support dasherized multi-word names?

[kbullaughey]

When using ember-cli, it seems like it would be helpful to support the same inflection patterns for dasherized and undasherized names. Instead, I find myself doing the following:

Ember.Inflector.inflector.uncountable('phrase-tones')
Ember.Inflector.inflector.uncountable('phraseTones')

Of course, if I always wanted anything ending in tones to be uncountable, then I could just register the last word, but sometimes it's only class names that I want to be uncountable (i.e., in the case where each record represents a plural set of things).

Does the inflector know about word boundaries as presented in camelCase? This is a little tricky because of all-caps acronyms. Perhaps it could work as follows. If one registers the phrase-tones case then it also registers the phraseTones case, but not viceversa.

https://github.com/stefanpenner/ember-inflector/pull/41/files seems to already do this? Or maybe i need further clarification.

Hm...

It works on a new instance, but I get weird behavior from the instance on Ember.Inflector:

I suppose I'm doing something wrong...

@kbullaughey do you have 2 verison of ember-inflector ? ember-data does bring one with as-well...

[kbullaughey]

Hm...seems I'm using the ember-data, whichever is packaged with ember-data 1.0.0-beta.14.1.

I added some tests to a branch in my forked copy. Here's a diff.

I get the following failures in testem:

ember-inflector.unit: multiword uncountable basic s singularization rule
    ✘ failed
         expected blue_moons
         actual blue_moon
    ✘ failed
         expected blueMoons
         actual blueMoon
    ✘ failed
         expected BlueMoons
         actual BlueMoon

Importantly, it only fails if there's a singularization rule (as is the case when using ember data). I am declaring inflector.uncountable('blue-moons'); and so inflector.singularize('blue-moons'); works, but not the other three multiword variants I test. In the last test I define rules for all three variants (dash, underscore, no spaces) and then all the multiword singularization rules work.

I haven't looked into the cause of the problem yet.
