Groovy Pluralize Module

A lightweight Groovy extension module that adds the functionality to get plural inflections for words. Suitable for most English applications.

For more robust needs, checkout IBM’s more comprehensive and feature rich International Components for Unicode library.

Installation

Include the jar is in your classpath, or add it as a dependency to your favorite build tool. Groovy does the rest.

Note	Requires groovy 2.0 or later.

Gradle and Grails

compile 'org.millarts:groovy-pluralize-en:0.2.1'

Groovy Grape

@Grapes(
  @Grab(group='org.millarts', module='groovy-pluralize-en', version='0.2.1')
)

Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.millarts</groupId>
  <artifactId>groovy-pluralize-en</artifactId>
  <version>0.2.1</version>
</dependency>

Usage

Example Usages

// Plural Inflection
assert 'mustache'.plural() == 'mustaches'
assert 'wolf'.plural()     == 'wolves'

// Plural Inflection with Cardinality
assert 'codex'.plural(1) == 'codex'
assert 'codex'.plural(2) == 'codices'
assert 'codex'.plural(8) == 'codices'

// Capitalization
assert 'Life'.plural() == 'Lives'

// Unfortunately, capitalization does not behave consistently for certain words. EG:
assert 'Tooth'.plural() == 'teeth'

Gradle Examples

$ ./gradlew tasks   (1)
$ ./gradlew jar     (2)
$ ./gradlew test    (3)
$ ./gradlew check   (4)

2. Builds the jar

3. Runs tests

4. Runs tests and checks (eg: code quality checks)

Under the Hood

This module uses the evo-inflector project under the hood, which is based off of Damian Conway’s paper An Algorithmic Approach to English Pluralization. It tends to get things right. See the evo-inflector project for more information.
