I am building a blog app. I'd like to be able to pluralize the word "article" if more than one "post" is "published."
Like so: Available Articles or Available Article
This is what I have....
Available <%= pluralize @posts.published, "Article" %>:
I've tried
Available <%= pluralize @posts.published.count, "Article" %>:
and that works...but I don't want the number. It shouldn't read Available 5 Articles....it should have no number.
I have been looking for the answer to this myself and wasn't satisfied with any of the existing ones. Here's the tidiest solution I found:
Available <%= "Article".pluralize(@posts.published.count) %>:
Documentation is here. Relevant bits:
Returns the plural form of the word in the string.
If the optional parameter count is specified, the singular form will be returned if count == 1. For any other value of count the plural will be returned. 'post'.pluralize # => "posts" 'apple'.pluralize(1) # => "apple" 'apple'.pluralize(2) # => "apples"
You could use Rails Internationalization (I18n) to accomplish this. In your config/data/en.yml
your translations would be something like this:
en:
available_articles:
zero: Available Article
one: Available Article
other: Available Articles
And in your view you should be able to get the translation like this:
<%= t(:available_articles, count: @posts.published.count) %>
Yes, I did that way I liked so much:
- if @post.comments.persisted.any?
h4
= t(:available_comments, count: @post.comments.count)
= render @post.comments.persisted
- else
p
| There are no comments for this post.
en:
available_comments:
one: "%{count} Comment"
other: "%{count} Comments"
