StringPlus

Some stuff I like on Strings.

Methods added

#camelcase

Convert a space/underscore-separated String into camel case.

require "string_plus"
"hello_cool_world".camelcase
# => "HelloCoolWorld"

#lcamelcase

Convert a space/underscore-separated String into lower camel case.

require "string_plus"
"hello_cool_world".lcamelcase
# => "helloCoolWorld"

#constantize

Convert a string into a constant.

Acknowledgments:

  • The String will be first camel-cased.
  • You're not creating a Constant, but retrieving it. So, if it doesn't already exist, it will raise an error.
require "string_plus"
"basic_object".constantize
# => BasicObject

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'string_plus'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install string_plus

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release to create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
