A command line interface version of Text Case.

Text Case is a text-transformation app for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS (by me). This project is essentially a subset of the functionality, made available as a command-line tool.

Install

You can checkout this repository and build from scratch, or to make it slightly easier, it's also available as a custom Homebrew tap.

Building From Source

It's pretty easy:

1. Check out the code.
2. Run swift build -c release.
3. You'll find the executable in .build/release/.

From Homebrew

Also, incredibly easy:

0. Make sure you have Homebrew installed.
1. Add the custom tap to your machine: brew tap chrishannah/textcase.
2. Install Text Case CLI: brew install textcase

To update Text Case CLI via Homebrew, you'll first have to run brew update to pull the latest changes from the tap, and if there's an update available, brew upgrade textcase will update it to the latest version.

Usage

You can use Text Case CLI via the textcase command.

It is split into two separate subcommands, format, and list-formats.

List Formats

You can see a list of the available formats, with textcase list-formats. This will show the identifier that you'll need to provide when formatting text, and also a short description.

Help text

OVERVIEW: Lists all available formats.

USAGE: text-case list-formats

OPTIONS:
  --version               Show the version.
  -h, --help              Show help information.

Format Text

You can format text with the format subcommand. However, this is the default subcommand, so it can also be omitted, with the same result.

Input

Input text can be passed via STDIN, as a string with the input-text option, or from a file by passing the parth.

Output

The text is writted to STDOUT by default. But you can also specify a file that can be written to instead.
