Laravel String Helper Function: singular

By 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.
