_suffix: true) # => "Author Id"
If “SSL” was defined to be an acronym:
humanize('ssl_error') # => "SSL error"
