KeyConvert
KeyConvert
adds convenience methods for transforming keys in Map
s.
Nested maps will have their keys also converted (will provide a way to
limit it to first level in the future).
Installation
The package can be installed by adding key_convert
to your list of
dependencies in mix.exs
:
def deps do
[
{:key_convert, "~> 0.1.0"}
]
end
Usage
Snake Case
snake_case
converts the keys into all lower case separated by an underscore.
Atom
keys are converted into strings.
KeyConvert.snake_case(%{
contactInfo: %{emailAddress: "email@example.com"}
})
# %{"contact_info" => %{"email_address" => "email@example.com"}}
Camelize
camelize
converts the keys into camel-case. Atom
keys are converted into
strings. It will retain the case of the first letter.
KeyConvert.camelize(%{
contact_info: %{email_address: "email@example.com"}
})
# %{"contactInfo" => %{"emailAddress" => "email@example.com"}}
Convert
convert
provides a way to transform keys based on a function supplied
by the user. The transformer function should be able to take a key as an input
and return a new key which will be used for the converted Map
.
# converter function that appends the string ".changed"
append_change = fn key -> key <> ".changed" end
KeyConvert.convert(%{"total_amount" => 500}, append_change)
# %{"total_amount.changed" => 500}
