Plissken

Gem Version CI

Have you ever needed to automatically convert JSON-style camelBack or CamelCase hash keys into more Rubyish snake_case?

Plissken to the rescue!

This gem recursively converts all camelBack or CamelCase keys in either a Hash structure, or an Array of Hashes, to snake_case.

Requirements

  • Ruby >= 2.7

Installation

Add this to your Gemfile:

gem "plissken"

Or install it yourself as:

gem install plissken

Usage

On hashes:

my_hash = { "firstKey" => 1, "fooBars" => [{ "bazBaz" => "value" }, { "blahBlah" => "value" }] }
snaked_hash = my_hash.to_snake_keys
# => { "first_key" => 1, "foo_bars" => [{ "baz_baz" => "value" }, { "blah_blah" => "value" }] }

On arrays:

my_array_of_hashes = [{ "firstKey" => 1, "fooBars" => [{ "bazBaz" => "value" }, { "blahBlah" => "value" }] }]
snaked_hash = my_array_of_hashes.to_snake_keys
# => [{"first_key" => 1, "foo_bars" => [{ "baz_baz" => "value" }, { "blah_blah" => "value" }] }]

Plissken works on either string keys or symbolized keys. It has no dependencies, as it has its own underscore method lifted out of ActiveSupport.

Limitations

  • Your keys must be camelBack or CamelCase. The key "Foo Bar" will output as "foo bar".
  • Unlike the original Snake Plissken in the seminal film Escape from New York, the plissken gem is non-destructive. There is no Hash#to_snake_keys! form.

Going the other way

If you've already got snake_case and need to CamelCase it, you are encouraged to try the Awrence gem.
