Function: normalizeIdentifier()

normalizeIdentifier(raw): string

Defined in: identifier.ts:69

Normalize whatever identifier-ish string the user handed us into the canonical Stimulus identifier:

"hello" → "hello" (plain, untouched) "myapp--mycontroller" → "myapp--mycontroller" (already canonical) "MyApp/MyController" → "myapp--mycontroller" "MyApp/MyController_controller.js" → "myapp--mycontroller" "users/list_controller" → "users--list"

Rules:

• If the string contains "/" or an uppercase letter or ends with a file extension, we route it through identifierFromPath.
• A trailing _controller on a plain (no‑slash) string is also stripped so stimulusController("hello_controller") DWIMs into hello.
• Otherwise we return it as-is (so already-valid identifiers like "hello", "myapp--mycontroller", "data-picker" round‑trip unchanged).
