to_camel_case

safir.pydantic.to_camel_case(string)

Convert a string to camel case.

Intended for use with Pydantic as an alias generator so that the model can be initialized from camel-case input, such as Kubernetes objects or settings from Helm charts.

Parameters:

string (str) – Input string.

Returns:

String converted to camel-case with the first character in lowercase.

Return type:

str

Examples

To support camelCase input to a model, use the following settings:

class Model(BaseModel):
    some_field: str

    model_config = ConfigDict(
        alias_generator=to_camel_case, populate_by_name=True
    )

This must be added to every class that uses snake_case for an attribute and that needs to be initialized from camelCase. Alternately, inherit from ~safir.pydantic.CamelCaseModel, which is derived from pydantic.BaseModel with those settings added.
