Capitalize both parts of a hyphenated word with Rails

Question

I'm trying to capitalize both parts of a hyphenated word with Rails:

"hello-world".capitalize
# => Hello-world

"hello-world".titleize
# => Hello World

Is there a quick way of doing this? If not then I will write a custom solution, I can figure that out, but I'm hoping there is some really quick and dirty method that can do this for me

Well, `#titelize` capitalizes both parts, doesn't it? Do you want to keep the hypen? — Sebastian vom Meer, May 19 '15 at 14:19

You can try titleize, but also add gsub

"hello-world".titleize.gsub(' ', '-')

It returns:

irb(main):006:0> "hello-world".titleize.gsub(' ', '-')
"Hello-World"

There isn't an inflector that will do what you want, but you can do this, which is quick and dirty:

'hello-world'.split('-').map(&:capitalize).join('-')

Thanks. Props for the `*'-'` at the end, didn't know about that! – stephenmurdoch May 19 '15 at 15:06
