trobrock / rails-word_cloud-helper.rb

Created May 31, 2010 20:07

A helper for rails to create a tag cloud out a string of words (space delimited). Adapted the idea from here: http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/6027

	def word_cloud(words)
	wordcount = {}
	words.split(/\s/).each do \|word\|
	word.downcase!
	if word.strip.size > 0
	wordcount[word.strip] = (wordcount.key?(word.strip)) ? (wordcount[word.strip] + 1) : 0
	end
	end

	s = []

	return false unless left.nil? or left.is_bst?(min, value)
	return false unless right.nil? or right.is_bst?(value, max)
