Convert string to camel case, snake case, kebab case / slugify, custom delimiter, pad string, tease string and many other functionality with help of by Stringy package. You can convert camelcase to snakecase or kebabcase, or snakecase to camelcase and kebabcase and vice versa. This package was inspired from PHP danielstjules/Stringy.
Golang has very rich strings core package despite some extra helper function are not available and this stringy package is here to fill that void. Plus there are other some packages in golang, that have same functionality but for some extreme cases they fail to provide correct output. This package cross flexibility is it's main advantage. You can convert to camelcase to snakecase or kebabcase or vice versa.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/gobeam/stringy"
)
func main() {
str := stringy.New("hello__man how-Are you??")
result := str.CamelCase("?", "")
fmt.Println(result) // HelloManHowAreYou
snakeStr := str.SnakeCase("?", "")
fmt.Println(snakeStr.ToLower()) // hello_man_how_are_you
kebabStr := str.KebabCase("?", "")
fmt.Println(kebabStr.ToUpper()) // HELLO-MAN-HOW-ARE-YOU
}
$ go get -u -v github.com/gobeam/stringy

Between takes two string params start and end which and returns value which is in middle of start and end part of input. You can chain to upper which with make result all uppercase or ToLower which will make result all lower case or Get which will return result as it is.
strBetween := stringy.New("HelloMyName")
fmt.Println(strBetween.Between("hello", "name").ToUpper()) // MY
Boolean func returns boolean value of string value like on, off, 0, 1, yes, no returns boolean value of string input. You can chain this function on other function which returns implemented StringManipulation interface.
boolString := stringy.New("off")
fmt.Println(boolString.Boolean()) // false
CamelCase is variadic function which takes one Param rule i.e slice of strings and it returns input type string in camel case form and rule helps to omit character you want to omit from string. By default special characters like "_", "-","."," " are treated like word separator and treated accordingly by default and you dont have to worry about it.
camelCase := stringy.New("ThisIsOne___messed up string. Can we Really camel-case It ?##")
fmt.Println(camelCase.CamelCase("?", "", "#", "")) // thisIsOneMessedUpStringCanWeReallyCamelCaseIt
look how it omitted ?## from string. If you dont want to omit anything and since it returns plain strings and you cant actually cap all or lower case all camelcase string its not required.
camelCase := stringy.New("ThisIsOne___messed up string. Can we Really camel-case It ?##")
fmt.Println(camelCase.CamelCase()) // thisIsOneMessedUpStringCanWeReallyCamelCaseIt?##
Contains checks if the string contains the specified substring and returns a boolean value. This is a wrapper around Go's standard strings.Contains function that fits into the Stringy interface.

fmt.Println(contains.ContainsAll("mam", "?")) // true
Delimited is variadic function that takes two params delimiter and slice of strings named rule. It joins the string by passed delimeter. Rule param helps to omit character you want to omit from string. By default special characters like "_", "-","."," " are treated like word separator and treated accordingly by default and you dont have to worry about it. If you don't want to omit any character pass empty string.
delimiterString := stringy.New("ThisIsOne___messed up string. Can we Really delimeter-case It?")
fmt.Println(delimiterString.Delimited("?").Get())
You can chain to upper which with make result all uppercase or ToLower which will make result all lower case or Get which will return result as it is.

Get simply returns result and can be chained on function which returns StringManipulation interface view above examples
getString := stringy.New("hello roshan")
fmt.Println(getString.Get()) // hello roshan
IsEmpty checks if the string is empty or contains only whitespace characters. It returns true for empty strings or strings containing only spaces, tabs, or newlines.
emptyStr := stringy.New("")
fmt.Println(emptyStr.IsEmpty()) // true
whitespaceStr := stringy.New(" \t\n")
fmt.Println(whitespaceStr.IsEmpty()) // true
normalStr := stringy.New("Hello")
fmt.Println(normalStr.IsEmpty()) // false
emptyStr := stringy.New("")
fmt.Println(emptyStr.IsEmpty()) // true

normalStr := stringy.New("Hello")
fmt.Println(normalStr.IsEmpty()) // false
#### KebabCase(rule ...string) StringManipulation
KebabCase/slugify is variadic function that takes one Param slice of strings named rule and it returns passed string in kebab case or slugify form. Rule param helps to omit character you want to omit from string.

If you don't want to omit any character pass nothing.
```go
str := stringy.New("hello__man how-Are you??")
