# `String#camelize` Ruby Extension [![Build Status](https://github.com/kddnewton/fast_camelize/workflows/Main/badge.svg)](https://github.com/kddnewton/fast_camelize/actions) [![Gem Version](https://img.shields.io/gem/v/fast_camelize.svg)](https://rubygems.org/gems/fast_camelize) `fast_camelize` is a C extension that provides a fast implementation of [ActiveSupport's `String#camelize` method](http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/String.html#method-i-camelize). ## Is it fast? At last check, these were the benchmarks (obtained by running `bin/bench` with ActiveSupport 6.1.3): ``` Warming up -------------------------------------- ActiveSupport 20.000 i/100ms FastCamelize 74.000 i/100ms Calculating ------------------------------------- ActiveSupport 202.091 (± 7.4%) i/s - 1.020k in 5.081583s FastCamelize 974.025 (± 2.3%) i/s - 4.884k in 5.016944s Comparison: FastCamelize: 974.0 i/s ActiveSupport: 202.1 i/s - 4.82x (± 0.00) slower ``` ## Installation Add this line to your application's Gemfile: ```ruby gem 'fast_camelize' ``` And then execute: $ bundle Or install it yourself as: $ gem install fast_camelize ## Development After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake test` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment. To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org). ## Contributing Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/kddnewton/fast_camelize. ## License The gem is available as open source under the terms of the [MIT License](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT).
