[DDC-2160] Smart Pluralize/Singularize support for Doctrine/Common/Util/Inflector

[jbergler]

Doctrine/ORM/Tools/EntityGenerator should pluralize/signularize correctly.

This PR adds functionality to Doctrine/Common/Util/Inflector to singularize/pluralize. The code is largely borrowed from a similar class in the CakePHP project - I'm not sure if the updates to the class doc covers the requirements for this.

Test coverage also added.

Hello,

thank you for positing this Pull Request. I have automatically opened an issue on our Jira Bug Tracker for you with the details of this Pull-Request. See the Link:

http://doctrine-project.org/jira/browse/DCOM-147

[jbergler]

I am updating the pull request for Doctrine/ORM/Tools/EntityGenerator upstream to use this functionality

[stof]

Please remove it. A file containing a class definition should contain only the class

[beberlei]

Awesome, can you change the protected to private? This class can reastically not be overwritten, lets not make people hopes :-)

[jbergler]

Done

How about making this a dedicated composer package which we can just reference?

There is no point in each project coming up with own inflectors, no?

@schmittjoh the problem is, again, all the non-composer folks.

[schmittjoh]

@Ocramius, if they exists, let them voice their concern, but we cannot stay in the past forever.

[Ocramius]

@schmittjoh I'm all for deprecating all that stuff, we are just forced to keep BC until 3.x.

[schmittjoh]

Regarding BC that should be easy here as these are all new features.

[beberlei]

@schmittjoh i haven't actually thought about this, i suppose a dedicated component for this would be pretty nice. I started an internal inquiry if we should drop PEAR support for 2.4

[beberlei]

We will drop PEAR support for 2.4, and will start moving parts out of Common into their own subprojects.

[beberlei]

I will merge this for now, then start extracting it.

That's great news!

Thanks for the swift response.
