transform [alpha, WIP]

Transform (selected) text in atom editor.

A collection of usefull text transformations.

The inspiration for this package comes comes from several TextMate packages. The small helpers like HTML > URI-Encode are the only thing I really miss, however I think these "transformations" of the current selection are better bundled together. For example, one might need to URI-encode a small snippet of text outside of a .html file.

Features

• adds commands to apply [transformations][#transformations] to the selected text
• works with multiple selections (like the built-in Edit > Text Commands)

Included Transformations

The following string methods from underscore.string are included as commands:

• clean: (no more than 1 whitespace)
• trim: (remove whitespace around)
• swapCase: Lorem Ipsum => lOREM iPSUM
• capitalize: lorem ipsum => Lorem ipsum
• titleize: lorem ipsum => Lorem Ipsum
• camelize: lorem ipsum factory_bean => loremIpsumFactoryBean
• underscored: Lorem Ipsum => lorem_ipsum
• dasherize: Lorem Ipsum => Lorem-Ipsum
• humanize: loremIpsum_FactoryBean => Lorem ipsum factory bean
• classify: Lor.em Ip sum => LorEmIpSum
• slugify: Lo!rem/ Ip = sum => lorem-ip-sum
• stripTags: Lorem <br>Ipsum => Lorem Ipsum
• escapeHTML: <b>Lorem Ipsum</b> => <b>Lorem Ipsum</b>
• unescapeHTML: <b>Lorem Ipsum</b> => <b>Lorem Ipsum</b>

The following URI methods are also available (via URIjs):

• encodeURI: !Lorem&Ipsum! => %21Lorem%26Ipsum%21
• decodeURI: Lorem%20%26%20Ipsum%20%5E%5E => Lorem & Ipsum ^^

Some additional built-ins:

• double: Lorem => LoremLorem

TODO

• make sure that the replaced text is properly selected (not the old range)

Open Questions

I am currently thinking about these topics and would appreciate input from the community:

• how to organize the different commands internally
• how to organize different command (groups) wrt menus, etc?
  • group it all in Packages > Transform > … and let the user configure which further menus to add where?
• does a base package extensible by plugins (ala autocomplete-plus) make sense?
