Jargon.js
ES6 component for string inflection/case/format/pluralization. Highly tested. Supports chaining.
; const myString = "Apple Sauce"; // Single String Transformsnake; // "apple_sauce" // Chained String Transformssnakeplural; // "apple_sauces"

Compatibility
Every single build and release is automatically tested on the following platforms:
If your platform is not listed above, you can test your local environment for compatibility by copying and pasting the following commands into your terminal:
npm install jargon
cd node_modules/jargon
gulp test-local
Installation
Copy and paste the following command into your terminal to install Jargon:
npm install jargon --save
Import / Require
// ES6
import inflect from "jargon";
// ES5
var inflect = require("jargon");
// Require.js
define(["require"] , function (require) {
var inflect = require("jargon");
});
Getting Started
Inflector Instances
The inflect()
command returns an independent Inflector
instance which allows one or more transforms to be completed, before returning the final string via .toString()
.
For example, the following two snippets are functionally equivalent:
Inline:
inflect("apple").plural.toString(); // apples
Progressive:
const inflector = inflect("apple");
inflector.plural;
inflector.toString(); // apples
Chaining Transforms
In addition to single transforms, Inflector
instances support chaining of multiple transforms, such as in these two functionally equivalent examples:
Inline:
inflect("apple tree").plural.pascal.toString(); // AppleTrees
Progressive:
const inflector = inflect("apple tree");
inflector.plural;
inflector.pascal;
inflector.toString(); // AppleTrees
String Transforms
Each of these transforms can be chained together to perform more complex changes.
Plural
inflect("apple").plural.toString(); // apples
Camel
inflect("apple tree").camel.toString(); // appleTree
Pascal
inflect("apple_tree").pascal.toString(); // AppleTree
Snake
inflect("appleTree").snake.toString(); // apple_tree
Foreign Key
inflect("appleTree").foreignKey.toString(); // apple_tree_id
Table
inflect("AppleTree").table.toString(); // apple_trees

Running Tests
It's easy to run the test suite locally, and highly recommended if you're using Jargon.js on a platform we aren't automatically testing for.
npm test
SauceLabs Credentials
We've setup our tests to automatically detect whether or not you have our saucelabs credentials installed in your environment (process.env.SAUCE_USERNAME
).
If our saucelabs credentials are not installed, the tests are setup to automatically detect all browsers you have installed on your local system, then use them to run the tests.
Obtaining Our SauceLabs Credentials
If you'd like to develop Jargon.js using SauceLabs, you need only create a new entry in our issue tracker asking for our SauceLabs credentials.
We'll send over all credentials specific to this project so that you can perform comprehensive cross-platform tests.
Public Shared Floobits Workspace
Whenever we're working on Jargon.js, we connect to a public workspace on FlooBits that lets you see and interact with the developers. Feel free to stop by, say hello, and offer suggestions!
