Library for inflecting English words by pluralizing and singularizing them, including custom rule support. Includes methods to check word plurality. Direct port of pluralize library.

implementation("com.github.dsrees:inflekt:0.1.0")
This library provides extensions for pluralizing and singularizing English words. It also supports adding custom rules.
The singularize method can be used in place of pluralize with a count of 1.
"tests".singularize() // "test"
"tests".singularize(inclusive = true) // "1 test"
"feet".singularize() // "foot"
"Alumni".singularize() // "Alumnus"
In addition to the default rules, you can add your own custom rules. Rules can be defined as matching strings or custom Regex.
Inflekt provides helper methods to check if a word is pluralized or not.
"test".isPlural // false
"test".isSingular // true
Additional examples can be found the in tests.
This library is almost a direct port plurals/pluralize in
both API surface and functionality. If you're familiar with pluralize, then this should feel
familiar. Thanks to all who have contributed to that projected!
// Simple Examples
"test".pluralize() // "tests"
"test".pluralize(0) // "tests"
"test".pluralize(1) // "test"
"test".pluralize(5) // "tests"
"test".pluralize(1, inclusive = true) // "1 test"
"test".pluralize(5, inclusive = true) // "5 tests"
"蘋果".pluralize(2, inclusive = true) // "2 蘋果"
"foot".pluralize() // "feet"
"Alumnus".pluralize() // "Alumni"
// Example of new plural rule

Inflekt.addPluralRule(Regex("gex$", RegexOption.IGNORE_CASE), "gexii")
"regex".pluralize() // "regexii"
// Example of new singular rule
"singles".singularize() // "single"
Inflekt.addSingularRule(Regex("singles$", RegexOption.IGNORE_CASE), "singular")
"singles".singularize() // "singular"
// Example of new irregular rule, e.g. "I" -> "we"
"irregular".pluralize() // "irregulars"
Inflekt.addIrregularRule("irregular", "regular")
"irregular".pluralize() // regular
