How about this for a solution.
The real problem seems to be that people want to format attributes
before they display them (credit card, phone number). So, how about we
allow that. Could be as simple as:
<%= text_field :person, :name, :formatter => :random -%>
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
def random(value)
value.upcase * 4
end
end
Thoughts?
