Class: ActiveRecord::Core::InspectionMask

Enables more predictable duck-typing on String-like classes.

A string is blank if it’s empty or contains whitespaces only:

Returns true if string has utf_8 encoding.

If you pass a single integer, returns a substring of one character at that position.

Alias for String#camelize.

By default, camelize converts strings to UpperCamelCase.

Creates a class name from a plural table name like Rails does for table names to models.

constantize tries to find a declared constant with the name specified in the string.

Replaces underscores with dashes in the string.

Removes the rightmost segment from the constant expression in the string.

Removes the module part from the constant expression in the string.

Converts the first character to lowercase.

The inverse of String#include?.

Returns the first character.

Creates a foreign key name from a class name.

Returns a substring from the given position to the end of the string.

Marks a string as trusted safe.

Capitalizes the first word, turns underscores into spaces, and (by default) strips a trailing ‘_id’ if present.

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

Indents the lines in the receiver:

Same as indent, except it indents the receiver in-place.

Wraps the current string in the ::ActiveSupport::StringInquirer class, which gives you a prettier way to test for equality.

Returns the last character of the string.

Multibyte proxy.

Replaces special characters in a string so that it may be used as part of a ‘pretty’ URL.

Returns the plural form of the word in the string.

Returns a new string with all occurrences of the patterns removed.

Alters the string by removing all occurrences of the patterns.

safe_constantize tries to find a declared constant with the name specified in the string.

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

Returns the string, first removing all whitespace on both ends of the string, and then changing remaining consecutive whitespace groups into one space each.

Performs a destructive squish.

Strips indentation in heredocs.

Creates the name of a table like Rails does for models to table names.

Alias for String#titleize.

Capitalizes all the words and replaces some characters in the string to create a nicer looking title.

Returns a substring from the beginning of the string to the given position.

Converts a string to a ::Date value.

Converts a string to a ::DateTime value.

Converts a string to a ::Time value.

Truncates a given text to length truncate_to if text is longer than truncate_to:

Truncates text to at most truncate_to bytes in length without breaking string encoding by splitting multibyte characters or breaking grapheme clusters (“perceptual characters”) by truncating at combining characters.

Truncates a given text after a given number of words (words_count):

The reverse of camelize.

Converts the first character to uppercase.
