• 🐞 Fix

Summary

Given a resource name called "PriceQuiz", an endpoint "/priceQuizzes" was expected, but due to the singularize method of the pluralize library, it produces the string priceQuizz instead.

Quick test app

console.log("----------------- Using Pluralize Package -------------------------")

var pluralize = require('pluralize')
console.log(`Pluralize "quiz" -> ${pluralize('quiz')}`)
console.log(`Singularize "quizzes" -> ${pluralize.singular('quizzes')}`)
console.log(`Pluralize "priceQuiz" -> ${pluralize('priceQuiz')}`)
console.log(`Singularize "priceQuizzes" -> ${pluralize.singular('priceQuizzes')}`)

console.log("----------------- Using Inflection Package -------------------------")

var inflection = require( 'inflection' );
console.log(`Pluralize "quiz" -> ${inflection.pluralize('quiz')}`)
console.log(`Singularize "quizzes" -> ${inflection.singularize('quizzes')}`)
console.log(`Pluralize "priceQuiz" -> ${inflection.pluralize('priceQuiz')}`)
console.log(`Singularize "priceQuizzes" -> ${inflection.singularize('priceQuizzes')}`)

Results

----------------- Using Pluralize Package -------------------------
Pluralize "quiz" -> quizzes
Singularize "quizzes" -> quiz
Pluralize "priceQuiz" -> priceQuizs
Singularize "priceQuizzes" -> priceQuizz

----------------- Using Inflection Package -------------------------
Pluralize "quiz" -> quizzes
Singularize "quizzes" -> quiz
Pluralize "priceQuiz" -> priceQuizzes
Singularize "priceQuizzes" -> priceQuiz

Digging into the main issue

According to plurals/pluralize#177, the library produces several inconsistencies across a large number of english words. Several other individual issues might point out that the library fails on a lot more words.

Proposal

Use Inflection (https://github.com/dreamerslab/node.inflection) as an alternative to pluralize.
