Method: String::Inflections.singular

Defined in:
lib/core_ext/string.rb

.singular(rule, replacement) ⇒ Array

Specifies a new singularization rule to transform plural words into singular forms. Adds the rule to the beginning of the rules array so it takes precedence over existing rules.

Examples:

Add rule to singularize words ending in ‘ies’

singular(/([^aeiou])ies$/i, '\1y') # changes 'flies' to 'fly'
