Instance Method Details

#dehumanize ⇒ Object

The inverse of ActiveSupport::Inflection#humanize: Lowercases the first letter, and turns spaces into underscores. This is meant to assist in creating method names. A camelCase method name can be created using #dehumanize:

"say_hello_to_the_world".camelize.dehumanize  # => "sayHelloToTheWorld"

This can also be used for creating permalinks:

"Say hello to the world".dehumanize           # => "say_hello_to_the_world"
