{"id":5265,"library":"jinja2-strcase","title":"Jinja2 Strcase","description":"jinja2-strcase is a Python package that provides a set of filters for converting string cases within Jinja2 templates, including common formats like snake_case, kebab-case, and camelCase. It is currently at version 0.0.2 and is a port of the Go `strcase` package. The package has an 'Alpha' development status, indicating it is not yet stable for production use.","status":"active","version":"0.0.2","language":"en","source_language":"en","source_url":"https://github.com/marchmiel/jinja2-strcase","tags":["jinja2","template","string-manipulation","case-conversion","extension"],"install":[{"cmd":"pip install jinja2-strcase","lang":"bash","label":"Install with pip"}],"dependencies":[{"reason":"Core templating engine that this library extends.","package":"Jinja2","optional":false}],"imports":[{"note":"This is the primary extension to enable the case conversion filters in Jinja2.","symbol":"StrcaseExtension","correct":"from jinja2_strcase import StrcaseExtension"},{"note":"Required from the core Jinja2 library to create a templating environment.","symbol":"Environment","correct":"from jinja2 import Environment"}],"quickstart":{"code":"from jinja2 import Environment\nfrom jinja2_strcase import StrcaseExtension\n\n# Create a Jinja2 environment and load the StrcaseExtension\nenv = Environment(extensions=[StrcaseExtension])\n\n# Define a template using the 'to_snake' filter\ntemplate = env.from_string(\"{{ 'Any kind of string' | to_snake }}\")\nprint(f\"to_snake: {template.render()}\")\n\n# Example with another filter: to_screaming_snake\ntemplate_screaming_snake = env.from_string(\"{{ 'Another Test String' | to_screaming_snake }}\")\nprint(f\"to_screaming_snake: {template_screaming_snake.render()}\")\n\n# Example with to_camel\ntemplate_camel = env.from_string(\"{{ 'this is a camel case' | to_camel }}\")\nprint(f\"to_camel: {template_camel.render()}\")","lang":"python","description":"This quickstart demonstrates how to initialize a Jinja2 environment with the `StrcaseExtension` and then use various case conversion filters (e.g., `to_snake`, `to_screaming_snake`, `to_camel`) on strings within a template."},"warnings":[{"fix":"Review the project's GitHub repository for any changes before upgrading and test thoroughly.","message":"The package is currently in 'Development Status :: 3 - Alpha'.
