Credits

This gem is the cumulative effort of the Ruby community. It started with the extlib inflecto originated from active_support, then dm-core inflector originated from extlib. Later, inflecto was extracted from dm-core as a standalone inflector. Now, we resurrect inflecto and merged flexus, with some inflection rules from hanami-utils.

This is dry-inflector.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
