Golang : Transform lisp or spinal case to Pascal case example




This is a continuation from the previous tutorial on how to detect the type of cases such as kebab, pascal or camel with a given input string. Below is an example of how to transform a spinal case such as kebab-is-delicious to Pascal case KebabIsDelicious.

Here you go!


 package main

 import (
 "errors"
 "fmt"
 "regexp"
 "strings"
 )

 func detectCaseType(str string) (string, error) {
 // types of case to detect
 // from https://github.com/qerub/camel-snake-kebab/blob/stable/src/camel_snake_kebab/core.cljc

 // PascalCase
 // Camel_Snake_Case
 // camelCase
 // SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE
 // snake_case
 // kebab-case
 // HTTP-Header-Case

 trimmed := strings.TrimSpace(str)

 if trimmed == "" {
 return "", errors.New("input string cannot be empty")
 }

 pascalCaseRE := regexp.MustCompile("^[A-Z][a-z]+(?:[A-Z][a-z]+)*$")
 camelSnakeCaseRE := regexp.MustCompile("^[A-Z][a-z]+(_[A-Z][a-z]+)*$")
 camelCaseRE := regexp.MustCompile("^[a-z]+(?:[A-Z][a-z]+)*$")
 screamingSnakeCaseRE := regexp.MustCompile("^[A-Z]+(_[A-Z]+)*$")
 snakeCaseRE := regexp.MustCompile("^[a-z]+(_[a-z]+)*$")
 kebabCaseRE := regexp.MustCompile("^[a-z]+(-[a-z]+)*$")
 // httpHeaderCaseRE -- skip this for now

 if pascalCaseRE.MatchString(trimmed) {
 return "PascalCase", nil
 }

 if camelSnakeCaseRE.MatchString(trimmed) {
 return "CamelSnakeCase", nil
 }

 if camelCaseRE.MatchString(trimmed) {
 return "CamelCase", nil
 }

 if screamingSnakeCaseRE.MatchString(trimmed) {
 return "ScreamingSnakeCase", nil
 }

 if snakeCaseRE.MatchString(trimmed) {
 return "SnakeCase", nil
 }

 if kebabCaseRE.MatchString(trimmed) {
 return "kebabCase", nil
 }

 // default
 return "normal case", nil

 }

 func kebabToPascalCase(str string) (pascalCase string) {

 // check if str is of kebab type
 caseType, _ := detectCaseType(str)

 if caseType != "kebabCase" {
 return "WARNING : input string must be of kebab, train or lisp case"
 }

 isToUpper := false

 for k, v := range str {
 if k == 0 {
 pascalCase = strings.ToUpper(string(str[0]))
 } else {
 if isToUpper {
 pascalCase += strings.ToUpper(string(v))
 isToUpper = false
 } else {
 if v == '-' {
 isToUpper = true
 } else {
 pascalCase += string(v)
 }
 }
 }
 }
 return
 }

 func main() {
 meatToSkew := "this is not a kebab-case string"
 result := kebabToPascalCase(meatToSkew)
 fmt.Println("[", meatToSkew, "] transform to Pascal case : [", result, "]")

 meatToSkew = "this-is-a-kebab-case-string"
 result1 := kebabToPascalCase(meatToSkew)
 fmt.Println("[", meatToSkew, "] transform to Pascal case : [", result1, "]")

 meatToSkew = "kebab-is-delicious"
 result2 := kebabToPascalCase(meatToSkew)
 fmt.Println("[", meatToSkew, "] transform to Pascal case : [", result2, "]")
 }

Output:

[ this is not a kebab-case string ] transform to Pascal case : [ WARNING : input string must be of kebab, train or lisp case ]

[ this-is-a-kebab-case-string ] transform to Pascal case : [ ThisIsAKebabCaseString ]

[ kebab-is-delicious ] transform to Pascal case : [ KebabIsDelicious ]
