vrk recase

About

Converts between naming conventions - snake_case, camelCase, kebab-case, PascalCase, and Title Case. Auto-detects the input format so you just specify what you want. Handles acronyms correctly: HTMLParser becomes html_parser, not h_t_m_l_parser.

The problem

You need to convert getUserName to get_user_name for a database column. You write a regex but it breaks on acronyms - HTMLParser becomes h_t_m_l_parser instead of html_parser. Every naming convention edge case is its own bug.

Before and after

Before

echo 'getUserName' | sed 's/\([A-Z]\)/_\L\1/g' | sed 's/^_//'
# breaks on acronyms: HTMLParser -> h_t_m_l_parser

After

echo 'getUserName' | vrk recase --to snake

Example

echo 'getUserName' | vrk recase --to snake
