Usage

require "wordsmith"

Wordsmith::Inflector.pluralize("word") # "words"
Wordsmith::Inflector.singularize("categories") # "category"
Wordsmith::Inflector.camelize("application_controller") # "ApplicationController"
Wordsmith::Inflector.underscore("CheeseBurger") # "cheese_burger"
Wordsmith::Inflector.humanize("employee_id") # "Employee"
Wordsmith::Inflector.titleize("amazon web services") # "Amazon Web Services"
Wordsmith::Inflector.tableize("User") # "users"
Wordsmith::Inflector.classify("users") # "User"
Wordsmith::Inflector.dasherize("post_office") # "post-office"
Wordsmith::Inflector.ordinalize(4) # "4th"
Wordsmith::Inflector.demodulize("Helpers::Mixins::User") # "User"
Wordsmith::Inflector.deconstantize("User::FREE_TIER_COMMENTS") # "User"
Wordsmith::Inflector.foreign_key("Person") # "person_id"
Wordsmith::Inflector.parameterize("Admin/product") # "admin-product"

Custom inflections

If something isn't pluralizing correctly, it's easy to customize.

# Place this in a config file like `config/inflectors.cr`
require "wordsmith"

# To pluralize a single string in a specific way
Wordsmith::Inflector.inflections.irregular("human", "humans")

# To stop Wordsmith from pluralizing a word altogether
Wordsmith::Inflector.inflections.uncountable("equipment")
