## CLI
### Usage ```text Usage: camelcase [options] [] Options: -h, --help Print this message. -V, --version Print the package version. --split sep Delimiter for stdin data. Default: '/\\r?\\n/'. ```
### 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\nfoo_bar' | camelcase --split /\r?\n/ # Escaped... $ echo -n $'beep\nfoo_bar' | camelcase --split /\\r?\\n/ ``` - The implementation ignores trailing delimiters.
### Examples ```bash $ camelcase 'hello world!' helloWorld ``` To use as a [standard stream][standard-streams], ```bash $ echo -n 'beEp booP' | camelcase beEpBooP ``` 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\nfoo_bar' | camelcase --split '\t' beep fooBar ```
