StringInflection

A yet another Ruby library for string inflection.

• No more Active Support in your Gemfiles/gemspecs only for inflection.
• A clean way - the Ruby's refinement.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'string_inflection'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install string_inflection

require "string_inflection"
using StringInflection

'foo bar'.to_camel # 'fooBar'
'foo bar'.to_kebab # 'foo-bar'
'foo bar'.to_pascal # 'FooBar'
'foo bar'.to_snake # 'foo_bar'
'data'.to_singular # 'datum'
'child'.to_plural # 'children'

With the :up option, #to_singular / #to_plural replaces a string with upper case letters.

'DATA'.to_singular(up: true) # 'DATUM'
'CHILD'.to_plural(up: true) # 'CHILDREN'

Note: :up affects only a replaced substring.

'data'.to_singular(up: true) # 'datUM'
'child'.to_plural(up: true) # 'childREN'

For performance improvement, the inflection methods are separated into several modules. Use ones of the modules as needed.

The handy database by Kevin Atkinson and other authors is significantly useful to generate irregular singular/plural forms. You can see the license in README.
