.SYNOPSIS Converts a string to kebab-case format. .DESCRIPTION The ConvertTo-KebabCase function takes a string input and converts it to kebab-case format. It splits the input on spaces, underscores, hyphens, and PascalCase boundaries, then lowercases each word and joins them with hyphens. This is useful for formatting URL slugs, CSS class names, or other identifiers that need to follow kebab-case naming conventions. .PARAMETER Value The string value to convert to kebab-case format. Accepts pipeline input and empty strings. If the value is null or empty, the function returns the original value unchanged. .INPUTS System.String You can pipe one or more strings to ConvertTo-KebabCase. .OUTPUTS System.String Returns the input string converted to kebab-case format. .EXAMPLE ConvertTo-KebabCase -Value "HelloWorld" Returns: "hello-world" .EXAMPLE ConvertTo-KebabCase -Value "hello_world" Returns: "hello-world" .EXAMPLE "XMLParser" | ConvertTo-KebabCase Returns: "xml-parser" .NOTES Author: Nigel Tatschner Company: TheCodeSaiyan Version: 0.2.0 This function is part of the tcs.core module and is commonly used for formatting strings to match URL slug or CSS class naming conventions. .LINK https://ntatschner.github.io/TheCodeSaiyan-PowerShell-tcs.core/ #> function ConvertTo-KebabCase { [CmdletBinding()] [OutputType([System.String])] param( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeline = $true, Position = 0)] [AllowEmptyString()] [string]$Value ) process { if ([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($Value)) { return $Value } # Split on spaces, underscores, hyphens, and PascalCase boundaries $words = [regex]::Split($Value, '[\s_\-]+|(?<=[a-z])(?=[A-Z])|(?<=[A-Z])(?=[A-Z][a-z])') | Where-Object { $_ -ne '' } if ($words.Count -eq 0) { return $Value } $result = ($words | ForEach-Object { $_.ToLower() }) -join '-' return $result } } |
