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

import camelCase from 'camelcase';

camelCase('foo-bar');

API

camelCase(input, options?)

input

Type: string | string[]

The string to convert to camel case.

options

Type: object

pascalCase

Type: boolean
Default: false

Uppercase the first character: foo-bar → FooBar

import camelCase from 'camelcase';

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

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

preserveConsecutiveUppercase

Type: boolean
Default: false

Preserve consecutive uppercase characters: foo-BAR → FooBAR

import camelCase from 'camelcase';

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

camelCase('foo-BAR', {preserveConsecutiveUppercase: false});
//=> 'fooBar'

locale

Type: false | string | string[]
Default: The host environment’s current locale.

The locale parameter indicates the locale to be used to convert to upper/lower case according to any locale-specific case mappings. If multiple locales are given in an array, the best available locale is used.

import camelCase from 'camelcase';

camelCase('lorem-ipsum', {locale: 'en-US'});
//=> 'loremIpsum'

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

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

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

Setting locale: false ignores the platform locale and uses the Unicode Default Case Conversion algorithm:

import camelCase from 'camelcase';

// On a platform with `tr-TR`.

camelCase('lorem-ipsum');
//=> 'loremİpsum'

camelCase('lorem-ipsum', {locale: false});
//=> 'loremIpsum'
