The Inflection npm package is a transformative utility that can manipulate English strings into various forms such as plural, singular, camelCase, and others. With this package, you can take a string and apply different transformations, making it more versatile for use in coding projects. The Inflection package was originally inspired by "inflection-js", which itself was a port of functionality from Ruby on Rails' Active Support Inflection classes into Javascript.

How do you use inflection?

To use the Inflection npm package, you first need to install it through npm using the command npm install inflection. Next, you require the module in your file with const inflection = require( 'inflection' );. Then you can use its various methods on your strings.

For example, to pluralize a string, you would use inflection.pluralize( 'person' );, which would output 'people'. To convert a string to camelcase, you would use inflection.camelize( 'message_properties' );, which would produce 'MessageProperties'.

It's important to study the documentation and understand what each function does as some functions accept certain types of strings and/or additional parameters for more precision in transforming strings.

Where are the inflection docs?

The documentation for the Inflection npm package can be found on its GitHub page, and more detailed information about methods and usage is available in its API section. Studying the API is crucial to understanding how to use the package efficiently and helps to apply its functions effectively across a variety of use-cases. For Angular or Meteor support, refer to the "ngInflection" and "Meteor Inflector" projects respectively.
