classify() for alternating rows, columns, etc.
I often want different rows in a table to alternate in color, and I do this by assigning each row a class name and styling it with CSS. This is a simple helper method designed to return a class name based on the given row count.
It is also convenient for me to assign a class to table cells based on the type of content they hold. For example, if I have a cell with a float value in it, I want to display it with a monospace font, whereas if I have a cell with a string in it, I want to display it in a serif font.
Example usage with alternating 'even'/'odd' row class names:

# Determines the CSS class based on either the count given # (returns 'even' or 'odd' as the CSS class name) or the class # given (returns the string version of the class, lowercased, # as the CSS class name) def classify( count_or_class, include_class_text = true ) if count_or_class.class == Fixnum value = ( count_or_class % 2 == 0 ? 'even' : 'odd' ) else value = count_or_class.to_s.downcase end if include_class_text 'class="' << value << '"' else value end end
Example usage with alternating 'even'/'odd' row class names:
<table> <% count = 0 %> <% @collection.each do |value| %> <tr <%= classify( count ) %>> <td><%=h value %></td> </tr> <% count += 1 %> <% end %> </table>
Example usage with data type class names:
<tr> <% @columns.each do |column| %> <% data = row.send( column.name ) %> <td <%= classify( data.class ) %>> <%=h data %> </td> <% end %> </tr>
