Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Nounmeral

Seamlessly combines numbers and nouns in singular or plural forms for cohesive text output.

Table of Contents

Background

Nounmeral is a very simple script that allows you to go from this:

console.log(`I have ${num} cat${num != 1 ? 's' : ''}.`);

to this:

console.log(`I have ${nounmeral(num, 'cat')}.`);

which is more comprehensive and easier to write.

The name Nounmeral is a combination of the words "noun" and "numeral".

Install

Simply run this command in your terminal:

npm i nounmeral

Usage

Once you've installed the package, you can import it into your JavaScript or TypeScript files as follows:

const yourPackage = require('nounmeral');
// OR
import yourPackage from 'nounmeral';

Now you can use nounmeral with your strings:

for (let num = 1; num <= 3; num++) {
  console.log(`I saw ${nounmeral(num, 'cat')}.`);
}
// Output:
// I saw 1 cat.
// I saw 2 cats.
// I saw 3 cats.

If the noun (or language) doesn't simply append an "s" to form the plural from the singular, specify the plural word:

for (let num = 1; num <= 3; num++) {
  console.log(`I saw ${nounmeral(num, 'mouse', 'mice')}.`);
}
// Output:
// I saw 1 mouse.
// I saw 2 mice.
// I saw 3 mice.

Some words append something different than an "s" to the singular form of the noun to get the plural form. For those you can add a "/" and the text to be appended, to get the plural form:

for (let num = 1; num <= 3; num++) {
  console.log(`I saw ${nounmeral(num, 'fox/es')}.`);
}
// Output:
// I saw 1 fox.
// I saw 2 foxes.
// I saw 3 foxes.

Function Signature

The nounmeral function takes the following parameters:

  • numeral (required): A number representing the quantity.
  • singularNoun (required): The singular form of the noun. If it contains a "/", the text up to the slash will be used for the singular form, and the entire string (without the slash), will be used for the plural form.
  • pluralNoun (optional): The plural form of the noun. If not provided, the function will automatically append "s" to the singular form to create the plural form.
