doctrine/inflector

The inflector now supports Norwegian Bokmål, Spanish, and Turkish. Each language includes dedicated rule sets for singularization, pluralization, and irregular word substitutions, enabling accurate word form transformations for these languages.

The English inflection rules for the Doctrine Inflector have been implemented, providing support for converting between singular and plural forms of English words. This includes handling irregular plurals (such as 'die' to 'dice' and 'nursery' to 'nurseries'), transformation rules for standard endings, and a list of uninflected words. This change enables the library to correctly process English text for singularization and pluralization tasks.

The library now supports French language inflection, enabling correct singularization and pluralization of French words. This includes handling specific irregular forms (such as monsieur/messieurs) and uninflected words (such as bois and mas) that should not be altered by the inflector.

The inflector now supports Portuguese, enabling correct singular and plural forms for the language. This includes rules for regular inflections, a list of uninflected words (e.g., 'ônibus', 'lápis'), and irregular word substitutions (e.g., 'cão' → 'cães', 'mão' → 'mãos').

src/Rules/Portuguese · high confidence

The library now supports inflection for multiple languages, including Italian and Esperanto, alongside existing support for English, French, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Turkish. A new \CachedWordInflector\ wraps inflection calls to improve performance, and the \InflectorFactory\ provides a \createForLanguage\ method to select the target language. The architecture has been refactored to use a \GenericLanguageInflectorFactory\ that allows custom singular and plural rulesets to be added or reset, enabling extensibility for future language additions.

The src/Rules directory now contains a new set of classes (Pattern, Patterns, Ruleset, Substitution, Substitutions, Transformation, Transformations, and Word) that implement the inflection logic. These classes provide the underlying mechanism for applying transformation and substitution rules to words, enabling the inflector to process text according to defined patterns and irregular forms.

The legacy Debug class in the Common namespace has been removed, eliminating the previous debug dumping functionality that relied on the xdebug extension. Additionally, the repository now includes standard project infrastructure files: .doctrine-project.json for documentation versioning, .gitattributes and .gitignore for repository management, a MIT LICENSE file, a SECURITY.md for vulnerability reporting, and configuration files for PHPStan, PHPUnit, and PHP\_CodeSniffer to standardize the development and testing environment.

Add French functional tests for pluralization rules; Added comprehensive test coverage for the Inflector component; Added functional tests for English pluralization rules; Added functional tests for Italian inflection rules; Added functional tests for Norwegian Bokmål, Spanish, and Turkish inflection rules; Added unit tests for inflector rule classes.

The project's development tooling has been updated to support modern PHP versions and testing frameworks. The minimum supported PHP version is now 7.2 or 8.0. Development dependencies have been upgraded to allow PHPUnit 8.5 through 12.2, PHPStan 1.12 through 2.0, and the Doctrine Coding Standard 12.0 through 14.0.

• Ambiguous intent of 'inflect' method. The term 'inflect' is used for both specific grammatical transformations (singularize/pluralize) and generic word manipulation. While Inflector exposes singularize and pluralize, the underlying WordInflector interface and its implementations (including RulesetInflector, Transformations, Transformation, Substitutions, and NoopWordInflector) all use a generic inflect method. This forces consumers to know the specific context of the WordInflector to understand if it performs singularization, pluralization, or a no-op, rather than having explicit method names for the specific operation.
