StringUtils/WordUtils camelize - underscore functionality
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: LANG-485
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-485
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Fabian Lange
I recently came across a problem which I expected to be solved already by
StringUtils or Word Utils.
Some input like "MY_TINY_PROPERTY" needed to be converted to a bean name
"myTinyProperty".
The code I wrote for that (far from perfect) looks like this:
private String toCamelCase(String value, boolean startWithLowerCase) {
String[] strings = StringUtils.split(value.toLowerCase(), "_");
for (int i = startWithLowerCase ? 1 : 0; i < strings.length; i++){
strings[i] = StringUtils.capitalize(strings[i]);
}
return StringUtils.join(strings);
}
The way back would be a bit more complicated.
If there is consensus that such a function could be useful, I am willing to
create a patch. However I can see reasons for not creating such a functionality
(especially with the way back) because requirements might differ. What is the
commons approach here. Implement something for the 80% case?
