dev_ease

This library was created to make development easier and promote code reuse by providing a set of string manipulation utilities. It aims to simplify common operations, allowing developers to focus more on building features rather than repetitive tasks.

Features

1. convertHtmlEntities

Converts HTML entities in a string into their respective characters. This is useful when dealing with HTML content that uses special character encodings like & for &.

Usage:

String htmlString = "Hello & welcome!";
print(htmlString.convertHtmlEntities()); 
// Output: Hello & welcome!

2. removeDecimalZero

Removes unnecessary decimal points from numbers represented as strings. If the number is a whole number (e.g., "123.00"), it converts it to "123".

Usage:

String number = "123.00";
print(number.removeDecimalZero()); 
// Output: 123

3. toInt

Converts a string to an integer. If the string cannot be parsed to a valid number, it returns 0.

Usage:

String value = "42";
print(value.toInt()); 
// Output: 42

4. toDouble

Converts a string to a double. If the string cannot be parsed to a valid number, it returns 0.0.

Usage:

String value = "42.5";
print(value.toDouble()); 
// Output: 42.5

5. toCapitalize

Capitalizes the first letter of a string.

Usage:

String sentence = "hello world";
print(sentence.toCapitalize()); 
// Output: Hello world

6. toCapitalizeSentence

Capitalizes the first letter of each word in a string.

Usage:

String sentence = "hello world";
print(sentence.toCapitalizeSentence()); 
// Output: Hello World

7. toSnakeCase

Converts a string to snake_case by replacing spaces with underscores and converting to lowercase.

Usage:

String sentence = "Hello World";
print(sentence.toSnakeCase()); 
// Output: hello_world

8. toKebabCase

Converts a string to kebab-case by replacing spaces with hyphens and converting to lowercase.

Usage:

String sentence = "Hello World";
print(sentence.toKebabCase()); 
// Output: hello-world

9. containsIgnoreCase

Checks if the string contains another string, ignoring case sensitivity.

Usage:

String sentence = "Hello World";
print(sentence.containsIgnoreCase("world")); 
// Output: true

10. appendZero

Appends a leading zero to single-digit numbers (from 1 to 9), ensuring consistent formatting.

Usage:

int number = 7;
print(number.appendZero()); 
// Output: 07

11. formatToCustomDate

Converts a date string or DateTime object from one format to another.

Usage:

String date = "2023-10-08";
print(date.formatToCustomDate(inputFormat: 'yyyy-MM-dd', outputFormat: 'dd/MM/yyyy'));
// Output: 08/10/2023

12. formatUTCToLocal

Converts a UTC date string or DateTime object to local date and time in a specified format.

Usage:

String utcDate = "2023-10-08T12:00:00Z";
print(utcDate.formatUTCToLocal(inputFormat: 'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ', outputFormat: 'dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm a'));
// Output: 08/10/2023 12:00 PM
