toCamelCase

Transform into a string with the separator denoted by the next word capitalized.

'test string'.toCamelCase(); // 'testString'

toCapitalCase

Transform into a space separated string with each word capitalized.

'test string'.toCapitalCase(); // 'Test String'

toConstantCase

Transform into upper case string with an underscore between words.

'test string'.toConstantCase(); // 'TEST_STRING'

toDotCase

Transform into a lower case string with a period between words.

'test string'.toDotCase(); // 'test.string'

toHeaderCase

Transform into a dash separated string of capitalized words.

'test string'.toHeaderCase(); // 'Test-String'

toNoCase

Transform into a lower cased string with spaces between words.

'testString'.toNoCase(); // 'test string'

toParamCase

Transform into a lower cased string with dashes between words.

'test string'.toParamCase(); // 'test-string'

toPascalCase

Transform into a string of capitalized words without separators.

'test string'.toPascalCase(); // 'TestString'

toPathCase

Transform into a lower case string with slashes between words.

'test string'.toPathCase(); // 'test/string'

// provide a separator override default '/'
'test string'.toPathCase(r'\'); // 'test\string'

toTitleCase

Transform a string into title case following English rules.

'a simple test'.toTitleCase(); // 'A Simple Test'

toSwapCase

'Test String'.toSwapCase(); // 'tEST sTRING'

isLowerCase

Returns true if the string is lower case only.

'test string'.isLowerCase(); // true

isUpperCase

Returns true if the string is upper case only.

'test string'.isUpperCase(); // false

toLowerFirstCase

Transforms the string with the first character in lower cased.

'TEST'.toLowerFirstCase(); // 'tEST'

toUpperFirstCase

Transforms the string with the first character in upper cased.

'test'.toUpperFirstCase(); // 'Test'

toSpongeCase

Transform into a string with random capitalization applied.

'Test String'.toSpongeCase(); // 'tEst stRINg'

Configuration

package:change_case has a configuration file, ChangeCaseConfig, that you can use to update splitPatterns, stripPatterns, and the placeholder which will be applied to most function listed above.

I don't suggest changing these unless you know what you are doing 😁

Patterns

Change case uses RegExp to split & replace characters of the string. While they are great at what they do, you may want to update or add new patterns.

These patterns can be updated by using the ChangeCaseConfig.setUp(splitPatterns: [...], stripPatterns: [...])

The default patterns are:

Note: (?:•)* is used to match any "•" (placeholder) character.

• Split

  • ChangeCaseConfig.lowerOrNumToUpperPattern

    // matches lowercase or numeric char to uppercase char
    RegExp('([a-z0-9])(?:•)*([A-Z])')
    

  • ChangeCaseConfig.lowerOrNumToUpperPattern

    // matches uppercase char to uppercase followed by lowercase char
    RegExp('([A-Z])(?:•)*([A-Z][a-z])')
    

• Strip

  • ChangeCaseConfig.upperToLowerPattern

    // matches any non-alphanumeric char
    RegExp('[^A-Z0-9]+', caseSensitive: false)
    

  • ChangeCaseConfig.lowerToNumOrUpperPattern (Not included in default, but can be used to add or replace)

    // matches lowercase char to numeric or uppercase char
    // changes the behavior to `word2019 -> word 2019` and `minifyURLs -> minify urls`
    RegExp('([a-z])([A-Z0-9])')
    

---

Placeholder

can be configured with ChangeCaseConfig.setUp(placeholder: ...)

The placeholder is a string that is added and used as a reference to configure each case.

The default placeholder is "•"

For example:

final string = 'test stringCase';
print(string.toCamelCase()); // expected: 'testStringCase'

// runs splitPatterns, returns "test string•Case"
// runs stripPatterns, returns "test•string•Case"
// runs camel case logic, returns "testStringCase"

This string needs to be a unique character that is not used in the string.
