Ruby on Rails: Converting "SomeWordHere" to "some word here"
ruby, ruby-on-rails
Solution
The methods underscore and humanize are designed for conversions between tables, class/package names, etc. You are better off using your own code to do the replacement to avoid surprises. See comments.
"SomeWordHere".underscore => "some_word_here"
"SomeWordHere".underscore.humanize => "Some word here"
"SomeWordHere".underscore.humanize.downcase => "some word here"
Problem
I know you can do something like: ``` "SomeWordHere".underscore.gsub("_", " ") ``` to get "some word here". I thought that might be a little too much for something so simple. Is there a more efficient way (maybe a built-in method?) to convert "SomeWordHere" to "some word here"?
