Tale Inflector

What is Tale Inflector?

Tale inflector bends strings into different naming styles. A common use-case would be the converting of class-names or property-names to table-names or titles to slugs for URLs.

It can also generate the plural or singular of a string or ordinalize numbers.

Installation

composer require talesoft/tale-inflector

Usage

use Tale\Inflector;

$inflector = new Inflector();

//Table generation
$inflector->inflect('ProductAttribute', ['tableize', 'pluralize']); //product_attributes
$inflector->inflect('someProperty', ['tableize']); //some_property

//Canonicalization / slugs
$inflector->inflect('Some title I inserted', ['canonicalize']); //some-title-i-inserted
$inflector->inflect('Was höre ich da?', ['canonicalize']); //was-hore-ich-da

//Or just use the static methods for quick access
Inflector::canonicalize('Some random title'); //some-random-title

class MyInflectionStrategy implements StrategyInterface
{
   public function inflect(string $string): string
