SimpleInflector class

SimpleInflector is a class to pluralize/singularize strings in standard English.

It implements the InflectorInterface interface, which defines the methods to pluralize/singularize strings; besides, it provides two additional methods to check if a string is plural or singular.

The exposed methods are: pluralize, singularize, isPlural and isSingular.

use Susina\Utils\Inflector\SimpleInflector;

$inflector = new SimpleInflector();

$var = $inflector->pluralize('cat'); // cats
$var = $inflector->pluralize('dog'); // dogs
$var = $inflector->pluralize('child'); // children
$var = $inflector->pluralize('person'); // people
$var = $inflector->pluralize('apples'); // apples (already plural, returns the same string)

use Susina\Utils\Inflector\SimpleInflector;

$inflector = new SimpleInflector();

$var = $inflector->singularize('cats'); // cat
$var = $inflector->singularize('dogs'); // dog
$var = $inflector->singularize('children'); // child
$var = $inflector->singularize('people'); // person
$var = $inflector->singularize('apricot'); // apricot (already singular, returns the same string)
