# frozen_string_literal: true require "active_support/multibyte" class String # == Multibyte proxy # # +mb_chars+ is a multibyte safe proxy for string methods. # # It creates and returns an instance of the ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars class which # encapsulates the original string. A Unicode safe version of all the String methods are defined on this proxy # class. If the proxy class doesn't respond to a certain method, it's forwarded to the encapsulated string. # # >> "lj".upcase # => "lj" # >> "lj".mb_chars.upcase.to_s # => "LJ" # # NOTE: An above example is useful for pre Ruby 2.4. Ruby 2.4 supports Unicode case mappings. # # == Method chaining # # All the methods on the Chars proxy which normally return a string will return a Chars object. This allows # method chaining on the result of any of these methods. # # name.mb_chars.reverse.length # => 12 # # == Interoperability and configuration # # The Chars object tries to be as interchangeable with String objects as possible: sorting and comparing between # String and Char work like expected. The bang! methods change the internal string representation in the Chars # object. Interoperability problems can be resolved easily with a +to_s+ call. # # For more information about the methods defined on the Chars proxy see ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars.
