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.

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']
