Sentencify

With Sentencify, you can create sentences with array of Active Record objects. It supports I18n.

It is inspired by the to_sentence rails method.

Example : Tiste, John, Pierre, Lola and 3 others

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sentencify'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sentencify

Usage

Default

Considering that you have an User model with a login field:

In your controller:

def index
  @users = User.all
end

names = ['John', 'Doe']

In your index.html.erb view:

@users.sentencize(on: :login)

names.sentencize

It will display all your users by login with a default limit of 5.

You can change this value by passing a limit parameter as following: limit: 10
