Case Converter

A robust python package for transforming string cases such as Hello, world! into helloWorld (camelcase).

General usage

from caseconverter import camelcase

camelcase("Hello, world!") # output: helloWorld

Delimeter behavior

If multiple delimeter characters are identified next to eachother they will be considered as a single delimeter. For example, -_ contains 2 different delimeter characters and is considered a single delimeter.

Available conversions

camelcase

from caseconverter import camelcase

camelcase("Hello, world!")

helloWorld

cobolcase

from caseconverter import cobolcase

cobolcase("Hello, world!")

HELLO-WORLD

flatcase

from caseconverter import flatcase

flatcase("Hello, world!")

helloworld

kebabcase

from caseconverter import kebabcase

kebabcase("Hello, world!")

hello-world

macrocase

from caseconverter import macrocase

macrocase("Hello, world!")

HELLO_WORLD

Additional options

delims_only : bool - Only consider delimiters as boundaries (default: False).

pascalcase

from caseconverter import pascalcase

pascalcase("Hello, world!")

HelloWorld

snakecase

from caseconverter import snakecase

snakecase("Hello, world!")

hello_world

Options for all conversions

Stripping punctuation

Punctuation is stripped when doing a case conversion. However, should you wish to keep the punctuation you can do so by passing strip_punctuation=False.

camelcase("Hello, world!", strip_punctuation=False) # output: hello,World!

Delimeter customization

Default delimiters used to denote a token boundary.

DELIMITERS = " -_"

You can pass delims to each case conversion function to specify a custom set of delimiters.

# Use a pipe `|` as the only delimiter.
camelcase("Hello,|world!", delims="|") # output: helloWorld
