require 'action_view/helpers/tag_helper' require 'html/document' module ActionView 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(ActionView::Base.erb_variable, binding) << string end # 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+. # # truncate("Once upon a time in a world far far away", 14) # => Once upon a... def truncate(text, length = 30, truncate_string = "...") if text.nil? then return end l = length - truncate_string.chars.length (text.chars.length > length ? text.chars[0...l] + truncate_string : text).to_s end # Highlights one or more +phrases+ everywhere in +text+ by inserting it into # a +highlighter+ string.
