camel-converter 0.2.0.post1

Converts a string from snake case to camel case or camel case to snake case

Camel Converter

In JSON keys are frequently in camelCase format, while variable names in Python typically snake_case. The purpose of this pacakgae is to help convert between the two formats.

Usage

• To convert from camel case to snake case:

  from camel_converter import to_snake
  
  snake = to_snake("myString")
  

  This will convert myString into my_string

• To convert from snake case to camel case:

  from camel_converter import to_camel
  
  camel = to_camel("my_string")
  

  This will convert my_string into myString

• To convert from snake to upper camel case:

  from camel_converter import to_upper_camel
  
  upper_camel = to_upper_camel("my_string")
  

  This will convert my_string into MyString

Optional Extras

An optional extra is provided for Pydantic that provides a base class to automatically convert between snake case and camel case. To use this Pydantic class install camel converter with:

pip install camel-converter[pydantic]

Then your Pydantic classes can inherit from CamelBase.

from camel_converter.pydantic_base import CamelBase


class MyModel(CamelBase):
    test_field: str


my_data = MyModel(**{"testField": "my value"})
print(my_data.test_field)

will result in my value being printed.

With setting up your model in this way myField from the source, i.e. JSON data, will map to my_field in your model.
