inflector.rb

require 'singleton'

# The Inflector transforms words from singular to plural, class names to table names, modularized class names to ones without,
# and class names to foreign keys. The default inflections for pluralization, singularization, and uncountable words are kept
# in inflections.rb.
#
# The Rails core team has stated patches for the inflections library will not be accepted
# in order to avoid breaking legacy applications which may be relying on errant inflections.
# If you discover an incorrect inflection and require it for your application, you'll need
# to correct it yourself (explained below).
module Inflector
  # A singleton instance of this class is yielded by Inflector.inflections, which can then be used to specify additional
  # inflection rules. Examples:
  #
  #   Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
  #     inflect.plural /^(ox)$/i, '\1\2en'
  #     inflect.singular /^(ox)en/i, '\1'
  #
  #     inflect.irregular 'octopus', 'octopi'
  #
  #     inflect.uncountable "equipment"
  #   end
  #
  # New rules are added at the top. So in the example above, the irregular rule for octopus will now be the first of the
  # pluralization and singularization rules that is runs. This guarantees that your rules run before any of the rules that may
  # already have been loaded.
