This is a simple word pluralizer and singularizer npm package. It allows for the conversion of singular words to their plural forms and vice versa. It also handles irregular and uncountable words. One of the key features of this package is that it allows you to create your own rules for words that may not be handled out of the box.
Please note that this package is intended to be used for educational purposes only.
To install the package, use the following npm command:
npm install word-pluralizer
First, import the module in your JavaScript file:
const {pluralize, singularize} = require('word-pluralizer');
Then, use the following functions to convert words:
pluralize('person'); // returns 'people'
singularize('people'); // returns 'person'
You can also add custom rules. You can do the following:
const {plural, singular, irregular, uncountable} = require('word-pluralizer');
The plural function takes in a regular expression and a replacement string. The regular expression is used to match the word to be pluralized. The replacement string is used to replace the matched word.
plural(/(quiz)$/i, '$1zes');
plural(/^(ox)$/i, '$1en');
The singular function takes in a regular expression and a replacement string. The regular expression is used to match the word to be singularized. The replacement string is used to replace the matched word.
singular(/(quiz)zes$/i, '$1');
singular(/^(ox)en/i, '$1');
The irregular function takes in a singular word and its plural form.
irregular('person', 'people');
irregular('man', 'men');
The uncountable function takes in a word that is uncountable.
uncountable('money');
uncountable('rice');
