This code is based in part on the work done in Ruby to support infection as part of Ruby on Rails in the ActiveSupport's Inflector and Inflections classes. It was initally ported to Javascript by Ryan Schuft (ryan.schuft@gmail.com) in 2007 and now converted to AMD by Ryan Gasparini in 2013.
The code is available at http://code.google.com/p/inflection-js/
The basic usage is:
1. Include this script with RequireJS
2. Pass your string into any of the available methods
Currently implemented functions:
InflectionJS.pluralize(string) == String
renders a singular English language noun into its plural form
normal results can be overridden by passing in an alternative
InflectionJS.singularize(string) == String
renders a plural English language noun into its singular form
normal results can be overridden by passing in an alterative
InflectionJS.camelize(string) == String
renders a lower case underscored word into camel case
the first letter of the result will be upper case unless you pass true
also translates "/" into "::" (underscore does the opposite)
InflectionJS.underscore(string) == String
renders a camel cased word into words seperated by underscores
also translates "::" back into "/" (camelize does the opposite)
InflectionJS.humanize(string) == String
renders a lower case and underscored word into human readable form
defaults to making the first letter capitalized unless you pass true
InflectionJS.capitalize(string) == String
renders all characters to lower case and then makes the first upper
InflectionJS.dasherize(string) == String
renders all underbars and spaces as dashes
InflectionJS.titleize(string) == String
renders words into title casing (as for book titles)
InflectionJS.demodulize(string) == String
renders class names that are prepended by modules into just the class
InflectionJS.tableize(string) == String
renders camel cased singular words into their underscored plural form
InflectionJS.classify(string) == String
renders an underscored plural word into its camel cased singular form
InflectionJS.foreign_key(string) == String
renders a class name (camel cased singular noun) into a foreign key
defaults to seperating the class from the id with an underbar unless
you pass true
InflectionJS.ordinalize(string) == String
renders all numbers found in the string into their sequence like "22nd"
