This repository is a fork from http://code.google.com/p/inflection-js/
This project is a port of the functionality from Ruby on Rails' Active Support Inflection classes into Javascript. Instead of supporting the functionality in a new Inflector object, I've chosen to extend the Javascript String object.
This was ported initially to support plurality in Jester (http://thoughtbot.com/projects/jester).
If anyone requires a different license in order to use this, please let me know and I can switch it over. I intend for this to be generally available for anyone's usage, and am not intentionally limiting it.
Currently supported:
String.pluralize(plural) == String
//renders a singular English language noun into its plural form
//normal results can be overridden by passing in an alternative
String.singularize(singular) == String
//renders a plural English language noun into its singular form
//normal results can be overridden by passing in an alterative
String.camelize(lowFirstLetter) == 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)
String.underscore() == String
//renders a camel cased word into words seperated by underscores
//also translates "::" back into "/" (camelize does the opposite)
String.humanize(lowFirstLetter) == String
//renders a lower case and underscored word into human readable form
//defaults to making the first letter capitalized unless you pass true
String.capitalize() == String
//renders all characters to lower case and then makes the first upper
String.dasherize() == String
//renders all underbars and spaces as dashes
String.titleize() == String
//renders words into title casing (as for book titles)
String.demodulize() == String
//renders class names that are prepended by modules into just the class
String.tableize() == String
//renders camel cased singular words into their underscored plural form
String.classify() == String
//renders an underscored plural word into its camel cased singular form
String.foreign_key(dropIdUbar) == 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
String.ordinalize() == String
//renders all numbers found in the string into their sequence like "22nd"
