module Normalizacion

Returns a new String based on pre-defined normalization rules

Available keyword options¶ ↑

• :downcase - convert to lower case (true|false, default: false)

• :strip - trim leading and trailing whitespaces (true|false, default: true)

• :replace_whitespaces - replace whitespaces within the string with str or set to false to leave whitespaces alone. Makes little sense w/o :strip => true (str|false, default: “-”)

Examples¶ ↑

"This is án exåmple".normalize
 => "This-is-an-example

"Tëst string with träiling whitespaces   ".normalize(:replace_whitespaces => false)
 => "Test string with traeiling whitespaces"

# File lib/normalizacion.rb, line 77
def normalize(downcase: false, strip: true, replace_whitespaces: '-')
  n_str = Normalizacion::COLLATION.inject(dup) {|str, (collate_from, collate_to)| str.gsub(collate_from, collate_to)}
  n_str.strip!    if strip
  n_str.downcase! if downcase
  n_str.gsub!(/\s+/, replace_whitespaces) if replace_whitespaces
  n_str
end

Performs the changes of Normalizacion::(String)normalize in place, returning the new string.

See normalize for the optional parameter hash.
