Pluralizes template based on count value

Your task is to build a package that constructs a sentence with the proper pluralization. The pluralization is based on a given number, represented by {{count}} or {{n}}. You will have a string with 3 variations separated by | such as: string = 'Zero | One | Many' and based on a given number such as 0, 1, count, the logic should return the correct variation.

Example: Accessing the number via the pre-defined argument

You don't need to explicitly give the number for pluralization. The number can be accessed within local messages via pre-defined named arguments {{count}} and/or {{n}}. You can overwrite those pre-defined named arguments if necessary.

Basic Example:

const input: string = 'no cars|one car|many cars'

const zero: string = pluralize(input, 0/*count*/)
// output: no cars
const one: string = pluralize(input, 1/*count*/)
// output: one car
const many: string = pluralize(input, 20/*count*/)
// output: many cars

Example with count:

const input: string = 'no points|one point|{{count}} points'

const zero: string = pluralize(input, 0/*count*/)
// output: no points
const one: string = pluralize(input, 1/*count*/)
// output: one point
const many: string = pluralize(input, 10/*count*/)
// output: 10 points

Example with count alias "n":

const input: string = 'no points|one point|{{n}} points'

const zero: string = pluralize(input, 0/*count*/)
// output: no points
const one: string = pluralize(input, 1/*count*/)
// output: one point
const many: string = pluralize(input, 10/*count*/)
// output: 10 points

// payload
const payload = {
  equivalentDollarsAmount: 123,
  param: {
    nested: 'food',
  },
}

const input: string = 'no money|$1|${{equivalentDollarsAmount}} of {{param.nested}}'

const many: string = pluralize(input, 30/*count*/, payload)
// output: $123 of food

const input: string = 'today|one day left|{{minus 365 count}} days left'

const many: string = pluralize(input, 100/*count*/)
// output: 265 days left  

• The logic must be written in Typescript and compiled to the javascript

• You must implement unit tests. Check the tests folder.

• Prepare a README.md file based on markdown syntax.

• The implementation must be located on your private GitHub account. Invite [email protected] to review it.

• We have provided the base repository with the logic that compiles your Typescript to Javascript. You can fork it.

• Familiarity with Git, Typescript, Markdown, npm

• Once you complete the test, you will be interviewed. You will be asked to explain the structure and configuration of the base repository we have provided to you. For example you will see .editorconfig and your explanation might be: This file is for unifying the coding style for different editors and IDEs. The tab has 2 spaces because of indent_size = 2.
