Convert the case of keys in an object (e. g. to camelCase), or simply convert the case of a string to another case.

{ camelCased: 'some value' } => { snake_cased: 'some value' }

Installation

$ yarn add @bitchcraft/ocake
$ npm install -P @bitchcraft/ocake

Usage

convertKeys

convertKeys(haystack: Object, replacer: (key: string) => string): Object

Creates an identical object where the keys have been converted to the desired case.

• haystack can be any plain object including arrays
• replacer function which takes a string and returns a string: (key: string) => string. You can use one of the supplied StringConverters.

ES6 example

import { convertKeys, StringConverters } from '@bitchcraft/ocake';

const payload = convertKeys({
    userName: 'Sam Axe',
    userId: 5462,
    clientId: 17,
}, StringConverters.toKebabCase);

const requestBody = JSON.stringify(payload);

ES5 example

var convertKeys = require('@bitchcraft/ocake').convertKeys;
var toKebabCase = require('@bitchcraft/ocake').StringConverters.toKebabCase;

var payload = convertKeys({
    userName: 'Sam Axe',
    userId: 5462,
    clientId: 17
}, StringConverters.toKebabCase);

const requestBody = JSON.stringify(payload);

StringConverters

Convert the case in a string to another case, e. g.

'sentence case' => 'sentenceCase'

All string converters provided by OCake currently use no-case, which converts using a common intermediary. There are no source-target-pair specific replacers. Meaning that every conversion in fact first converts to sentence case before converting to the target case, e. g. when converting to snake case: 'unknownCase' -> 'unknown case' -> 'unknown_case'. This has to be kept in mind when designing your app for roundtrip conversion. In that case you either have to be aware of the limitations or provide your own source-target specific replacers.

Known limitations are:

• Tall-man-case does not work roundtrip, because of ambiguity with camel case. ('someTALLMANCASEkey' -> 'some tallmancase ekey' -> 'someTallmancaseEkey' -> 'some tallmancase ekey' -> 'someTALLMANCASekey' -> …)
• Odd camel case is not preserved on roundtrip ('XMLHttpRequest' -> 'xml http request' -> 'XmlHttpRequest')
• When converting keys that contain numbers, some cases cannot properly store subtle differences, e. g. ('snake_case_1' -> 'snakeCase1' -> 'snake_case1')
