usage

Change String Case GitHub Action

This action accepts any string, and outputs three different versions of that string:

• lowercase (XyZzY -> xyzzy)
• uppercase (XyZzY -> XYZZY)
• capitalized (Xyzzy -> Xyzzy)
• dashnormalized (Xy.ZzY -> xy-zzy)

You can access the outputted strings through the job outputs context. See docs here, or the Example Usage section below.

Inputs

string

Required The string you want manipulated

Outputs

lowercase

lowercase="${{ inputs.string }}".lower()

Example: XyZzY -> xyzzy

uppercase

uppercase="${{ inputs.string }}".upper()

Example: XyZzY -> XYZZY

capitalized

lowercase="${{ inputs.string }}".lower()
uppercase="${{ inputs.string }}".upper()
capitalized=f'{uppercase[:1]}{lowercase[1:]}'

Example: XyZzY -> Xyzzy

dashnormalized

lowercase="${{ inputs.string }}".lower()
dashnormalized=''.join(x if x.isalnum() else '-' for x in lowercase)

Example: Xy.ZzY -> xy-zzy
