Born from a hatred of camel case manuscript titles.

nocamel

A simple command-line utility to convert camelCase or PascalCase strings to other more acceptable formats.

Description

nocamel is a Python-based CLI tool that aims to kill the camel case. Are there other ways to do this? Yes. Did I learn something while making it? Also Yes.

print(nocamel.__version__)

Usage

Command Line Interface

Basic usage:

nocamel "Your Camel Case String"

This will output: Your camel case string

Options

Convert from camel or pascal case to...

• -snake: to snake case "like_this"
• --sentence (default): to sentence case and inject spaces "Like this"
• --lower: to all lower case "like this" or "likethis"
• -h, --help: Show the help message

Examples

from nocamel import converters

result = converters.to_snake("helloWorldExample")

result_kebab = converters.to_kebob("Hello World Example")
print(result_kebab)  # Output: hello-world-example
