Scrubba: Clean your strings!
Scrubba is a tiny gem to strip and normalize whitespace. It provides a few convenient methods for working with ActiveRecord/ActiveModel/ActiveAttr/ActiveNode attributes too.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'scrubba'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install scrubba
Usage
Standalone:
require "scrubba"
some_str = " foo \t bar "
Scrubba.scrub(some_str) #=> "foo \t bar"
Scrubba.normalize(some_str) #=> " foo bar "
In an ActiveRecord model:
require "scrubba"
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
extend Scrubba::ActiveMethods
strip :title, :body
normalize :title
end
