String Multitool

Alfred workflow with handy string transforming tools.

Usage

Use keyword string (or custom keyword) to init String Multitool. Provide string as an argument and select needed transformation from list.

Chaining transformations

You can also chain transformations by providing transformation commands after / char.

For example:

Some string THat we need to use as variable Name! /lc

/lc command lowercases the string and then camelcases it yielding the result:

someStringThatWeNeedToUseAsVariableName

SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND! /l → say hello to my little friend!

Uppercase /u

Uppercase all chars.

Can you hear me Major Tom? /u → CAN YOU HEAR ME MAJOR TOM?

Pascalcase /p

Convert string to pascalcase and remove all non-word and non-digit chars.
