Humanizer.Core Humanize String

Humanizer.Core provides a Humanize() string extension method that converts a computerized string into more readable human-friendly strings.

Let's consider the following simple example which contains different strings and it will convert it to readable human-friendly strings.

public static void Example1()
{
    List<string> list = new List<string>()
    {
        "MyTestString",
        "My_Test_String",
        "my_test_string",
    };

    foreach (var str in list)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(str.Humanize());
    }
}

Let's execute the above example and you will see the following output.

My test string
My Test String
my test string

A string that contains only unbroken upper case letters is always treated as an acronym regardless of its length.

public static void Example2()
{
    List<string> list = new List<string>()
    {
        "MYTESTSTRING",
        "MY_TEST_STRING",
    };

    foreach (var str in list)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(str.Humanize());
    }
}

Let's execute the above example and you will see the following output.

MYTESTSTRING
MY TEST STRING

You may also specify the desired letter casing by passing any of the following enum values as a parameter to the Humanize() method.

public enum LetterCasing
{
    Title = 0,    
    AllCaps = 1,  
    LowerCase = 2,
    Sentence = 3  
}

The following example converts the string to the various casing as specified as a parameter.

public static void Example3()
{
    string str = "MyTestString";

    Console.WriteLine(str.Humanize(LetterCasing.Title));
    Console.WriteLine(str.Humanize(LetterCasing.AllCaps));
    Console.WriteLine(str.Humanize(LetterCasing.LowerCase));
    Console.WriteLine(str.Humanize(LetterCasing.Sentence));
}

Let's execute the above example and you will see the following output.

My Test String
MY TEST STRING
my test string
My test string
