A port of inflection-js to node.js module
inflection-js is a port of the functionality from Ruby on Rails' Active Support Inflection classes into Javascript. inflection is a port of inflection-js to node.js npm package. Instead of extending JavaScript native String object like inflection-js does, inflection separate the methods to a independent package to avoid unexpected behaviors.
Checkout package.json for dependencies.
Install inflection through npm
npm install inflection

Require the module before using
var inflection = require( 'inflection' );
This lets us detect if an Array contains a given element.
arr

type: Object
desc: Object to locate in the Array.
fromIndex
type: Number
desc: Starts checking from this position in the Array.(optional)
compareFunc
type: Function
desc: Function used to compare Array item vs passed item.(optional)
var inflection = require( 'inflection' );
inflection.indexOf([ 'hi','there' ], 'guys' ); // === -1
inflection.indexOf([ 'hi','there' ], 'hi' ); // === 0
This function adds pluralization support to every String object.
str
type: String
