An Elixir library for handling word inflections.

## Getting Started

You can add Inflex as a dependency in your `mix.exs` file. Since it only requires Elixir and Erlang there are no other dependencies.

```elixir
def deps do
[
{:inflex, "~> 2.0.0"}
]
end
```

If you are not using [hex](http://hex.pm) you can add the dependency using the GitHub repository.

```elixir
def deps do
[
{:inflex, github: "nurugger07/inflex"}
]
end
```

Then run `mix deps.get` in the shell to fetch and compile the dependencies.

### Requirements

Although Inflex supports Elixir 1.6, which is [compatible](https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/compatibility-and-deprecations.html#compatibility-between-elixir-and-erlang-otp) with Erlang/OTP 19–20, [Inflex requires Erlang/OTP 20+](https://github.com/nurugger07/inflex/blob/master/lib/inflex/parameterize.ex#L21).

To incorporate Inflex in your modules, use `import`.

```elixir
defmodule Blog do
import Inflex

def greeting(count), do: "You are the #{ordinalize(count)} visitor!"

end
```

## Examples

### Singularize & Pluralize

Here are some basic examples from `iex`:

```elixir

iex(1)> Inflex.singularize("dogs")
"dog"

iex(2)> Inflex.pluralize("dog")
"dogs"

iex(3)> Inflex.singularize("people")
"person"

iex(4)> Inflex.pluralize("person")
"people"
```

Some other special cases are handled for nouns ending in -o and -y

```elixir
iex(1)> Inflex.pluralize("piano")
"pianos"

iex(2)> Inflex.pluralize("hero")
"heroes"

iex(3)> Inflex.pluralize("butterfly")
"butterflies"

iex(4)> Inflex.pluralize("monkey")
"monkeys"
```

### Inflect

```elixir
iex(1)> Inflex.inflect("child", 1)
"child"

iex(2)> Inflex.inflect("child", 2)
"children"
```

### Camelize & Pascalize

Inflex also camelizes or pascalizes strings and atoms.

```elixir
iex(1)> Inflex.camelize(:upper_camel_case)
"UpperCamelCase"

iex(2)> Inflex.camelize("pascal-case", :lower)
"pascalCase"
```

### Parameterize

Strings can be parameterized easily.

```elixir
iex(1)> Inflex.parameterize("String for parameter")
"string-for-parameter"

iex(2)> Inflex.parameterize("String with underscore", "_")
"string_with_underscore"
```

### Underscore

Makes an underscored, lowercase form from a string or atom.

```elixir
iex(1)> Inflex.underscore("UpperCamelCase")
"upper_camel_case"

iex(2)> Inflex.underscore("pascalCase")
"pascal_case"

iex(3)> Inflex.underscore(UpperCamelCase)
"upper_camel_case"

iex(4)> Inflex.underscore(:pascalCase)
"pascal_case"
```
