How to convert Camel case string to snake case

I have a string

str := "IGotInternAtGeeksForGeeks"

I try to convert it in to

str = "i_got_intern_at_geeks_for_geeks"

Solution

  • Try this,

    import (
    "fmt"
    "strings"
    "regexp"
)

var matchFirstCap = regexp.MustCompile("(.)([A-Z][a-z]+)")
var matchAllCap   = regexp.MustCompile("([a-z0-9])([A-Z])")

func ToSnakeCase(str string) string {
    snake := matchFirstCap.ReplaceAllString(str, "${1}_${2}")
    snake  = matchAllCap.ReplaceAllString(snake, "${1}_${2}")
    return strings.ToLower(snake)
}

    Run:

    func main() {   
    fmt.Println(ToSnakeCase("IGotInternAtGeeksForGeeks"))
}

    Output:

    i_got_intern_at_geeks_for_geeks

    NOTE: This will not work for many non-English languages.
