camelcase

Convert a dash/dot/underscore/space separated string to camelCase or PascalCase: foo-bar → fooBar

Correctly handles Unicode strings.

If you use this on untrusted user input, don't forget to limit the length to something reasonable.

Install

$ npm install camelcase

If you need to support Firefox < 78, stay on version 5 as version 6 uses regex features not available in Firefox < 78.

Usage

const camelCase = require('camelcase');

camelCase('foo-bar');
//=> 'fooBar'

camelCase('foo_bar');
//=> 'fooBar'

camelCase('Foo-Bar');
//=> 'fooBar'

camelCase('розовый_пушистый_единорог');
//=> 'розовыйПушистыйЕдинорог'

camelCase('Foo-Bar', {pascalCase: true});
//=> 'FooBar'

camelCase('--foo.bar', {pascalCase: false});
//=> 'fooBar'

camelCase('Foo-BAR', {preserveConsecutiveUppercase: true});
//=> 'fooBAR'

camelCase('fooBAR', {pascalCase: true, preserveConsecutiveUppercase: true}));
//=> 'FooBAR'

camelCase('foo bar');
//=> 'fooBar'

console.log(process.argv[3]);
//=> '--foo-bar'
camelCase(process.argv[3]);
//=> 'fooBar'

camelCase(['foo', 'bar']);
//=> 'fooBar'

camelCase(['__foo__', '--bar'], {pascalCase: true});
//=> 'FooBar'

camelCase(['foo', 'BAR'], {pascalCase: true, preserveConsecutiveUppercase: true})

camelCase('lorem-ipsum', {locale: 'tr-TR'});
//=> 'loremİpsum'

camelCase('lorem-ipsum', {locale: ['en-US', 'en-GB']});
