Inflections can be localized. The `Inflector` class is prepopulated with english inflections for singularization and pluralization to be ready to use. ### Usage [](#usage) #### Examples of usage of the inflector with the `'default'` locale (i.e english): [](#examples-of-usage-of-the-inflector-with-the-default-locale-ie-english) ``` use Lead\Inflector\Inflector; # pluralize Inflector::pluralize('post'); // "posts" Inflector::pluralize('posts'); // "posts" Inflector::pluralize('child'); // "children" Inflector::pluralize('ContactPerson'); // "ContactPeople" # singularize Inflector::singularize('posts'); // "post" Inflector::singularize('children'); // "child" Inflector::singularize('ContactPeople'); // "ContactPerson" # transliterate Inflector::transliterate('の話が出たので大丈夫かなあと'); // "no huaga chutanode da zhang fukanaato" # slug Inflector::slug('Foo:Bar & Cie'); // "Foo-Bar-Cie" Inflector::slug('Foo:Bar & Cie', '_'); // "Foo_Bar_Cie" # parameterize Inflector::parameterize('Foo:Bar & Cie'); // "foo-bar-cie" Inflector::parameterize('Foo:Bar & Cie', '_'); // "foo_bar_cie" # camelize Inflector::camelize('test_field'); // "TestField" Inflector::camelize('TEST_FIELD'); // "TestField" Inflector::camelize('my_name\space'); // "MyName\Space" # camelback Inflector::camelback('test_field'); // "testField" Inflector::camelback('TEST_FIELD'); // "testField" # underscore Inflector::underscore('TestField'); // "test_field" Inflector::underscore('MyName\Space'); // "my_name\space" Inflector::underscore('dashed-string'); // "dashed_string" # dasherize Inflector::dasherize('underscored_string'); // "underscored_string" # 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" ``` \#### Examples of usage of custom locales: ``` namespace inflector\Inflector; Inflector::pluralize('child'); // "children" //Load custom definition for `'zz'` locale using a closure Inflector::singular('/x$/i', '', 'zz'); Inflector::plural('/([^x])$/i', '\1x', 'zz'); Inflector::singularize('abcdefx', 'zz'); // "abcdef" Inflector::pluralize('abcdef', 'zz'); // "abcdefx" ``` If you wan't to use an other language by default for inflections, you can override the `'default'` rules directly. ``` Inflector::reset(true); // Remove all loaded inflection rules. Inflector::singular('/x$/i', '', 'default'); Inflector::plural('/([^x])$/i', '\1x', 'default'); Inflector::singularize('abcdefx'); // "abcdef" Inflector::pluralize('abcdef'); // "abcdefx" ``` Note: you can check [spec/fixture](https://github.com/crysalead/inflector/tree/master/spec/fixture) for some examples of inflection rules for spanish and french languages. ### Requirement [](#requirement) Requires PHP >= 5.4 and the PECL intl extension. ``` sudo apt-get install php-intl ``` ### Installation with Composer [](#installation-with-composer) The recommended way to install this package is through [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/).
