README

Inflecta is a lightweight PHP 8.2+ string inflector that helps you convert between camelCase, snake_case, kebab-case, and title case while handling simple pluralization, singularization, and slug generation. It is perfect for REST APIs, CLI tooling, and framework-agnostic utilities that need consistent naming conventions.

Why Inflecta?

Zero dependencies and PSR-4 autoload ready.
Accurate delimiter normalization across spaces, underscores, and hyphens.
Case conversion helpers for camel, pascal, snake, constant, kebab, and title casing.
Simple pluralization and singularization rules for common English words.
Table/class naming helpers (classify, tableize) plus human-readable transformations and SEO-friendly slug creation.
