## What is this?

This package matches the case (lowercase, uppercase, capitalized) of a string to
that of another string.

## When should I use this?

This package is useful if a user wrote some word, and you want to suggest a
replacement, and want to make sure that the suggestion matches that of the
original.

## Install

This package is [ESM only][esm].
In Node.js (version 14.14+, 16.0+), install with [npm][]:

```sh
npm install match-casing
```

In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:

```js
import {matchCasing} from 'https://esm.sh/match-casing@2'
```

In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:

```html

import {matchCasing} from 'https://esm.sh/match-casing@2?bundle'

```

## Use

```js
import {matchCasing} from 'match-casing'

matchCasing('foo', 'BAZ') // => 'FOO'
matchCasing('foo', 'Baz') // => 'Foo'
matchCasing('foo', 'baz') // => 'foo'
matchCasing('foo', 'BaZ') // => 'foo'

matchCasing('FOO', 'BAZ') // => 'FOO'
matchCasing('FOO', 'Baz') // => 'Foo'
matchCasing('FOO', 'baz') // => 'foo'
matchCasing('FOO', 'BaZ') // => 'FOO'

matchCasing('Foo', 'BAZ') // => 'FOO'
matchCasing('Foo', 'Baz') // => 'Foo'
matchCasing('Foo', 'baz') // => 'foo'
matchCasing('Foo', 'BaZ') // => 'Foo'

matchCasing('’90S', '’twas') // => '’90s'
matchCasing('’N’', 'a') // => '’n’'
```

## API

This package exports the identifier `matchCasing`.
There is no default export.

### `matchCasing(value, base)`

Transform the case in `value` (`string`) to match that of `base` (`string`).

## Algorithm

* if `base` is uppercase, `value` is uppercased
* else, if `base` is lowercase, `value` is lowercased
* else, if the first alphabetic character in `base` is uppercase,
and the rest of `base` is lowercase, uppercase the first alphabetic
character in `value` and lowercase the rest
* else, return `value` unmodified

The third case deals with initial non-alphabetical characters as expected.

## Types

This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It exports no additional types.

## Compatibility

This package is at least compatible with all maintained versions of Node.js.
As of now, that is Node.js 14.14+ and 16.0+.
It also works in Deno and modern browsers.

## Security

This package is safe.
