I've got a console task I've started that does some of this, I originally built it to figure out what cake was doing with a specific multi word table I had. But this is a great idea I'll work on my implementation a bit more and then post it to github with a follow up post to this thread. I think a console task over a web service will be cleaner because I will want to use my specific apps inflections.php file which has some additional rules like geese -> goose etc. as well as to be able to see the real full paths for my app in the right format for linux or windows. Really to be relative to my apps specific environment.
some example uses might be: cake inflect table people cake inflect class person cake inflect controller cake inflect action cake inflect url controller/action/param cake inflect table people which would output all of the inflection info you should be using: Table: people fk: person_id ModelClass Person ModelPath /home/myfolder/myapp/models/person.php ControllerClass PeopleController ControllerPath /home/myfolder/myapp/controllers/people_controller.php etc. The ones I always get stuck on are the double words like: contact_events or contacts_events or contacts_event I've verified that it is possible to identify if a word is singular or plural and then maybe from that build out the rest If i can accomplish this then the command would be cake inflect people So cake inflect people would identify it as plural and build out all the output based on that. cake inflect person should then output the exact same info as cake inflect people with the model always equal to Person, table = people etc. We use inflection for models(Class, File, Table), controllers(Class, File, actionNames), views(Path, File) Any others that might be worth adding to this util let me know.
