Overview

Wrapping a string in this class gives you a prettier way to test for equality. The value returned by Rails.env is wrapped in a StringInquirer object so instead of calling this:

Rails.env == 'production'

you can call this:

Rails.env.production?

BLANK_RE

Instance Attribute Summary

::String - Inherited

Instance Method Summary

::String - Inherited

#at	If you pass a single integer, returns a substring of one character at that position.
#camelcase	Alias for String#camelize.
#camelize	By default, `camelize` converts strings to UpperCamelCase.
#classify	Create a class name from a plural table name like ::Rails does for table names to models.
#constantize	`constantize` tries to find a declared constant with the name specified in the string.
#dasherize	Replaces underscores with dashes in the string.
#deconstantize	Removes the rightmost segment from the constant expression in the string.
#demodulize	Removes the module part from the constant expression in the string.
#ends_with?,
#exclude?	The inverse of `String#include?`.
#first	Returns the first character.
#foreign_key	Creates a foreign key name from a class name.
#from	Returns a substring from the given position to the end of the string.
#html_safe	Marks a string as trusted safe.
#humanize	Capitalizes the first word, turns underscores into spaces, and strips a trailing '_id' if present.
#in_time_zone	Converts String to a TimeWithZone in the current zone if Time.zone or Time.zone_default is set, otherwise converts ::String to a ::Time via String#to_time
#indent	Indents the lines in the receiver:
#indent!	Same as `indent`, except it indents the receiver in-place.
#inquiry	Wraps the current string in the `StringInquirer` class, which gives you a prettier way to test for equality.
#last	Returns the last character of the string.
#mb_chars	Multibyte proxy.
#parameterize	Replaces special characters in a string so that it may be used as part of a 'pretty' URL.
#pluralize	Returns the plural form of the word in the string.
#remove	Returns a new string with all occurrences of the patterns removed.
#remove!	Alters the string by removing all occurrences of the patterns.
#safe_constantize	`safe_constantize` tries to find a declared constant with the name specified in the string.
#singularize	The reverse of `pluralize`, returns the singular form of a word in a string.
#squish	Returns the string, first removing all whitespace on both ends of the string, and then changing remaining consecutive whitespace groups into one space each.
#squish!	Performs a destructive squish.
#starts_with?,
#strip_heredoc	Strips indentation in heredocs.
#tableize	Creates the name of a table like ::Rails does for models to table names.
#titlecase	Alias for String#titleize.
#titleize	Capitalizes all the words and replaces some characters in the string to create a nicer looking title.
#to	Returns a substring from the beginning of the string to the given position.
#to_date	Converts a string to a ::Date value.
#to_datetime	Converts a string to a ::DateTime value.
#to_time	Converts a string to a ::Time value.
#truncate	Truncates a given `text` after a given `length` if `text` is longer than `length`:
#truncate_words	Truncates a given `text` after a given number of words (`words_count`):
#underscore	The reverse of `camelize`.

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(method_name, *arguments) (private)

def method_missing(method_name, *arguments)
  if method_name[-1] == '?'
    self == method_name[0..-2]
  else
    super
