Javascript pluralize a string

问题


In PHP, I use Kuwamoto's class to pluralize nouns in my strings. I didn't find something as good as this script in javascript except for some plugins. So, it would be great to have a javascript function based on Kuwamoto's class.

http://kuwamoto.org/2007/12/17/improved-pluralizing-in-php-actionscript-and-ror/


回答1:


Simple version (ES6):

const maybePluralize = (count, noun, suffix = 's') =>
  `${count} ${noun}${count !== 1 ? suffix : ''}`;

Usage:

maybePluralize(0, 'turtle'); // 0 turtles
maybePluralize(1, 'turtle'); // 1 turtle
maybePluralize(2, 'turtle'); // 2 turtles
maybePluralize(3, 'fox', 'es'); // 3 foxes

This obviously doesn't support all english edge-cases, but it's suitable for most purposes




回答2:


Use Pluralize

There's a great little library called Pluralize that's packaged in npm and bower.

This is what it looks like to use: 

import Pluralize from 'pluralize';

Pluralize( 'Towel', 42 );       // "Towels"

Pluralize( 'Towel', 42, true ); // "42 Towels"

And you can get it here:

So, I answer my own question by sharing my translation in javascript of Kuwamoto's PHP class.

String.prototype.plural = function(revert){

    var plural = {
        '(quiz)$'               : "$1zes",
        '^(ox)$'                : "$1en",
        '([m|l])ouse$'          : "$1ice",
        '(matr|vert|ind)ix|ex$' : "$1ices",
        '(x|ch|ss|sh)$'         : "$1es",

    var singular = {

    };

    var irregular = {
        'move'   : 'moves',
        'foot'   : 'feet',
        'goose'  : 'geese',
        'sex'    : 'sexes',
        'child'  : 'children',
        'man'    : 'men',
        'tooth'  : 'teeth',
        'person' : 'people'
    };

    var uncountable = [
        'sheep', 
        'fish',
        'deer',
        'moose',
        'series',
        'species',
        'money',

    // save some time in the case that singular and plural are the same
    if(uncountable.indexOf(this.toLowerCase()) >= 0)
      return this;

    // check for irregular forms
    for(word in irregular){

      if(revert){
              var pattern = new RegExp(irregular[word]+'$', 'i');
              var replace = word;
      } else{ var pattern = new RegExp(word+'$', 'i');
              var replace = irregular[word];
      }
      if(pattern.test(this))
        return this.replace(pattern, replace);
    }

    if(revert) var array = singular;
         else  var array = plural;

    // check for matches using regular expressions
    for(reg in array){

      var pattern = new RegExp(reg, 'i');

      if(pattern.test(this))
        return this.replace(pattern, array[reg]);
    }

    return this;
}

Easy to use:

alert("page".plural()); // return plural form => pages
alert("mouse".plural()); // return plural form => mice
alert("women".plural(true)); // return singular form => woman

Taken from my blog: https://sergiotapia.me/pluralizing-strings-in-javascript-es6-b5d4d651d403

You can use the pluralize library for this.

NPM:
npm install pluralize --save

Yarn:
yarn add pluralize

Wherever you want to use the lib, you can require it easily.

var pluralize = require('pluralize')

I like to add it to the window object so I can just invoke pluralize() wherever I need it. Within my application.js root file:

window.pluralize = require('pluralize')

Then you can just use it anywhere, React components, or just plain Javascript:

<span className="pull-left">
  {`${item.score} ${pluralize('point', item.score)}`}
</span>

console.log(pluralize('point', item.score))

The new intl API spec from ECMA will provide the plural rules function, https://github.com/tc39/proposal-intl-plural-rules

Here's the polyfill that can be used today https://github.com/eemeli/IntlPluralRules

I’ve created a very simple library that can be used for words pluralization in JavaScript. It transparently uses CLDR database for multiple locales, so it supports almost any language you would like to use. It’s API is very minimalistic and integration is extremely simple. It’s called Numerous.

I’ve also written a small introduction article to it: «How to pluralize any word in different languages using JavaScript?».

Feel free to use it in your project. I will also be glad for your feedback on it.

function pluralize( /* n, [ n2, n3, ... ] str */ ) {
    var n = Array.prototype.slice.call( arguments ) ;
    var str = n.pop(), iMax = n.length - 1, i = -1, j ;
    str = str.replace( /\$\$|\$(\d+)/g,
        function( m, p1 ) { return m == '$$' ? '$' : n[+p1-1] }

// 100 pennies make $1
console.log( pluralize( 1, 0.01, '$1 penn(y+,ies) make(-1) $$$2' ) ) ;
// 1 penny makes $0.01

Using @sarink's answer, I made a function to create a string using key value pairs data and pluralizing the keys. Here's the snippet:

// Function to create a string from given key value pairs and pluralize keys
const stringPluralize = function(data){
    var suffix = 's';
    var str = '';
    $.each(data, function(key, val){
        if(str != ''){
            str += val>0 ? ` and ${val} ${key}${val !== 1 ? suffix : ''}` : '';
        }
        else{
            str = val>0 ? `${val} ${key}${val !== 1 ? suffix : ''}` : '';
        }
    });
    return str;
}
var leftDays = '1';
var leftHours = '12';
var str = stringPluralize({day:leftDays, hour:leftHours});
console.log(str) // Gives 1 day and 12 hours

Based on @pmrotule answer with some typescript magic and some additions to the uncountable array. I add here the plural and singular functions.

The plural version:

/**
 * Returns the plural of an English word.
 *
 * @export
 * @param {string} word
 * @param {number} [amount]
 * @returns {string}
 */
export function plural(word: string, amount?: number): string {
    if (amount !== undefined && amount === 1) {
        return word
    }
    const plural: { [key: string]: string } = {
        '(quiz)$'               : "$1zes",
        '^(ox)$'                : "$1en",
        '([m|l])ouse$'          : "$1ice",
        '(matr|vert|ind)ix|ex$' : "$1ices",
        '(x|ch|ss|sh)$'         : "$1es",
        '([^aeiouy]|qu)y$'      : "$1ies",
        '(hive)$'               : "$1s",
        '(?:([^f])fe|([lr])f)$' : "$1$2ves",
        '(shea|lea|loa|thie)f$' : "$1ves",
        'sis$'                  : "ses",
        '([ti])um$'             : "$1a",
        '(tomat|potat|ech|her|vet)o$': "$1oes",
        '(bu)s$'                : "$1ses",
        '(alias)$'              : "$1es",
        '(octop)us$'            : "$1i",
        '(ax|test)is$'          : "$1es",
        '(us)$'                 : "$1es",
        '([^s]+)$'              : "$1s"
    }
    const irregular: { [key: string]: string } = {
        'move'   : 'moves',
        'foot'   : 'feet',
        'goose'  : 'geese',
        'sex'    : 'sexes',
        'child'  : 'children',
        'man'    : 'men',
        'tooth'  : 'teeth',
        'person' : 'people'
    }
    const uncountable: string[] = [
        'sheep',
        'fish',
        'deer',
        'moose',
        'series',
        'species',
        'money',
        'rice',
        'information',
        'equipment',

        'aircraft',
        'hovercraft',

        'sugar',
        'tuna',
        'you',
        'wood'
    ]
    // save some time in the case that singular and plural are the same
    if (uncountable.indexOf(word.toLowerCase()) >= 0) {
        return word
    }
    // check for irregular forms
    for (const w in irregular) {
        const pattern = new RegExp(`${w}$`, 'i')
        const replace = irregular[w]
        if (pattern.test(word)) {
            return word.replace(pattern, replace)
        }
    }
    // check for matches using regular expressions
    for (const reg in plural) {
        const pattern = new RegExp(reg, 'i')
        if (pattern.test(word)) {
            return word.replace(pattern, plural[reg])
        }
    }
    return word
}

And the singular version:

/**
 * Returns the singular of an English word.
 *
 * @export

 */
export function singular(word: string, amount?: number): string {
    if (amount !== undefined && amount !== 1) {
        return word
    }
    const singular: { [key: string]: string } = {
        '(quiz)zes$'             : "$1",
        '(matr)ices$'            : "$1ix",
