Inflector.js

This code is based in part on the work done in Ruby to support inflection as part of Ruby on Rails in the ActiveSupport Inflector and Inflections classes. It was initally ported to Javascript by Ryan Schuft (ryan.schuft@gmail.com) in 2007.

This version has been adapted by Toby Marsden from Inflection-JS available at http://code.google.com/p/inflection-js/. The aim is to provide inflections missing from Ember.String.

The basic usage is:

1. Include this script on your web page after Ember.js
2. Call functions on any String object in Javascript

If the Ember.EXTEND_PROTOTYPES flag has been set to false, the String prototypes will not be extended, and you will need to instead call the function on Inflector.String, e.g. Inflector.String.titleize("message_properties")

Currently implemented functions:

String.pluralize(plural) == String

• renders a singular English language noun into its plural form
• normal results can be overridden by passing in an alternative

String.singularize(singular) == String

• renders a plural English language noun into its singular form
• normal results can be overridden by passing in an alterative

String.humanize(lowFirstLetter) == String

• renders a lower case and underscored word into human readable form
• defaults to making the first letter capitalized unless you pass true

String.titleize() == String

• renders words into title casing (as for book titles)

String.tableize() == String

• renders camel cased singular words into their underscored plural form
