#### TYPES
```go
type Rule struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
```
used by rulesets
```go
type Ruleset struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
```
a Ruleset is the config of pluralization rules
you can extend the rules with the Add* methods
```
func NewDefaultRuleset() *Ruleset
```
create a new ruleset and load it with the default
set of common English pluralization rules
```
func NewRuleset() *Ruleset
```
create a blank ruleset. Unless you are going to
build your own rules from scratch you probably
won't need this and can just use the defaultRuleset
via the global inflect.* methods
```
func (rs *Ruleset) AddAcronym(word string)
```
if you use acronym you may need to add them to the ruleset
to prevent Underscored words of things like "HTML" coming out
as "h_t_m_l"
```
func (rs *Ruleset) AddHuman(suffix, replacement string)
```
Human rules are applied by humanize to show more friendly
versions of words
```
func (rs *Ruleset) AddIrregular(singular, plural string)
```
Add any inconsistent pluralizing/singularizing rules
to the set here.
```
func (rs *Ruleset) AddPlural(suffix, replacement string)
```
add a pluralization rule
```
func (rs *Ruleset) AddPluralExact(suffix, replacement string, exact bool)
```
add a pluralization rule with full string match
```
func (rs *Ruleset) AddSingular(suffix, replacement string)
```
add a singular rule
```
func (rs *Ruleset) AddSingularExact(suffix, replacement string, exact bool)
```
same as AddSingular but you can set `exact` to force
a full string match
```
func (rs *Ruleset) AddUncountable(word string)
```
add a word to this ruleset that has the same singular and plural form
for example: "rice"
```
func (rs *Ruleset) Asciify(word string) string
```
transforms Latin characters like é -> e
```
func (rs *Ruleset) Camelize(word string) string
```
"dino_party" -> "DinoParty"
```
func (rs *Ruleset) CamelizeDownFirst(word string) string
```
same as Camelcase but with first letter downcased
```
func (rs *Ruleset) Capitalize(word string) string
```
uppercase first character
```
func (rs *Ruleset) Dasherize(word string) string
```
"SomeText" -> "some-text"
```
func (rs *Ruleset) ForeignKey(word string) string
```
an underscored foreign key name "Person" -> "person_id"
```
func (rs *Ruleset) ForeignKeyCondensed(word string) string
```
a foreign key (with an underscore) "Person" -> "personid"
```
func (rs *Ruleset) Humanize(word string) string
```
First letter of sentence capitalized
Uses custom friendly replacements via AddHuman()
```
func (rs *Ruleset) Ordinalize(str string) string
```
"1031" -> "1031st"
```
func (rs *Ruleset) Parameterize(word string) string
```
param safe dasherized names like "my-param"
```
func (rs *Ruleset) ParameterizeJoin(word, sep string) string
```
param safe dasherized names with custom separator
```
func (rs *Ruleset) Pluralize(word string) string
```
returns the plural form of a singular word
```
func (rs *Ruleset) Singularize(word string) string
```
returns the singular form of a plural word
```
func (rs *Ruleset) Tableize(word string) string
```
Rails style pluralized table names: "SuperPerson" -> "super_people"
```
func (rs *Ruleset) Titleize(word string) string
```
Capitalize every word in sentence "hello there" -> "Hello There"
```
func (rs *Ruleset) Typeify(word string) string
```
"something_like_this" -> "SomethingLikeThis"
```
func (rs *Ruleset) Uncountables() map[string]bool
```
```
func (rs *Ruleset) Underscore(word string) string
