A utility to convert a string into some styles: camelCase, PascalCase, kebab-case, snake_case, _underscore_case preserving leading underscores, etc.

TypeScript supported.

Installation

Install by npm/yarn

npm add name-styles
yarn add name-styles

Quick Start

Normal styles

• camel(s), camel case
• pascal(s), pascal case
• kebab(s), kebab case, alias hyphen()
• snake(s), snake case

import {
    camel,
    pascal,
    kebab,
    snake
} from "name-styles";

const s = "Hello Name-Styles";

camel(s);
// helloNameStyles

pascal(s);
// HelloNameStyles

kebab(s);
// hello-name-styles

snake(s);
// hello_name_styles

Special underscore style

underscore style is similar to snake style, except that

• it persists leading underscores
• it does NOT merge middle underscores

Note that all spaces or kebabs should be transformed to underscore, and leading ones are kept.

For example:

import { snake, underscore } from "name-styles";

const s = "-hello-world by--james";

snake(s);
// hello_world_by_james

underscore(s);
// _hello_world_by__james

Special constant style

CONSTANT style matches C/C++ constant convention.

It support two style constant which predicate by the second parameter. The first style is like snake except all letters are upper case. Another style is like underscore except all letters are upper case. The first style is default style.

For example:

import { constant } from "name-styles";

const s = "-hello-world by--james";

constant(s);
// HELLO_WORLD_BY_JAMES

constant(s, true);
// _HELLO_WORLD_BY__JAMES

How can I use the second style in the uniform interface with only one parameters? Currying can help.

For example:

import { constant } from "name-styles";
const myConstant = s => constant(s, true);

myConverters.push(myConstant);

Q&A

1. How to get a sentence style result

The string in kebab or snake style can be easily converted to sentence style

const { kebab } from "name-styles";

const s = "ThisIsASentence";
const sentence = kebab(s)
    .replace(/-/g, " ")
    .replace(/^./, ch => ch.toUpperCase());
// This is a sentence
