TomlPascalCase

Overview

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

This is the default string casing so applying this attribute has no effect unless you have changed the default string casing for a class or struct.

Effect

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

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 PascalCase.

Usage

Class Example

[Serializable]
[TomlPascalCase]
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 PascalCase.

Field Example

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