Today i would like to give some information on Rails api Truncate method.
I was looking for a method in my Ruby on Rails project which can truncate a string after some characters.. after searching I found 'truncate' method, which is a rails api method for truncating string in views.
So if you have string
str= "Hi, we are going to truncate any large string by this rails api method??" # 72 characters
the truncate method can be used in the view like this:
truncate(str, :length => 25)
and the result would be :
Hi, we are going to tr...
This was very useful since we had to write seprate ruby methods for truncating.
