View Source Moar.String (Moar v1.60.0)

String-related functions.

Summary

Functions

Appends suffix to string unless string is blank according to Moar.Term.blank?/1.

Compares two strings, returning :lt, :eq, or :gt depending on whether the first arg is less than, equal to, or greater than the second arg. Accepts one or more functions that transform the inputs before comparison.

Compares two strings, returning true if the first arg is less than or equal to the second arg, or false if the first arg is greater than the second arg. Accepts one or more functions that transform the inputs before comparison. Useful for sorter functions like what is passed into Enum.sort/2.

Returns the number of leading spaces. Only considers "plain" spaces, not all unicode whitespace.

Dasherizes term. A shortcut to slug(term, "-").

Truncate s to max_length by replacing the middle of the string with replacement, which defaults to the single unicode character .

Creates a lorem ipsum string of length character_count.

Pluralizes a string.

Removes all whitespace following a backspace+v escape code.

Compares the two binaries in constant-time to avoid timing attacks. See: http://codahale.com/a-lesson-in-timing-attacks/.

Creates slugs like foo-bar-123 or foo_bar from various input types.

Trims spaces from the beginning and end of a string, and replaces consecutive whitespace characters with a single space.

Adds surrounder to the beginning and end of s.

Adds prefix to the beginning of s and suffix to the end.

Change the case of a string.

Converts a string to an integer. Returns nil if the argument is nil or empty string. Returns the argument without complaint if it is already an integer.

Like to_integer/1 but with options

Like String.trim/1 but returns nil if the argument is nil.

Truncates s at the last instance of at, causing the string to be at most limit characters.

Underscores term. A shortcut to slug(term, "_").

Unindents a string by finding the smallest indentation of the string, and removing that many spaces from each line. Only considers "plain" spaces, not all unicode whitespace.

Unindents a string by count spaces. Only considers "plain" spaces, not all unicode whitespace.

pluralize(count, singular, plural)

View Source
@spec pluralize(number(), binary(), binary() | function()) :: binary()

When count is -1 or 1, returns the second argument (the singular string).

Otherwise, returns the third argument (the pluralized string), or if the third argument is a function, calls the function with the singular string as an argument.

iex> Moar.String.pluralize(1, "fish", "fishies")
"fish"

iex> Moar.String.pluralize(2, "fish", "fishies")
"fishies"
