To simulate Rails' to_sentence
in your JavaScript application, you can use these few lines of CoffeeScript code:
joinSentence = (array) ->
if array.length > 1
array[0..-2].join(', ') + ', and ' + array[-1..]
else
array.join ', '
Examples:
> joinSentence(['cats', 'dogs', 'pandas'])
# => 'cats, dogs, and pandas'
^
> joinSentence(['llamas'])
# => 'llamas'
Here is some plain JavaScript, should you prefer that:
function joinSentence(array) {
if (array.length > 1) {
return array.slice(0, -1).join(', ') + ', and ' + array.slice(-1);
} else {
return array.join(', ');
}
};
