Overview

The string_date_time extension provides String instance methods for converting the strings to a date (e.g. String#to_date), allowing for backwards compatibility with legacy Sequel code.

Direct Known Subclasses

Sequel::LiteralString, Sequel::SQL::Blob

Defined Under Namespace

Class Method Details

.inflections {|Inflections| ... } ⇒ Object

Yield the Inflections module if a block is given, and return the Inflections module.

Yields:

# File 'lib/sequel/extensions/inflector.rb', line 96

def self.inflections
  yield Inflections if block_given?
  Inflections
end

Instance Method Details

#blank? ⇒ Boolean

Strings are blank if they are empty or include only whitespace

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

# File 'lib/sequel/extensions/blank.rb', line 33

def blank?
  strip.empty?
end

#camelize(first_letter_in_uppercase = :upper) ⇒ Object Also known as: camelcase

By default, camelize converts the string to UpperCamelCase. If the argument to camelize is set to :lower then camelize produces lowerCamelCase.

camelize will also convert ‘/’ to ‘::’ which is useful for converting paths to namespaces

Examples

"active_record".camelize #=> "ActiveRecord"
"active_record".camelize(:lower) #=> "activeRecord"
"active_record/errors".camelize #=> "ActiveRecord::Errors"
"active_record/errors".camelize(:lower) #=> "activeRecord::Errors"



111
112
113
114
115
 
# File 'lib/sequel/extensions/inflector.rb', line 111

def camelize(first_letter_in_uppercase = :upper)
  s = gsub(/\/(.?)/){|x| "::#{x[-1..-1].upcase unless x == '/'}"}.gsub(/(^|_)(.)/){|x| x[-1..-1].upcase}
  s[0...1] = s[0...1].downcase unless first_letter_in_uppercase == :upper
  s
end

#classify ⇒ Object

Singularizes and camelizes the string. Also strips out all characters preceding and including a period (“.”).

Examples

"egg_and_hams".classify #=> "EggAndHam"
"post".classify #=> "Post"
"schema.post".classify #=> "Post"



125
126
127
 
# File 'lib/sequel/extensions/inflector.rb', line 125

def classify
  sub(/.*\./, '').singularize.camelize
end

#constantize ⇒ Object

Constantize tries to find a declared constant with the name specified in the string. It raises a NameError when the name is not in CamelCase or is not initialized.

Examples

"Module".constantize #=> Module
"Class".constantize #=> Class

Raises:

  • (NameError) 


136
137
138
139
 
# File 'lib/sequel/extensions/inflector.rb', line 136

def constantize
  raise(NameError, "#{inspect} is not a valid constant name!") unless m = /\A(?:::)?([A-Z]\w*(?:::[A-Z]\w*)*)\z/.match(self)
  Object.module_eval("::#{m[1]}", __FILE__, __LINE__)
end

#dasherize ⇒ Object

Replaces underscores with dashes in the string.

Example

"puni_puni".dasherize #=> "puni-puni"



145
146
147
 
# File 'lib/sequel/extensions/inflector.rb', line 145

def dasherize
  gsub(/_/, '-')
end

#demodulize ⇒ Object

Removes the module part from the expression in the string

Examples

"ActiveRecord::CoreExtensions::String::Inflections".demodulize #=> "Inflections"
"Inflections".demodulize #=> "Inflections"



154
155
156
 
# File 'lib/sequel/extensions/inflector.rb', line 154

def demodulize
  gsub(/^.*::/, '')
end

#foreign_key(use_underscore = true) ⇒ Object

Creates a foreign key name from a class name. use_underscore sets whether the method should put ‘_’ between the name and ‘id’.

Examples

"Message".foreign_key #=> "message_id"
"Message".foreign_key(false) #=> "messageid"
"Admin::Post".foreign_key #=> "post_id"



165
166
167
 
# File 'lib/sequel/extensions/inflector.rb', line 165

def foreign_key(use_underscore = true)
  "#{demodulize.underscore}#{'_' if use_underscore}id"
end

#humanize ⇒ Object

Capitalizes the first word and turns underscores into spaces and strips _id. Like titleize, this is meant for creating pretty output.

Examples

"employee_salary" #=> "Employee salary"
"author_id" #=> "Author"



175
176
177
 
# File 'lib/sequel/extensions/inflector.rb', line 175

def humanize
  gsub(/_id$/, "").gsub(/_/, " ").capitalize
end

#lit(*args) ⇒ Object

Converts a string into a Sequel::LiteralString, in order to override string literalization, e.g.:

DB[:items].filter(:abc => 'def').sql #=>
  "SELECT * FROM items WHERE (abc = 'def')"

DB[:items].filter(:abc => 'def'.lit).sql #=>
  "SELECT * FROM items WHERE (abc = def)"

You can also provide arguments, to create a Sequel::SQL::PlaceholderLiteralString:

DB[:items].select{|o| o.count('DISTINCT ?'.lit(:a))}.sql #=>
  "SELECT count(DISTINCT a) FROM items"



201
202
203
 
# File 'lib/sequel/core_sql.rb', line 201

def lit(*args)
  args.empty? ? Sequel::LiteralString.new(self) : Sequel::SQL::PlaceholderLiteralString.new(self, args)
end

#pluralize ⇒ Object

Returns the plural form of the word in the string.

Examples

"post".pluralize #=> "posts"
"octopus".pluralize #=> "octopi"
"sheep".pluralize #=> "sheep"
"words".pluralize #=> "words"
"the blue mailman".pluralize #=> "the blue mailmen"
"CamelOctopus".pluralize #=> "CamelOctopi"

def pluralize
  result = dup
  Inflections.plurals.each{|(rule, replacement)| break if result.gsub!(rule, replacement)} unless Inflections.uncountables.include?(downcase)
  result
end

#singularize ⇒ Object

The reverse of pluralize, returns the singular form of a word in a string.

Examples

"posts".singularize #=> "post"
"octopi".singularize #=> "octopus"
"sheep".singluarize #=> "sheep"
"word".singluarize #=> "word"
"the blue mailmen".singularize #=> "the blue mailman"
"CamelOctopi".singularize #=> "CamelOctopus"

def singularize
  result = dup
  Inflections.singulars.each{|(rule, replacement)| break if result.gsub!(rule, replacement)} unless Inflections.uncountables.include?(downcase)
  result
end

#sql_expr ⇒ Object

Returns a copy of the object wrapped in a Sequel::SQL::StringExpression, allowing easy use of Sequel’s DSL:

"a".sql_expr + :a  # 'a' || a



107
108
109
 
# File 'lib/sequel/extensions/sql_expr.rb', line 107

def sql_expr
  Sequel::SQL::StringExpression.new(:NOOP, self)
end

#tableize ⇒ Object

Underscores and pluralizes the string.

Examples

"RawScaledScorer".tableize #=> "raw_scaled_scorers"
"egg_and_ham".tableize #=> "egg_and_hams"
"fancyCategory".tableize #=> "fancy_categories"

# File 'lib/sequel/extensions/inflector.rb', line 215

def tableize
  underscore.pluralize
end

#titleize ⇒ Object Also known as: titlecase

Capitalizes all the words and replaces some characters in the string to create a nicer looking title. Titleize is meant for creating pretty output.

titleize is also aliased as as titlecase

Examples

"man from the boondocks".titleize #=> "Man From The Boondocks"
"x-men: the last stand".titleize #=> "X Men: The Last Stand"
