Re: [lang] Appetite for new method StringUtils.toCamelCase(String str, char delimiter, boolean capitalizeFirstLetter)

[Amey Jadiye]

+1

I like the way of implementation, I think we should have class in Commons
text CaseUtils.toCamelCase(String str, char delimiter, boolean
capitalizeFirstLetter)
Also this can have api for snake case (not sure if java need it)

@chtompki , If you wish I will submit code for review.

Sorry to come late to this discussion. We should have a look at Guava’s 
CaseFormat class, which das camel case conversion and more. I think that design 
should lead yours. 
I’ve come to the conclusion that anything that is more complex than 
StringUtils.isEmpty(String) (e.g. needs more than one parameter) should not be 
implemented as a static util method. Such a design always leads to procedural 
style coding which is an anti pattern IMHO.
CaseFormat is a nice example of how should an API can be build more OOP style.

We've discussed deprecating WorldUtils once the wrapping methods are broken
out into separate classes. I'm in favour of an individual class to do this
work.

I like the idea. I've written similar code in a log4j2 branch for
normalizing configuration property names into camel case names.

+1 seems good to have in toolbox. pretty similar method I have seen in
Commons text WordUtils.capitalize() almost similar logic we will need here
,just not to capitalize first word and join them all, I'm in favour of
having this in WordUtils.

This is quite similar to what we are doing as well.

and @Gary - I like both ideas, WordUtils or CamelCaseUtils.

RE: [lang] Appetite for new method StringUtils.toCamelCase(String str, char delimiter, boolean capitalizeFirstLetter)

[Roger Whitcomb]

I have a similar method in our code -- the use case is to take user input 
(plain English field names, for instance) and turn it into variable names for 
DTOs (or similar).

Another use we have for it is taking Java format ENUM_NAMES and turning them 
into camelCaseVariableNames for things like dynamic property sheets.

+1. IMO it belongs in TEXT (if anywhere) and we should avoid classes 
+with
static methods.

Per our other conservation about case conversions, we should carefully specify 
whether this uses upper- or title-case and how it behaves in different locales.

OOI, what is your real world use case for this?

IMO camel casing is all about words so [text] WordUtils. But why not have a
CamelCaseUtils instead?

I’m ok with that path as well. It feels like it’s on the line between the two 
components. Either way, it sounds like you’re not opposed to adding it to a 
component.

Should it be TextUtils.toCamelCase(String str, char delimiter, boolean 
capitalizeFirstLetter), or WordUtils maybe, if we were to put it in [text]?

[lang] Appetite for new method StringUtils.toCamelCase(String str, char delimiter, boolean capitalizeFirstLetter)

[Rob Tompkins]

Hello all,

Folks at my day job have a method that takes in a space delimited String (or 
arbitrarily delimited string for that matter), and returns a camel cased 
string. Is there any reason that this shouldn’t be in StringUtils? It feels 
reasonable to me. What are folks thoughts?
