JavaScript Intl PluralRules() Constructor is used for creating Intl.PluralRules object. This constructor is created using the new keyword. If we create the constructor without the new keyword it will give a TypeError.

Syntax:

new Intl.PluralRules(loc, opt)

Parameters:

  • loc: It is a String or an array of Strings that contains the general form and interpretation of arguments
  • opt: It is an object which contains properties like localeMatcher and type and maximumSignificantDigits etc.

Return Value: A PluralRules Object

Example 1: This example creates a PluralRules object for the English and Arabic language.

JavaScript 
const eng = new Intl.PluralRules("en");
const ar = new Intl.PluralRules("ar-EG");

console.log(eng.select(1));
console.log(eng.select(2));
console.log(eng.select(6));

console.log(ar.select(1));
console.log(ar.select(2));
console.log(ar.select(6));

Output:

one
other
other
one
two
few

Example 2: This example uses the PluralRules object to add a suffix.

JavaScript 
var x = [12, 32, 45, 11];
var pRules = new Intl.PluralRules("en", {type: "ordinal"});

var Mapping = {
    "one": "st",
    "two": "nd",
    "few": "rd",
    "other": "th",
}

var suffixArray = x.map((item)=>{
    var type = pRules.select(item);
    var ending = Mapping[type];
    return `${item}${ending}`
})

console.log(suffixArray)

Output:

(4) ['12th', '32nd', '45th', '11th']
