Jargon.js

ES6 component for string inflection/case/format/pluralization. Highly tested. Supports chaining.

import inflect from "jargon";

const myString = "Apple Sauce";

// Single String Transform
inflect(myString).snake.toString(); // "apple_sauce"

// Chained String Transforms
inflect(myString).snake.plural.toString(); // "apple_sauces"


Compatibility

Every single build and release is automatically tested on the following platforms:

If your platform is not listed above, you can test your local environment for compatibility by copying and pasting the following commands into your terminal:

npm install jargon
cd node_modules/jargon
gulp test-local

Installation

Copy and paste the following command into your terminal to install Jargon:

npm install jargon --save

Import / Require

// ES6
import inflect from "jargon";

// ES5
var inflect = require("jargon");

// Require.js
define(["require"] , function (require) {
    var inflect = require("jargon");
});

Getting Started

Inflector Instances

The inflect() command returns an independent Inflector instance which allows one or more transforms to be completed, before returning the final string via .toString().

For example, the following two snippets are functionally equivalent:

Inline:

inflect("apple").plural.toString(); // apples

Progressive:

const inflector = inflect("apple");

inflector.plural;

inflector.toString(); // apples

Chaining Transforms

In addition to single transforms, Inflector instances support chaining of multiple transforms, such as in these two functionally equivalent examples:

Inline:

inflect("apple tree").plural.pascal.toString(); // AppleTrees

Progressive:

const inflector = inflect("apple tree");

inflector.plural;
inflector.pascal;

inflector.toString(); // AppleTrees

String Transforms

Each of these transforms can be chained together to perform more complex changes.

Plural

inflect("apple").plural.toString(); // apples

Camel

inflect("apple tree").camel.toString(); // appleTree

Pascal

inflect("apple_tree").pascal.toString(); // AppleTree

Snake

inflect("appleTree").snake.toString(); // apple_tree

Foreign Key

inflect("appleTree").foreignKey.toString(); // apple_tree_id

Table

inflect("AppleTree").table.toString(); // apple_trees

How to Contribute

See something that could use improvement? Have a great feature idea? We listen!

You can submit your ideas through our issues system, or make the modifications yourself and submit them to us in the form of a GitHub pull request.

We always aim to be friendly and helpful.

Running Tests

It's easy to run the test suite locally, and highly recommended if you're using Jargon.js on a platform we aren't automatically testing for.

npm test

SauceLabs Credentials

We've setup our tests to automatically detect whether or not you have our saucelabs credentials installed in your environment (process.env.SAUCE_USERNAME).

If our saucelabs credentials are not installed, the tests are setup to automatically detect all browsers you have installed on your local system, then use them to run the tests.

Obtaining Our SauceLabs Credentials

If you'd like to develop Jargon.js using SauceLabs, you need only create a new entry in our issue tracker asking for our SauceLabs credentials.

We'll send over all credentials specific to this project so that you can perform comprehensive cross-platform tests.

Public Shared Floobits Workspace

Whenever we're working on Jargon.js, we connect to a public workspace on FlooBits that lets you see and interact with the developers. Feel free to stop by, say hello, and offer suggestions!
