convert url to readable string with ruby on rails

Question

I using impressionist gem for user activity and store url's to referrer. How i can convert url to readable string? Here what i mean:

saved url: http://example.com/index?book_id%5B%5D=35&lang_id%5B%5D=1&category_id=3

need convert to readable names and show on impressions view like: 'Book Name', 'Language', 'Category Name'

@Pavan This is a great gem, but is it helps me to show all id's from url as names in view? — Shulte

Yes. You can get the urls like http://example.com/index/rails/english/fremework — Pavan

@Pavan - Note that some of the id params are arrays though. — BroiSatse

You can go with:

uri = URI.parse('http://example.com/index?book_id%5B%5D=35&lang_id%5B%5D=1&category_id=3')
params = Rack::Utils.parse_nested_query u.query
#=> {"book_id"=>["35"], "lang_id"=>["1"], "category_id"=>"3"}

Now you are left with translating keys to readable name. Normally you could use humanize method, however it won't work as requested:

'book_id'.humanize #=> 'Book'

Most likely you will need to fall back onto I18n to handle the translation.
