Status

API is stable.

This library is not used at all by other go-openapi packages and is somewhat redundant with go-openapi/swag/mangling (for camelcase etc).

Currently we have one single dependency in one place in a go-swagger template (used as a funcmap).

Import this library in your project

go get github.com/go-openapi/inflect

Basic usage

A golang library applying grammar rules to English words.

This package provides a basic set of functions applying grammar rules to inflect English words, modify case style (Capitalize, camelCase, snake_case, etc.).

Acronyms are properly handled. A common use case is word pluralization.
