Normalizacion

This gem provides a Refinement for the String class. It adds String#normalize which transliterates non-ASCII characters using a static collation table. It also replaces whitespaces with - and optionally downcases the string value.

It is very similar to what ActiveSupport's #parameterize does, only more customizable (and without depending on ActiveSupport).

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'normalizacion'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install normalizacion

class YourClass
  using Normalizacion

  def to_s
    "Schöneberger Straße"
  end
end

YourClass.new.to_s # => "Schoenberger-Strasse"

• support custom collation hash
• support more special chars by default
• handle punctuation marks

• Uses Ruby 2.1 idioms: Keyword Arguments and Refinments
• Renamed gem

• Added #normalize! for in-place normalization
• Adds downcase option

• Normalization can now be customized via an options hash.
