Auto-convert enum string values to Title Case?

Using Swift
1

Inferring from the default generated property list with every Xcode project, and documentation examples from Apple, each key entry is in title case and with spacing i.e. natural language.

However, I can't seem to find any conventional guidelines on how data is supposed to be entered in a plist. I ask because I am currently refactoring with enums to avoid potential miss-match complications, but as all enum cases must be written in camel case I have to add string associations, which can be quite verbose to look at.

If unchanged, string values are the same as their case name by default, and I was hoping there would be a quick way to simply conform to title case, but no such luck. However, I wonder now if I am supposed to leave spaces between words in a plist and this would be the the wrong anyway?

I asked about this: Howto: DRY way to capitalized String rawValue enum case name?

But not about plist...

I've seen in Apple example they just add a var displayName: String or var name: String getter to return properly spelled out text name.

Hi, thanks for the info!

I like the capitalized option, it's clean, easy and optional. I use title case without spacing inside my plist anyway, so I should be fine.
