README
A multilingual inflector that transforms words from singular to plural, underscore to camel case, and formats strings in various ways. Inflections are localized, the default English inflections for pluralization, singularization, and uncountable words are kept in lib/Inflections/en.php.
Inflections are currently available for the following languages:
- English (
en
) - French (
fr
) - Norwegian Bokmal (
nb
) - Portuguese (
pt
) - Spanish (
es
) - Turkish (
tr
)
Installation
composer require icanboogie/inflector
Usage
These are some examples of the inflector with the en
locale (default).
<?php use ICanBoogie\Inflector; $inflector = Inflector::get(Inflector::DEFAULT_LOCALE); # or $inflector = Inflector::get('en'); # or $inflector = Inflector::get(); # pluralize $inflector->pluralize('post'); // "posts" $inflector->pluralize('child'); // "children" $inflector->pluralize('sheep'); // "sheep" $inflector->pluralize('words'); // "words" $inflector->pluralize('CamelChild'); // "CamelChildren" # singularize $inflector->singularize('posts'); // "post" $inflector->singularize('children'); // "child" $inflector->singularize('sheep'); // "sheep" $inflector->singularize('word'); // "word" $inflector->singularize('CamelChildren'); // "CamelChild" # camelize $inflector->camelize('active_model', Inflector::UPCASE_FIRST_LETTER); # or $inflector->camelize('active_model'); // 'ActiveModel' $inflector->camelize('active_model', Inflector::DOWNCASE_FIRST_LETTER); // 'activeModel' $inflector->camelize('active_model/errors'); // 'ActiveModel\Errors' $inflector->camelize('active_model/errors', Inflector::DOWNCASE_FIRST_LETTER); // 'activeModel\Errors' # underscore $inflector->underscore('ActiveModel'); // 'active_model' $inflector->underscore('ActiveModel\Errors'); // 'active_model/errors' $inflector->underscore('Less Active Phrase'); // 'less_active_phrase' $inflector->underscore('Number 1 Test'); // 'number_1_test' $inflector->underscore('Johnny5 Still Alive'); // 'johnny5_still_alive' $inflector->underscore('Lots of Spaces'); // 'lots_of_spaces' # humanize $inflector->humanize('employee_salary'); // "Employee salary" $inflector->humanize('author_id'); // "Author" # titleize $inflector->titleize('man from the boondocks'); // "Man From The Boondocks" $inflector->titleize('x-men: the last stand'); // "X Men: The Last Stand" $inflector->titleize('TheManWithoutAPast'); // "The Man Without A Past" $inflector->titleize('raiders_of_the_lost_ark'); // "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" # ordinal $inflector->ordinal(1); // "st" $inflector->ordinal(2); // "nd" $inflector->ordinal(1002); // "nd" $inflector->ordinal(1003); // "rd" $inflector->ordinal(-11); // "th" $inflector->ordinal(-1021); // "st" # ordinalize $inflector->ordinalize(1); // "1st" $inflector->ordinalize(2); // "2nd" $inflector->ordinalize(1002); // "1002nd" $inflector->ordinalize(1003); // "1003rd" $inflector->ordinalize(-11); // "-11th" $inflector->ordinalize(-1021); // "-1021st" # uncountable $inflector->is_uncountable("advice"); // true $inflector->is_uncountable("weather"); // true $inflector->is_uncountable("cat"); // false
Static interfaces are also available:
<?php namespace ICanBoogie; # Static inflector echo StaticInflector::pluralize('child'); // "children" echo StaticInflector::pluralize('genou', 'fr'); // "genoux" echo StaticInflector::singularize('lærere', 'nb'); // "lærer" echo StaticInflector::pluralize('üçgen', 'tr'); // "üçgenler" # Helper functions echo pluralize('child'); // "children" echo pluralize('genou', 'fr'); // "genoux" echo singularize('lærere', 'nb'); // "lærer" echo pluralize('üçgen', 'tr'); // "üçgenler"
Warning
Since v3.0 the file with the helper functions is no longer included in the
autoload.
You need to include the file vendor/icanboogie/inflector/lib/helpers.php
in your composer.json
if you want to continue using these functions.
About inflections
Inflections are localized, the configurators are kept in lib/Inflections/.
Tip
Since v2.1, these configurators are autoloaded classes, which means, in theory, you could add your
own or overwrite those already defined by specifying another ICanBoogie\\Inflections\\
in your
composer.json
file.
Acknowledgements
Most of the code and documentation was adapted from Ruby On Rails's Inflector and David Celis' inflections.
Significant differences:
- Better support of accented characters.
- The Ruby module separator
::
as been replaced by the PHP namespace separator\
. - The plural of "octopus" is "octopuses" (not "octopi"), the plural of "virus" is "viruses" (not viri), and the plural of "cow" is "cows" (not "kine").
- The following methods have been removed:
tableize
,classify
,demodulize
,constantize
,deconstantize
andforeign_key
. They can be easily implemented in specific inflectors. - Added the
hyphenate
method, which is a combination ofunderscore
anddasherize
. - One specifies
true
rather thanfalse
tocamelize()
to downcase the first letter of the camel-cased string.
Getting started
Inflector expects to work in UTF-8, which is the default encoding character set starting
PHP 5.6, if your configuration is different, use mb_internal_encoding()
as follows:
<?php namespace ICanBoogie; // … mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8'); titleize("été_aux_âmes_inouïes"); // Été Aux Âmes Inouïes
