Instance Method Details

#underscore ⇒ Object

Makes an underscored, lowercase form from the expression in the string.

Changes ‘::’ to ‘/’ to convert namespaces to paths.

underscore('ActiveModel')         # => "active_model"
underscore('ActiveModel::Errors') # => "active_model/errors"

As a rule of thumb you can think of underscore as the inverse of #camelize, though there are cases where that does not hold:

camelize(underscore('SSLError'))  # => "SslError"
