How to implement Yes/No instead of Boolean for certain cases in Rails?

Question

I\'m a newb at programming but in my application I want certain cases to display \"yes\" or \"no\" instead of \"true\" or \"false\". I\'m not sure the best way to do this,

Answer 1

The simplest option to get setup is to create a helper method which you can put in the application helper.

# in app/helpers/application_helper.rb

def boolean_to_words(value)
  value ? "Yes" : "No"
end

This is analogous to many other Rails conversion helpers such as number_to_currency
