StringPlus

Some stuff I like on Strings.

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

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

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

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

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

It also accepts nested constants, separated by -

  require "string_plus"
  
  module ExternalModule
    class InternalClass
      class InceptionedClass
        class DreamInsideADreamInsideADream; end
      end
    end
  end
  
  "external_module-internal_class-inceptioned_class-dream_inside_a_dream_inside_a_dream".constantize
  # => ExternalModule::InternalClass::InceptionedClass::DreamInsideADreamInsideADream

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'string_plus'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install string_plus

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.
