Laravel String Helper Function: singular

November 16, 2016 —John Koster

The singular helper method is the logical opposite to the plural method: it will attempt to take a given $value and return the singular form of that word. The internal mechanisms are similar to the plural method.

The signature for the singular helper method is:

singular($value)

1use Illuminate\Support\Str;
2 
3// cow
4echo Str::singular('cows');
5 
6// person
7echo Str::singular('people');
8 
9// curve
10echo Str::singular('curves');
11 
12// message
13echo Str::singular('messages');

#str_singular($title)

The str_singular function is a shortcut to calling Str::singular. This function is declared in the global namespace.
