inflector

String transformation utilities for converting between naming conventions.

Interface

this.inflector.camelize(string)      // userName
this.inflector.pascalize(string)     // UserName
this.inflector.snakeify(string)      // user_name
this.inflector.dasherize(string)     // user-name
this.inflector.pluralize(string)     // users
this.inflector.singularize(string)   // user
this.inflector.capitalize(string)    // User name
this.inflector.uncapitalize(string)  // user Name
this.inflector.titleize(string)      // User Name
this.inflector.humanize(string)      // User name

this.inflector.inflect(value, ...steps)  // Chain multiple transformations

Description

The inflector service transforms strings between different naming conventions used in programming. It handles path separators intelligently, processing each segment individually while preserving the path structure.

Examples

Case Transformations

this.inflector.camelize('user_name')       // 'userName'
this.inflector.pascalize('user_name')      // 'UserName'
this.inflector.snakeify('userName')        // 'user_name'
this.inflector.dasherize('userName')       // 'user-name'
this.inflector.titleize('user_name')       // 'User Name'
this.inflector.humanize('user_name')       // 'User name'

Pluralization

this.inflector.pluralize('user')           // 'users'
this.inflector.pluralize('person')         // 'people'
this.inflector.pluralize('child')          // 'children'
this.inflector.singularize('users')        // 'user'
this.inflector.singularize('people')       // 'person'

Chained Transformations

// Apply multiple transformations in sequence
this.inflector.inflect('MyServiceName', 'snakeify', 'pluralize')
// Result: 'my_service_names'

this.inflector.inflect('user-profile', 'camelize', 'capitalize')
// Result: 'UserProfile'

Path Handling

// Paths are processed segment by segment
this.inflector.snakeify('admin/UserService')   // 'admin/user_service'
this.inflector.camelize('api/user_controller') // 'api/userController'

Notes

• All methods accept any value and convert it to a string before processing
• Path separators (/) are preserved during transformation
• Includes comprehensive English pluralization rules with irregular forms (person/people, child/children, etc.)
• Uncountable words (equipment, information, sheep) return unchanged
