Plural Squirrel

Looking for a simple library to handle your pluralization?

Plural Squirrel allows you to write simple templates to handle plural text.

By using [single|plural|zero] syntax, you are able to easily simply distinguish how you'd like your string to be formatted for different inputs.

const dogs = plural`The dog[|s] [is|are] hungry.`

console.log(dogs(1)) // The dog is hungry.
console.log(dogs(5)) // The dogs are hungry.

You may wish to use additional arguments with your function, or output the number of items. [#] will insert the number of items, and [0] will refer to the first additional argument passed in.

const bananas = plural`[0] has eaten [#] banana[|s].`

console.log(bananas(1, 'Josh')) // Josh has eaten 1 banana.
console.log(bananas(2, 'Steve')) // Steve has eaten 2 bananas.

You may use the # symbol the [single|plural] syntax as well.

const bananas = plural`[0] has eaten [a|#] banana[|s].`

console.log(bananas(1, 'Josh')) // Josh has eaten a banana.
console.log(bananas(2, 'Steve')) // Steve has eaten 2 bananas.
