StringInflection
A yet another Ruby library for string inflection.
Benefits
- No more Active Support in your Gemfiles/gemspecs only for inflection.
- A clean way - the Ruby's refinement.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'string_inflection'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install string_inflection
Usage
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'
Refinement Modules
For performance improvement, the inflection methods are separated into several modules. Use ones of the modules as needed.
| module | methods |
|---|---|
| StringInflection::Cases | to_camel, to_kebab, to_pascal, to_snake |
| StringInflection::Singular | to_singular |
| StringInflection::Plural | to_plural |
| StringInflection | all the methods |
Special Thanks
Automatically Generated Inflection Database (AGID)
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.
