Class Salient\Utility\Inflect

Inflect placeholders in a string in the singular if a range covers 1 value, or in the plural otherwise

For example:

<?php
$message = Inflect::formatRange($from, $to, '{{#:on:from}} {{#:line}} {{#}}');

The word used between $from and $to (default: to) can be given explicitly using the following syntax:

<?php
$message = Inflect::formatRange($from, $to, '{{#:at:between}} {{#:value}} {{#:#:and}}');

Inflect placeholders in a string in the singular if a count is 1, or in the plural otherwise

For example:

<?php
$message = Inflect::format($count, '{{#}} {{#:entry}} {{#:was}} processed');

The following words are recognised:

• # (unconditionally replaced with a number)
• no (replaced with a number if $count is not 0)
• a, an (replaced with a number if $count is plural, no if $count is 0)
• are / is (inflected)
• has / have (inflected)
• was / were (inflected)

Other words are inflected by {@see Inflect::plural()} if $count is a value other than 1, or used without inflection otherwise.

The plural form of a word can be given explicitly using the following syntax:

<?php
'{{#:matrix:matrices}}';

Inflect placeholders in a string in the singular if a count is 0 or 1, or in the plural otherwise
