Add conditional class names

If you want to conditionally add class names in Rails, here is a clean way to do it.

<%= link_to("Some Page", some_path, 
  class: class_names("bg-black text-black", {"text-white": text_visible?})
%>

This takes advantage of the class_names method, which is just an alias for the token_list method.

I always find myself looking up his TIL and figured if I make it myself it will help me retain it. 😅
