singularize different behaviour with 'active_support'

[pgorgita]

Hi Jeremy,

#singularize returns differently when active_support/inflector is required:

# ruby-3.2.2, sequel-5.86.0, activesupport-7.2.2
require 'sequel '
include Sequel::Inflections
singularize "rfss"
=> "rfs"

require 'active_support/inflector'
singularize "rfss"
=> "rfss"

I see it should use pre-defined #singularize, when it responds:

sequel/lib/sequel/model/inflections.rb

Line 136 in 6a7f915

return s.singularize if s.respond_to?(:singularize)

It gets tricky with Associations.

I can override it in sequel or in 'active_support'.
My question is, is there any other solution?
Do you plan to harmonize the singularize(s)?
Is there a way to solely use sequel's solution bypassing any external support?

Cheers,

Paulo

If you require active_support's inflector (or any library adding the inflection methods to string), Sequel will use it, as you can see in your code example.

You can also configure Sequel's inflector without using a string inflector library:

Sequel::Inflections.uncountable "rfss"

No further changes to the default inflections are planned.

Problem remains as there is a totally different behavior between ''inflection"s:

require 'sequel'
include Sequel::Inflections
singularize "rfss" => "rfs"
pluralize _        => "rfs"

Sequel::Inflections.uncountable "rfss"
singularize "rfss" => "rfss"
pluralize _        => "rfss"

require 'active_support/inflector'
singularize "rfss" => "rfss"
pluralize _        => "rfsses"

Anyway, okay... I just need to ensure that I keep these non-standard schemas at the forefront of my mind and take care of them.
