Pluralizing strings in Javascript ES6.

Have you ever wondered: How can I pluralize words in Javascript?

Wonder no more!

You can use the pluralize library for this.

NPM:
npm install pluralize --save

Yarn:
yarn add pluralize

Wherever you want to use the lib, you can require it easily.

var pluralize = require('pluralize')

I like to add it to the window object so I can just invoke pluralize() wherever I need it. Within my application.js root file:

window.pluralize = require('pluralize')

Then you can just use it anywhere.

<span className="pull-left">
  {`${item.score} ${pluralize('point', item.score)}`}
</span>

You can find the pluralize library here:
