I couldn’t find a helper in the API to just display months if you’re storing them as numbers (1-12) so I made one.
Add this helper code to your application_helper.rb or other appropriate *_helper.rb file.
def monthname(monthnumber) if monthnumber Date::MONTHNAMES[monthnumber] end end
Use it in your view like this:
< %=h monthname(item.month) %>
