'css-class-name'.decamelize(); // 'css-class-name'
'my favorite items'.decamelize(); // 'my favorite items'
Parameters:
-
str
StringThe string to decamelize.
Returns:
the decamelized string.
fmt
-
str
-
formats
Apply formatting options to the string. This will look for occurrences of "%@" in your string and substitute them with the arguments you pass into this method. If you want to control the specific order of replacement, you can add a number after the key as well to indicate which argument you want to insert.
Ordered insertions are most useful when building loc strings where values you need to insert may appear in different orders.
"Hello %@ %@".fmt('John', 'Doe'); // "Hello John Doe"
"Hello %@2, %@1".fmt('John', 'Doe'); // "Hello Doe, John"
Parameters:
-
str
StringThe string to format
-
formats
ArrayAn array of parameters to interpolate into string.
Returns:
formatted string
htmlSafe
()
Handlebars.SafeString
static
Mark a string as safe for unescaped output with Handlebars. If you return HTML from a Handlebars helper, use this function to ensure Handlebars does not escape the HTML.
Ember.String.htmlSafe('<div>someString</div>')
Returns:
a string that will not be html escaped by Handlebars
loc
-
str
-
formats
Formats the passed string, but first looks up the string in the localized
strings hash. This is a convenient way to localize text. See
Ember.String.fmt()
for more information on formatting.
Note that it is traditional but not required to prefix localized string keys with an underscore or other character so you can easily identify localized strings.
Ember.STRINGS = {
'_Hello World': 'Bonjour le monde',
'_Hello %@ %@': 'Bonjour %@ %@'
};
Ember.String.loc("_Hello World"); // 'Bonjour le monde';
Ember.String.loc("_Hello %@ %@", ["John", "Smith"]); // "Bonjour John Smith";
Parameters:
-
str
StringThe string to format
-
formats
ArrayOptional array of parameters to interpolate into string.
Returns:
formatted string
underscore
-
str
More general than decamelize. Returns the lower_case_and_underscored form of a string.
'innerHTML'.underscore(); // 'inner_html'
'action_name'.underscore(); // 'action_name'
'css-class-name'.underscore(); // 'css_class_name'
'my favorite items'.underscore(); // 'my_favorite_items'
Parameters:
-
str
StringThe string to underscore.
Returns:
the underscored string.
w
-
str
Splits a string into separate units separated by spaces, eliminating any
empty strings in the process. This is a convenience method for split that
is mostly useful when applied to the String.prototype
.
Ember.String.w("alpha beta gamma").forEach(function(key) {
console.log(key);
});
// > alpha
// > beta
// > gamma
Parameters:
-
str
StringThe string to split
Returns:
array containing the split strings
