title: Ruby on Rails: How to store form data
body: <p>I have a state field that stores the value as 2 characters. For example, Alabama is saved as AL, Alaska is saved as AK, Arizona is saved as AZ, etc. In the show.html.erb, how do I display the long name for the state such as Alabama instead of just showing AL? Is this possible or should I just store the long name in the database such as Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, etc?</p>
