rename

Switch the formatting of names stored in strings between different naming conventions.

Overview

This library provides functions to transform strings between various naming conventions, along with a class that extends the native String object with these transformations.

Installation

npm i @itrocks/rename

Usage

Importing the Functions

You can use the provided functions to convert strings between naming conventions:

import { toVariable } from '@itrocks/rename'
console.log(toVariable('ThisName'))
//> thisName

Using the Str Class

Alternatively, you can use the Str class for an object-oriented approach:

import { Str } from '@itrocks/rename'
console.log(new Str('ThisName').toColumn())
//> this_name

API

All functions accept a string as their argument and return the transformed string. The input string can follow any of the supported naming conventions.

lcFirst

Converts the first character of the string to lowercase.

import { lcFirst } from '@itrocks/rename'
console.log(lcFirst('Hello World'))
//> hello World

toClass

Converts the string to the class naming convention.

import { toClass } from '@itrocks/rename'
console.log(toClass('hello_world'))
//> HelloWorld

toColumn

Converts the string to the column naming convention.

import { toColumn } from '@itrocks/rename'
console.log(toColumn('HelloWorld'))
//> hello_world

toDisplay

Converts the string to a human-readable display format.

import { toDisplay } from '@itrocks/rename'
console.log(toDisplay('helloWorld'))
//> hello world

toRoute

Converts the string to the route-to-feature naming convention.

import { toRoute } from '@itrocks/rename'
console.log(toRoute('HelloWorld'))
//> hello-world

toVariable

Converts the string to the variable naming convention.

import { toVariable } from '@itrocks/rename'
console.log(toVariable('HelloWorld'))
//> helloWorld

ucFirst

Converts the first character of the string to uppercase.

import { ucFirst } from '@itrocks/rename'
console.log(ucFirst('hello, world'))
//> Hello, world

Str Class

The Str class extends the native JavaScript String object and includes all the transformation methods listed above.

import { Str } from '@itrocks/rename'

const str = new Str('hello_world')
console.log(str.toClass())
//> HelloWorld
console.log(str.toDisplay())
//> hello world
