ActiveSupport gives us the titleize method to create nice looking titles, but sometimes the result may not be what you excepted:
"GUIA DE SOBREVIVÊNCIA".titleize # => "Guia De SobrevivÊncia"
"órgão emissor".titleize # => "órgão Emissor"
"HTTP request".titleize # => "Http Request"Though this may not be hard to solve:
"GUIA DE SOBREVIVÊNCIA".mb_chars.titleize # => "Guia De Sobrevivência"
"órgão emissor".mb_chars.titleize # => "Órgão Emissor"
ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections { |inflect| inflect.acronym "HTTP" }
"HTTP request".titleize # => "HTTP Request"The titleize gem does some extra work to properly capitalize titles in English:
# ActiveSupport titleize method
"a lovely and talented title".titleize # => "A Lovely And Talented Title"
# Using the titleize gem
"a lovely and talented title".titleize # => "A Lovely and Talented Title"This gem is not nearly as advanced as the titleize gem but knows how to deal with unicode characters and titles in Portuguese:
"GUIA DE SOBREVIVÊNCIA".titleize_pt # => "Guia de Sobrevivência"
"proposta para uma directiva da UE".titleize_pt # => "Proposta para uma Directiva da UE"
"a lovely and talented title".titleize_locale(:en) # => "A Lovely and Talented Title"The gem requires ActiveSupport, so it's more suitable for Ruby on Rails projects. Add to your Gemfile and run bundle:
gem "titleize_pt"
