strcaseto

Utility for converting strings to specific cases such as CamelCase, kebab-case and snake_case.

The following is a table of all the strcase types supported:

strcase	example
camel	CamelCase
lower-camel	lowerCamelCase
kebab	kebab-case
screaming-kebab	SCREAMING-KEBAB-CASE
snake	snake_case
screaming-snake	SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE

INSTALLATION

# note: requires Go v1.22.6
> go install github.com/go-coreutils/strcase/cmd/strcaseto@latest

SYMLINKS

strcaseto supports a symlink feature for simplifying the usage of any supported strcase type.

For example: strcaseto --kebab CamelCasedInput would print camel-cased-input when run. Using a symlink to kebab would reduce the number of characters typed on the command line to: kebab CamcelCasedInput.

The following naming conventions are supported:

• to-<strcase>-case
• to-<strcase>
• <strcase>

Here's a little shell scripting to make these symlinks in ${GOPATH}/bin using the shortest naming convention supported:

for DST in camel kebab lower-camel screaming-kebab screaming-snake snake; \
do \
  ln -sv "${GOPATH}/bin/strcaseto" "${GOPATH}/bin/${DST}"; \
done

Now you can use the individual cases without needing to include command-line flags.

> camel "this string"
ThisString
> (echo -e "this string\nthat string") | screaming-kebab
THIS-STRING
THAT-STRING
