Functions

camelize(arg1)

Specs

camelize(String.t) :: String.t

Converts String to camel case.

Examples

iex> Phoenix.Naming.camelize("my_app")
"MyApp"

In general, camelize can be thought of as the reverse of underscore, however, in some cases formatting may be lost:

Phoenix.Naming.underscore "SAPExample"  #=> "sap_example"
Phoenix.Naming.camelize   "sap_example" #=> "SapExample"
humanize(atom)

Specs

humanize(atom | String.t) :: String.t

Converts an attribute/form field into its humanize version.

iex> Phoenix.Naming.humanize(:username)
"Username"
iex> Phoenix.Naming.humanize(:created_at)
"Created at"
iex> Phoenix.Naming.humanize("user_id")
"User"
resource_name(alias, suffix \\ "")

Specs

resource_name(String.Chars.t, String.t) :: String.t

Examples

iex> Phoenix.Naming.resource_name(MyApp.User)

iex> Phoenix.Naming.resource_name(MyApp.UserView, "View")
"user"
underscore(arg1)

Specs

underscore(String.t) :: String.t

Converts String to underscore case.

Examples

iex> Phoenix.Naming.underscore("MyApp")
"my_app"

In general, underscore can be thought of as the reverse of camelize, however, in some cases formatting may be lost:

Phoenix.Naming.underscore "SAPExample"  #=> "sap_example"
Phoenix.Naming.camelize   "sap_example" #=> "SapExample"
unsuffix(value, suffix)
