self.human_attribute_name(attribute_key_name, options = {}) — ActiveRecord::Base

self.human_attribute_name(attribute_key_name, options = {})

Transforms attribute key names into a more humane format, such as “First name” instead of “first_name”. Example:

Person.human_attribute_name("first_name") # => "First name"

This used to be depricated in favor of humanize, but is now preferred, because it automatically uses the I18n module now. Specify options with additional translating options.

Parameters

attribute_key_name req
options opt = {}
