module Helpers #:nodoc:
# The TextHelper Module provides a set of methods for filtering, formatting
# and transforming strings that can reduce the amount of inline Ruby code in
# your views. These helper methods extend ActionView making them callable
# within your template files as shown in the following example which truncates
# the title of each post to 10 characters.
#
# <% @posts.each do |post| %>
# # post == 'This is my title'
# Title: <%= truncate(post.title, 10) %>
# <% end %>
# => Title: This is my...
module TextHelper
# The preferred method of outputting text in your views is to use the
# <%= "text" %> eRuby syntax. The regular _puts_ and _print_ methods
# do not operate as expected in an eRuby code block. If you absolutely must
# output text within a code block, you can use the concat method.
#
# <% concat "hello", binding %>
# is equivalent to using:
# <%= "hello" %>
def concat(string, binding)
eval("_erbout", binding).concat(string)

# If +text+ is longer than +length+, +text+ will be truncated to the length of
# +length+ and the last three characters will be replaced with the +truncate_string+.
