1# **heck** is a case conversion library
2
3!["I specifically requested the opposite of this."](./no_step_on_snek.png)
4
5This library exists to provide case conversion between common cases like
6CamelCase and snake_case. It is intended to be unicode aware, internally
7consistent, and reasonably well performing.
8
9## Definition of a word boundary
10
11Word boundaries are defined as the "unicode words" defined in the
12`unicode_segmentation` library, as well as within those words in this manner:
13
141. All underscore characters are considered word boundaries.
152. If an uppercase character is followed by lowercase letters, a word boundary
16is considered to be just prior to that uppercase character.
173. If multiple uppercase characters are consecutive, they are considered to be
18within a single word, except that the last will be part of the next word if it
19is followed by lowercase characters (see rule 2).
20
21That is, "HelloWorld" is segmented `Hello|World` whereas "XMLHttpRequest" is
22segmented `XML|Http|Request`.
23
24Characters not within words (such as spaces, punctuations, and underscores)
25are not included in the output string except as they are a part of the case
26being converted to. Multiple adjacent word boundaries (such as a series of
27underscores) are folded into one. ("hello__world" in snake case is therefore
28"hello_world", not the exact same string). Leading or trailing word boundary
29indicators are dropped, except insofar as CamelCase capitalizes the first word.
30
31## Cases contained in this library:
32
331. UpperCamelCase
342. lowerCamelCase
353. snake_case
364. kebab-case
375. SHOUTY_SNAKE_CASE
386. Title Case
397. SHOUTY-KEBAB-CASE
408. Train-Case
41
42## Contributing
43
44PRs of additional well-established cases welcome.
45
46This library is a little bit opinionated (dropping punctuation, for example).
47If that doesn't fit your use case, I hope there is another crate that does. I
48would prefer **not** to receive PRs to make this behavior more configurable.
49
50Bug reports & fixes always welcome. :-)
51
52## MSRV
53
54The minimum supported Rust version for this crate is 1.32.0. This may change in
55minor or patch releases, but we probably won't ever require a very recent
56version. If you would like to have a stronger guarantee than that, please open
57an issue.
