<!-- Package usage examples. -->

<section class="examples">

## Examples

```javascript
var constantcase = require( '@stdlib/string/constantcase' );

var str = 'Hello World!';
var out = constantcase( str );
// returns 'HELLO_WORLD'

str = 'I am a tiny little teapot';
out = constantcase( str );
// returns 'I_AM_A_TINY_LITTLE_TEAPOT'

str = 'with big problems';
out = constantcase( str );
// returns 'WITH_BIG_PROBLEMS'

str = 'To be, or not to be: that is the question.';
out = constantcase( str );
// returns 'TO_BE_OR_NOT_TO_BE_THAT_IS_THE_QUESTION'

str = 'isMobile';
out = constantcase( str );
// returns 'IS_MOBILE'

  -V,    --version             Print the package version.

<section class="notes">

### Notes

-   If the split separator is a [regular expression][mdn-regexp], ensure that the `split` option is either properly escaped or enclosed in quotes.

    ```bash
    # Not escaped...
    $ echo -n $'beEp booP\nisMobile' | constantcase --split /\r?\n/

    # Escaped...
    $ echo -n $'beEp booP\nisMobile' | constantcase --split /\\r?\\n/
    ```

-   The implementation ignores trailing delimiters.

</section>

<!-- /.notes -->

<section class="examples">

### Examples

```bash
$ constantcase 'hello world'
HELLO_WORLD
```

To use as a [standard stream][standard-streams],

```bash
$ echo -n 'beEp booP' | constantcase
BEEP_BOOP
```

To use as a [standard stream][standard-streams],

```bash
$ echo -n 'isMobile' | constantcase
IS_MOBILE
```

By default, when used as a [standard stream][standard-streams], the implementation assumes newline-delimited data. To specify an alternative delimiter, set the `split` option.

```bash
$ echo -n 'beep_boop\tisMobile' | constantcase --split '\t'
BEEP_BOOP
IS_MOBILE
```
