如果有人需要在带空格的字符串中应用下划线，并且想要将它们转换为下划线，你可以使用这样的东西

'your String will be converted To underscore'.parameterize.underscore
#your_string_will_be_converted_to_underscore

或者直接使用.parameterize('_')，但请记住，这种方法是不推荐的

'your String will be converted To underscore'.parameterize('_')
#your_string_will_be_converted_to_underscore

Rails的ActiveSupport这样 使用以下方法向字符串中添加下划线:

class String
  def underscore
    self.gsub(/::/, '/').
    gsub(/([A-Z]+)([A-Z][a-z])/,'\1_\2').
    gsub(/([a-z\d])([A-Z])/,'\1_\2').
    tr("-", "_").
    downcase
  end
end

然后你可以做一些有趣的事情:

"CamelCase".underscore
=> "camel_case"

我想要这样:

class String

  # \n returns the capture group of "n" index
  def snakize
    self.gsub(/::/, '/')
    .gsub(/([a-z\d])([A-Z])/, "\1_\2")
    .downcase
  end

  # or

  def snakize
    self.gsub(/::/, '/')
    .gsub(/([a-z\d])([A-Z])/) do
      "#{$1}_#{$2}"
    end
    .downcase
  end

end

猴子补丁的字符串类。有些类以两个或多个大写字母开头。

看看Ruby Facets的蛇案

处理以下情况，如下所示:

"SnakeCase".snakecase         #=> "snake_case"
"Snake-Case".snakecase        #=> "snake_case"
"Snake Case".snakecase        #=> "snake_case"
"Snake  -  Case".snakecase    #=> "snake_case"

来自:https://github.com/rubyworks/facets/blob/master/lib/core/facets/string/snakecase.rb

class String

  # Underscore a string such that camelcase, dashes and spaces are
  # replaced by underscores. This is the reverse of {#camelcase},
  # albeit not an exact inverse.
  #
  #   "SnakeCase".snakecase         #=> "snake_case"
  #   "Snake-Case".snakecase        #=> "snake_case"
  #   "Snake Case".snakecase        #=> "snake_case"
  #   "Snake  -  Case".snakecase    #=> "snake_case"
  #
  # Note, this method no longer converts `::` to `/`, in that case
  # use the {#pathize} method instead.

  def snakecase
    #gsub(/::/, '/').
    gsub(/([A-Z]+)([A-Z][a-z])/,'\1_\2').
    gsub(/([a-z\d])([A-Z])/,'\1_\2').
    tr('-', '_').
    gsub(/\s/, '_').
    gsub(/__+/, '_').
    downcase
  end

  #
  alias_method :underscore, :snakecase

  # TODO: Add *separators to #snakecase, like camelcase.

end

接收器转换为蛇案:http://rubydoc.info/gems/extlib/0.9.15/String#snake_case-instance_method

这是DataMapper和Merb的支持库。(http://rubygems.org/gems/extlib)

def snake_case
  return downcase if match(/\A[A-Z]+\z/)
  gsub(/([A-Z]+)([A-Z][a-z])/, '\1_\2').
  gsub(/([a-z])([A-Z])/, '\1_\2').
  downcase
end

"FooBar".snake_case           #=> "foo_bar"
"HeadlineCNNNews".snake_case  #=> "headline_cnn_news"
"CNN".snake_case              #=> "cnn"

一行Ruby实现:

class String
   # ruby mutation methods have the expectation to return self if a mutation occurred, nil otherwise. (see http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/String.html#method-i-gsub-21)
   def to_underscore!
     gsub!(/(.)([A-Z])/,'\1_\2')
     downcase!
   end

   def to_underscore
     dup.tap { |s| s.to_underscore! }
   end
end

所以“SomeCamelCase”。To_underscore # =>"some_camel_case"
