As simple as it is, I was surprised that there was no libraries in pypi that purely handled changing of casing from one style to another. Sure simple .title() is easy. But this library allows you to easily take any casing type and go from one to the other.
Types supported
- camelCase (lower camel case)
- PascalCase (upper camel case)
- WikiCase
- snake_case
- param-case (for url's)
I only plan on supporting python 3, as that is what I primarily use. It works on python 3.3+. I have not tested on older versions.
Change Case is easy to use. You simply pass a string to get the new value. Example, if you want to convert a
camelCasedString to a snake_cased_string, you would simply run:
old = "camelCasedString" new = ChangeCase.camel_to_snake(old) print(new) # camel_cased_string
To see what is possibly, simply view the main file. You can run tests by running the file directly. You can also look at the tests to see the usage and response of each one.
You can easily run tests one of two ways. You can run the change_case.py file manually with python, and it will run the test.:
python3 change_case.py
or you can do this as well:
In [1]: from change_case import ChangeCase In [2]: ChangeCase.run_tests() camel_to_upper_camel tests passed. camel_to_pascal tests passed. camel_to_wiki tests passed. camel_to_snake tests passed. camel_to_param tests passed. pascal_to_camel tests passed. pascal_to_upper_camel tests passed. pascal_to_wiki tests passed. pascal_to_snake tests passed. pascal_to_param tests passed. wiki_to_camel tests passed. wiki_to_upper_camel tests passed. wiki_to_pascal tests passed. wiki_to_snake tests passed. wiki_to_param tests passed. snake_to_camel tests passed. snake_to_upper_camel tests passed. snake_to_pascal tests passed. snake_to_wiki tests passed. snake_to_param tests passed. param_to_camel tests passed. param_to_upper_camel tests passed. param_to_pascal tests passed. param_to_wiki tests passed. param_to_snake tests passed.
You can file any issues you find here:

It is fairly simple to add new case types. Simply add the methods to ChangeCase and add the tests to
ChangeCase.run_tests()
