Introduction
============
The Doctrine Inflector has static methods for inflecting text.
The features include pluralization, singularization,
converting between camelCase and under_score and capitalizing
words.
All you need to use the Inflector is the ``Doctrine\Common\Inflector\Inflector``
class.
Installation
============
You can install the Inflector with composer:
.. code-block::
$ composer require doctrine/inflector
Here are the available methods that you can use:
Tableize
========
Converts ``ModelName`` to ``model_name``:
.. code-block:: php
echo Inflector::tableize('ModelName'); // model_name
Classify
========
Converts ``model_name`` to ``ModelName``:
.. code-block:: php
echo Inflector::classify('model_name'); // ModelName
Camelize
========
This method uses `Classify`_ and then converts the first character to lowercase:
.. code-block:: php
echo Inflector::camelize('model_name'); // modelName
ucwords
=======
Takes a string and capitalizes all of the words, like PHP's built-in
ucwords function. This extends that behavior, however, by allowing the
word delimiters to be configured, rather than only separating on
whitespace.
Here is an example:
.. code-block:: php
$string = 'top-o-the-morning to all_of_you!';
echo Inflector::ucwords($string); // Top-O-The-Morning To All_of_you!
echo Inflector::ucwords($string, '-_ '); // Top-O-The-Morning To All_Of_You!
Pluralize
=========
Returns a word in plural form.
.. code-block:: php
echo Inflector::pluralize('browser'); // browsers
Singularize
===========
.. code-block:: php
echo Inflector::singularize('browsers'); // browser
Rules
=====
Customize the rules for pluralization and singularization:
.. code-block:: php
Inflector::rules('plural', ['/^(inflect)or$/i' => '\1ables']);
Inflector::rules('plural', [
'rules' => ['/^(inflect)ors$/i' => '\1ables'],
'uninflected' => ['dontinflectme'],
'irregular' => ['red' => 'redlings']
]);
The arguments for the ``rules`` method are:
- ``$type`` - The type of inflection, either ``plural`` or ``singular``
- ``$rules`` - An array of rules to be added.
- ``$reset`` - If true, will unset default inflections for all new rules that are being defined in $rules.
Reset
=====
Clears Inflectors inflected value caches, and resets the inflection
rules to the initial values.
.. code-block:: php
Inflector::reset();
Slugify
=======
You can easily use the Inflector to create a slug from a string of text
by using the `tableize`_ method and replacing underscores with hyphens:
.. code-block:: php
public static function slugify(string $text) : string
{
return str_replace('_', '-', Inflector::tableize($text));
}
