{"id":15041,"library":"vue-pluralize","title":"Vue Pluralize","description":"vue-pluralize is a lightweight utility that integrates the popular `pluralize` library as filters for Vue.js 2 projects. It enables developers to easily convert words between singular and plural forms directly within Vue templates using a custom filter, or programmatically via `this.$pluralize` within components. The package is currently at version `0.0.2` and has not received updates since its initial releases in 2018, indicating an abandoned status. It is specifically designed for Vue 2 and is not compatible with Vue 3, which significantly limits its applicability in modern Vue development. Its primary differentiator was its straightforward integration as a Vue 2 plugin and filter, making pluralization functionality readily available within the Vue 2 ecosystem without manual setup of the underlying `pluralize` library.","status":"abandoned","version":"0.0.2","language":"javascript","source_language":"en","source_url":"https://github.com/SimpleNexus/vue-pluralize","tags":["javascript","vue","custom","plural","pluralize","filter","singularize"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install vue-pluralize","lang":"bash","label":"npm"},{"cmd":"yarn add vue-pluralize","lang":"bash","label":"yarn"},{"cmd":"pnpm add vue-pluralize","lang":"bash","label":"pnpm"}],"dependencies":[{"reason":"Required as a peer dependency for plugin registration and Vue 2 compatibility.","package":"vue","optional":false}],"imports":[{"note":"Primarily intended for use as a Vue plugin via `Vue.use(VuePluralize)`.
