Inflector helper class. Inflection is changing the form of a word based on the context it is used in. For example, changing a word into a plural form.
Inflection is only tested with English, and is will not work with other languages.

Makes a phrase camel case. Spaces and underscores will be removed.
$str = Inflector::camelize('mother cat'); // "motherCat"
$str = Inflector::camelize('kittens in bed'); // "kittensInBed"

{
$str = 'x'.strtolower(trim($str));
$str = ucwords(preg_replace('/[\s_]+/', ' ', $str));
return substr(str_replace(' ', '', $str), 1);
}Converts a camel case phrase into a spaced phrase.
$str = Inflector::decamelize('houseCat'); // "house cat"
$str = Inflector::decamelize('kingAllyCat'); // "king ally cat"

}Makes an underscored or dashed phrase human-readable.
$str = Inflector::humanize('kittens-are-cats'); // "kittens are cats"
$str = Inflector::humanize('dogs_as_well'); // "dogs as well"

}Makes a singular word plural.
echo Inflector::plural('fish'); // "fish", uncountable
echo Inflector::plural('cat'); // "cats"
You can also provide the count to make inflection more intelligent. In this case, it will only return the plural value if the count is not one.
echo Inflector::singular('cats', 3); // "cats"
Special inflections are defined in config/inflector.php.

}Makes a plural word singular.
echo Inflector::singular('cats'); // "cat"
echo Inflector::singular('fish'); // "fish", uncountable
You can also provide the count to make inflection more intelligent. In this case, it will only return the singular value if the count is greater than one and not zero.

}Checks if a word is defined as uncountable. An uncountable word has a single form. For instance, one "fish" and many "fish", not "fishes".
Inflector::uncountable('fish'); // TRUE
Inflector::uncountable('cat'); // FALSE
If you find a word is being pluralized improperly, it has probably not
been defined as uncountable in config/inflector.php. If this is the
case, please report an issue.
