symfony/inflector v5.4.21

The Symfony/Inflector package is a powerful tool that converts words between their singular and plural forms, exclusively for the English language. It provides developers an easy way to manage the variations in terms used in their codes.

In order to use the Symfony/Inflector, you'd typically first need to install it via Composer using the command composer require symfony/inflector. After successful installation, you can incorporate it into your project with a standard PHP require statement like require 'vendor/autoload.php; Within your code, you can utilize the functionality of the Inflector as follows:

use Symfony\Component\String\Inflector\EnglishInflector;

$inflector = new EnglishInflector();

$pluralizedWords = $inflector->pluralize('car');

In the example code above, you first import the EnglishInflector class from the Symfony Inflector component. Next, an instance of the EnglishInflector class is created and assigned to the variable $inflector. Finally, the pluralize function of the EnglishInflector instance is invoked and passed the word 'car' to exemplify the Inflector in action. This would return an array with 'cars' as its value.

Please note that this package is deprecated since Symfony version 5.1. You're recommended to use the String component EnglishInflector instead.

The Symfony/Inflector doesn't have its own dedicated docs. For general guidance on Symfony component usage and contributing to the project, you can refer to the Symfony official documentation. Should you come across any issues with the Inflector or wish to propose improvements, make sure to report them or send Pull Requests in the main Symfony repository.
