Variable Name Conversion

To easily convert a variable name to camelCase, PascalCase, snake_case, kebab-case, CONSTANT_CASE, etc.

Supports strong typing hints of TypeScript for static strings.

Installation

# npm
npm install variable-name-conversion

# yarn
yarn add variable-name-conversion

# pnpm
pnpm add variable-name-conversion

Usage

Value with Type

import VariableName from "variable-name-conversion";

const camel = new VariableName("hello_world").camel; //=> "helloWorld"
const kebab = new VariableName("fooBarBaz").kebab; //=> "foo-bar-baz"

Type only

Useful when you want to use static string type conversion without introduce runtime.

import type VariableName from "variable-name-conversion";

type Camel = VariableName<"hello_world">["camel"]; //=> "helloWorld"
type Kebab = VariableName<"fooBarBaz">["kebab"]; //=> "foo-bar-baz"

Options

keepCase

Should it maintain case sensitivity when converting to kebab-case, snake_case, etc.?

Default: false

Example:

const snakeI = new VariableName("XMLHttpRequest").snake; //=> "xml_http_request"
const snakeS = new VariableName("XMLHttpRequest", true).snake; //=> "XML_Http_Request"

const camelI = new VariableName("XMLHttpRequest").camel; //=> "xmlHttpRequest"
const camelS = new VariableName("XMLHttpRequest", true).camel; //=> "XMLHttpRequest"

type SnakeI = VariableName<"XMLHttpRequest">["snake"]; //=> "xml_http_request"
type SnakeS = VariableName<"XMLHttpRequest", true>["snake"]; //=> "XML_Http_Request"

type CamelI = VariableName<"XMLHttpRequest">["camel"]; //=> "xmlHttpRequest"
type CamelS = VariableName<"XMLHttpRequest", true>["camel"]; //=> "XMLHttpRequest"
