TomlCamelCase

Overview

The TomlCamelCaseAttribute can be applied to any class, struct, or field. It will cause the serializer to use camelCase when serializing the value or values to TOML.

Effect

• When applied to a class or struct, it will cause the serializer to use camelCase when writing each field of the class or struct to TOML.
• When applied to a field, it will cause the serializer to use camelCase when writing the key of the field to TOML.

NOTE: This is will be ignored if the TomlKeyAttribute is applied to the field.

Inheritance

This attribute is not inherited by derived classes. However, fields of base classes marked with this attribute will still be serialized using camelCase.

It is also not propagated to child objects when serializing nested complex types. You must apply this attribute to other complex types within the object graph if you want them to be serialized using camelCase.

Usage

Class Example

[Serializable]
[TomlCamelCase]
public class Quest
{
    private string _questName;
    private string _questDescription;
    private int _minLevel;
    private bool _isRepeatable;
}

Would serialize into...

questName = "Gather 10 Wood"
questDescription = "Gather 10 pieces of wood."
minLevel = 1
isRepeatable = true

Notice that the keys of the fields are serialized using camelCase.

Field Example

[Serializable]
[TomlSnakeCase]
public class Quest
{
    [TomlCamelCase]
    private int _questId;
    
    private string _questName;
    private string _questDescription;
    private int _minLevel;
    private bool _isRepeatable;
}

Would serialize into...

questId = 1
quest_name = "Gather 10 Wood"
quest_description = "Gather 10 pieces of wood."
min_level = 1
is_repeatable = true

Notice that the key of the _questId field is serialized using camelCase even though the class is serialized using snake_case.
