将任何字符串转换为驼峰式大小写

Question

How can I convert a string into camel case using javascript regex?

EquipmentClass name or Equipment className or equipment class name or Equipment Class Name

should all become: equipmentClassName .

Answer 1

Looking at your code, you can achieve it with only two replace calls:

function camelize(str) {
  return str.replace(/(?:^\w|[A-Z]|\b\w)/g, function(word, index) {
    return index === 0 ? word.toLowerCase() : word.toUpperCase();
  }).replace(/\s+/g, '');
}

camelize("EquipmentClass name");
camelize("Equipment className");
camelize("equipment class name");
camelize("Equipment Class Name");
// all output "equipmentClassName"

Edit: Or in with a single replace call, capturing the white spaces also in the RegExp .

function camelize(str) {
  return str.replace(/(?:^\w|[A-Z]|\b\w|\s+)/g, function(match, index) {
    if (+match === 0) return ""; // or if (/\s+/.test(match)) for white spaces
    return index === 0 ? match.toLowerCase() : match.toUpperCase();
  });
}

Answer 2

If anyone is using lodash , there is a _.camelCase() function.

_.camelCase('Foo Bar');
// → 'fooBar'

_.camelCase('--foo-bar--');
// → 'fooBar'

_.camelCase('__FOO_BAR__');
// → 'fooBar'

ES5

var camalize = function camalize(str) {
    return str.toLowerCase().replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]+(.)/g, function(match, chr)
    {
        return chr.toUpperCase();
    });
}

ES6

var camalize = function camalize(str) {
    return str.toLowerCase().replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]+(.)/g, (m, chr) => chr.toUpperCase());
}

> To get ***C**amel**S**entence**C**ase* or ***P**ascal**C**ase*

 var camelSentence = function camelSentence(str) { return (" " + str).toLowerCase().replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]+(.)/g, function(match, chr) { return chr.toUpperCase(); }); }

Note :
For those language with accents. Do include À-ÖØ-öø-ÿ with the regex as following
.replace(/[^a-zA-ZÀ-ÖØ-öø-ÿ0-9]+(.)/g This is only for one language. For another language, you have to search and find

Answer 4

I just ended up doing this:

String.prototype.toCamelCase = function(str) {
    return str
        .replace(/\s(.)/g, function($1) { return $1.toUpperCase(); })
        .replace(/\s/g, '')
        .replace(/^(.)/, function($1) { return $1.toLowerCase(); });
}

I was trying to avoid chaining together multiple replace statements. Something where I'd have $1, $2, $3 in my function. But that type of grouping is hard to understand, and your mention about cross browser problems is something I never thought about as well.

Answer 5

You can use this solution :

function toCamelCase(str){
  return str.split(' ').map(function(word,index){
    // If it is the first word make sure to lowercase all the chars.
    if(index == 0){
      return word.toLowerCase();
    }
    // If it is not the first word only upper case the first char and lowercase the rest.
    return word.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + word.slice(1).toLowerCase();
  }).join('');
}

Answer 6

In Scott's specific case I'd go with something like:

String.prototype.toCamelCase = function() {
    return this.replace(/^([A-Z])|\s(\w)/g, function(match, p1, p2, offset) {
        if (p2) return p2.toUpperCase();
        return p1.toLowerCase();        
    });
};

'EquipmentClass name'.toCamelCase()  // -> equipmentClassName
'Equipment className'.toCamelCase()  // -> equipmentClassName
'equipment class name'.toCamelCase() // -> equipmentClassName
'Equipment Class Name'.toCamelCase() // -> equipmentClassName

The regex will match the first character if it starts with a capital letter, and any alphabetic character following a space, ie 2 or 3 times in the specified strings.

By spicing up the regex to /^([AZ])|[\s-_](\w)/g it will also camelize hyphen and underscore type names.

'hyphen-name-format'.toCamelCase()     // -> hyphenNameFormat
'underscore_name_format'.toCamelCase() // -> underscoreNameFormat

Answer 7

Reliable, high-performance example:

function camelize(text) {
    text = text.replace(/[-_\s.]+(.)?/g, (_, c) => c ? c.toUpperCase() : '');
    return text.substring(0, 1).toLowerCase() + text.substring(1);
}

Case-changing characters:

• hyphen -
• underscore _
• period .
• space

Answer 8

function toCamelCase(str) {
  // Lower cases the string
  return str.toLowerCase()
    // Replaces any - or _ characters with a space 
    .replace( /[-_]+/g, ' ')
    // Removes any non alphanumeric characters 
    .replace( /[^\w\s]/g, '')
    // Uppercases the first character in each group immediately following a space 
    // (delimited by spaces) 
    .replace( / (.)/g, function($1) { return $1.toUpperCase(); })
    // Removes spaces 
    .replace( / /g, '' );
}

I was trying to find a JavaScript function to camelCase a string, and wanted to make sure special characters would be removed (and I had trouble understanding what some of the answers above were doing). This is based on cc young's answer, with added comments and the removal of $peci&l characters.

Answer 9

If regexp isn't required, you might want to look at following code I made a long time ago for Twinkle :

String.prototype.toUpperCaseFirstChar = function() {
    return this.substr( 0, 1 ).toUpperCase() + this.substr( 1 );
}

String.prototype.toLowerCaseFirstChar = function() {
    return this.substr( 0, 1 ).toLowerCase() + this.substr( 1 );
}

String.prototype.toUpperCaseEachWord = function( delim ) {
    delim = delim ? delim : ' ';
    return this.split( delim ).map( function(v) { return v.toUpperCaseFirstChar() } ).join( delim );
}

String.prototype.toLowerCaseEachWord = function( delim ) {
    delim = delim ? delim : ' ';
    return this.split( delim ).map( function(v) { return v.toLowerCaseFirstChar() } ).join( delim );
}

I haven't made any performance tests, and regexp versions might or might not be faster.

Answer 10

My ES6 approach:

const camelCase = str => {
  let string = str.toLowerCase().replace(/[^A-Za-z0-9]/g, ' ').split(' ')
                  .reduce((result, word) => result + capitalize(word.toLowerCase()))
  return string.charAt(0).toLowerCase() + string.slice(1)
}

const capitalize = str => str.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + str.toLowerCase().slice(1)

let baz = 'foo bar'
let camel = camelCase(baz)
console.log(camel)  // "fooBar"
camelCase('foo bar')  // "fooBar"
camelCase('FOO BAR')  // "fooBar"
camelCase('x nN foo bar')  // "xNnFooBar"
camelCase('!--foo-¿?-bar--121-**%')  // "fooBar121"

Answer 11

Here is a one liner doing the work:

const camelCaseIt = string => string.toLowerCase().trim().split(/[.\-_\s]/g).reduce((string, word) => string + word[0].toUpperCase() + word.slice(1));

It splits the lower-cased string based on the list of characters provided in the RegExp [.\-_\s] (add more inside the []!) and returns a word array . Then, it reduces the array of strings to one concatenated string of words with uppercased first letters. Because the reduce has no initial value, it will start uppercasing first letters starting with the second word.

If you want PascalCase, just add an initial empty string ,'') to the reduce method.

This function by pass cammelcase such these tests

• Foo Bar
• --foo-bar--
• __FOO_BAR__-
• foo123Bar
• foo_Bar

 function toCamelCase(str) { var arr= str.match(/[az]+|\d+/gi); return arr.map((m,i)=>{ let low = m.toLowerCase(); if (i!=0){ low = low.split('').map((s,k)=>k==0?s.toUpperCase():s).join`` } return low; }).join``; } console.log(toCamelCase('Foo Bar')); console.log(toCamelCase('--foo-bar--')); console.log(toCamelCase('__FOO_BAR__-')); console.log(toCamelCase('foo123Bar')); console.log(toCamelCase('foo_Bar')); console.log(toCamelCase('EquipmentClass name')); console.log(toCamelCase('Equipment className')); console.log(toCamelCase('equipment class name')); console.log(toCamelCase('Equipment Class Name'));

Answer 13

lodash can do the trick sure and well:

var _ = require('lodash');
var result = _.camelCase('toto-ce héros') 
// result now contains "totoCeHeros"

Although lodash may be a "big" library (~4kB), it contains a lot of functions that you'd normally use a snippet for, or build yourself.

Answer 14

The top answer is terse but it doesn't handle all edge cases. For anyone needing a more robust utility, without any external dependencies:

function camelCase(str) {
    return (str.slice(0, 1).toLowerCase() + str.slice(1))
      .replace(/([-_ ]){1,}/g, ' ')
      .split(/[-_ ]/)
      .reduce((cur, acc) => {
        return cur + acc[0].toUpperCase() + acc.substring(1);
      });
}

function sepCase(str, sep = '-') {
    return str
      .replace(/[A-Z]/g, (letter, index) => {
        const lcLet = letter.toLowerCase();
        return index ? sep + lcLet : lcLet;
      })
      .replace(/([-_ ]){1,}/g, sep)
}

// All will return 'fooBarBaz'
console.log(camelCase('foo_bar_baz'))
console.log(camelCase('foo-bar-baz'))
console.log(camelCase('foo_bar--baz'))
console.log(camelCase('FooBar  Baz'))
console.log(camelCase('FooBarBaz'))
console.log(camelCase('fooBarBaz'))

// All will return 'foo-bar-baz'
console.log(sepCase('fooBarBaz'));
console.log(sepCase('FooBarBaz'));
console.log(sepCase('foo-bar-baz'));
console.log(sepCase('foo_bar_baz'));
console.log(sepCase('foo___ bar -baz'));
console.log(sepCase('foo-bar-baz'));

// All will return 'foo__bar__baz'
console.log(sepCase('fooBarBaz', '__'));
console.log(sepCase('foo-bar-baz', '__'));

Answer 16

Because this question needed yet another answer...

I tried several of the previous solutions, and all of them had one flaw or another. Some didn't remove punctuation; some didn't handle cases with numbers; some didn't handle multiple punctuations in a row.

None of them handled a string like a1 2b . There's no explicitly defined convention for this case, but some other stackoverflow questions suggested separating the numbers with an underscore.

I doubt this is the most performant answer (three regex passes through the string, rather than one or two), but it passes all the tests I can think of. To be honest, though, I really can't imagine a case where you're doing so many camel-case conversions that performance would matter.

(I added this as an npm package . It also includes an optional boolean parameter to return Pascal Case instead of Camel Case.)

const underscoreRegex = /(?:[^\w\s]|_)+/g,
    sandwichNumberRegex = /(\d)\s+(?=\d)/g,
    camelCaseRegex = /(?:^\s*\w|\b\w|\W+)/g;

String.prototype.toCamelCase = function() {
    if (/^\s*_[\s_]*$/g.test(this)) {
        return '_';
    }

    return this.replace(underscoreRegex, ' ')
        .replace(sandwichNumberRegex, '$1_')
        .replace(camelCaseRegex, function(match, index) {
            if (/^\W+$/.test(match)) {
                return '';
            }

            return index == 0 ? match.trimLeft().toLowerCase() : match.toUpperCase();
        });
}

Test cases (Jest)

test('Basic strings', () => {
    expect(''.toCamelCase()).toBe('');
    expect('A B C'.toCamelCase()).toBe('aBC');
    expect('aB c'.toCamelCase()).toBe('aBC');

Answer 17

following @Scott's readable approach, a little bit of fine tuning

// convert any string to camelCase
var toCamelCase = function(str) {
  return str.toLowerCase()
    .replace( /['"]/g, '' )
    .replace( /\W+/g, ' ' )
    .replace( / (.)/g, function($1) { return $1.toUpperCase(); })
    .replace( / /g, '' );
}

Answer 18

little modified Scott's answer:

toCamelCase = (string) ->
  string
    .replace /[\s|_|-](.)/g, ($1) -> $1.toUpperCase()
    .replace /[\s|_|-]/g, ''
    .replace /^(.)/, ($1) -> $1.toLowerCase()

now it replaces '-' and '_' too.

Answer 19

All 14 permutations below produce the same result of "equipmentClassName".

 String.prototype.toCamelCase = function() { return this.replace(/[^az ]/ig, '') // Replace everything but letters and spaces. .replace(/(?:^\w|[AZ]|\b\w|\s+)/g, // Find non-words, uppercase letters, leading-word letters, and multiple spaces. function(match, index) { return +match === 0 ? "" : match[index === 0 ? 'toLowerCase' : 'toUpperCase'](); }); } String.toCamelCase = function(str) { return str.toCamelCase(); } var testCases = [ "equipment class name", "equipment class Name", "equipment Class name", "equipment Class Name", "Equipment class name", "Equipment class Name", "Equipment Class name", "Equipment Class Name", "equipment className", "equipment ClassName", "Equipment ClassName", "equipmentClass name", "equipmentClass Name", "EquipmentClass Name" ]; for (var i = 0; i < testCases.length; i++) { console.log(testCases[i].toCamelCase()); };

Answer 20

you can use this solution:

 String.prototype.toCamelCase = function(){ return this.replace(/\s(\w)/ig, function(all, letter){return letter.toUpperCase();}) .replace(/(^\w)/, function($1){return $1.toLowerCase()}); }; console.log('Equipment className'.toCamelCase());

Answer 21

Here's my suggestion:

function toCamelCase(string) {
  return `${string}`
    .replace(new RegExp(/[-_]+/, 'g'), ' ')
    .replace(new RegExp(/[^\w\s]/, 'g'), '')
    .replace(
      new RegExp(/\s+(.)(\w+)/, 'g'),
      ($1, $2, $3) => `${$2.toUpperCase() + $3.toLowerCase()}`
    )
    .replace(new RegExp(/\s/, 'g'), '')
    .replace(new RegExp(/\w/), s => s.toLowerCase());
}

or

String.prototype.toCamelCase = function() {
  return this
    .replace(new RegExp(/[-_]+/, 'g'), ' ')
    .replace(new RegExp(/[^\w\s]/, 'g'), '')
    .replace(
      new RegExp(/\s+(.)(\w+)/, 'g'),
      ($1, $2, $3) => `${$2.toUpperCase() + $3.toLowerCase()}`
    )
    .replace(new RegExp(/\s/, 'g'), '')
    .replace(new RegExp(/\w/), s => s.toLowerCase());
};

Test cases:

describe('String to camel case', function() {
  it('should return a camel cased string', function() {
    chai.assert.equal(toCamelCase('foo bar'), 'fooBar');
    chai.assert.equal(toCamelCase('Foo Bar'), 'fooBar');
    chai.assert.equal(toCamelCase('fooBar'), 'fooBar');
    chai.assert.equal(toCamelCase('FooBar'), 'fooBar');
    chai.assert.equal(toCamelCase('--foo-bar--'), 'fooBar');
    chai.assert.equal(toCamelCase('__FOO_BAR__'), 'fooBar');
    chai.assert.equal(toCamelCase('!--foo-¿?-bar--121-**%'), 'fooBar121');
  });
});

Answer 22

There is my solution:

 const toCamelWord = (word, idx) => idx === 0 ? word.toLowerCase() : word.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + word.slice(1).toLowerCase(); const toCamelCase = text => text .split(/[_-\s]+/) .map(toCamelWord) .join(""); console.log(toCamelCase('User ID'))

Answer 23

To effectively create a function that converts the casing of a string to camel-case, the function will also need to convert each string to lower-case first, before transforming the casing of the first character of non-first strings to an uppercase letter.

My example string is:

"text That I WaNt to make cAMEL case"

Many other solutions provided to this question return this:

"textThatIWaNtToMakeCAMELCase"

What I believe should be the expected, desired output would be this though, where all the mid-string uppercase characters are first transformed to be lowercase:

"textThatIWanrtToMakeCamelCase"

This can be done WITHOUT using any replace() method calls, by utilizing the String.prototype.split() , Array.prototype.map() , and Array.prototype.join() methods:

≤ ES5 Version

function makeCamelCase(str) {
  return str
    .split(' ')
    .map((e,i) => i
      ? e.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + e.slice(1).toLowerCase()
      : e.toLowerCase()
    )
    .join('')
}

makeCamelCase("text That I WaNt to make cAMEL case")
// -> "textThatIWanrtToMakeCamelCase" ✅

I'll break down what each line does, and then provide the same solution in two other formats— ES6 and as a String.prototype method, though I'd advise against extending built-in JavaScript prototypes directly like this.

Explainer

function makeCamelCase(str) {
  return str
    // split string into array of different words by splitting at spaces
    .split(' ')
    // map array of words into two different cases, one for the first word (`i == false`) and one for all other words in the array (where `i == true`). `i` is a parameter that denotes the current index of the array item being evaluated. Because indexes start at `0` and `0` is a "falsy" value, we can use the false/else case of this ternary expression to match the first string where `i === 0`.
    .map((e,i) => i
      // for all non-first words, use a capitalized form of the first character + the lowercase version of the rest of the word (excluding the first character using the slice() method)
      ? e.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + e.slice(1).toLowerCase()
      // for the first word, we convert the entire word to lowercase
      : e.toLowerCase()
    )
    // finally, we join the different strings back together into a single string without spaces, our camel-cased string
    .join('')
}

makeCamelCase("text That I WaNt to make cAMEL case")
// -> "textThatIWanrtToMakeCamelCase" ✅

Condensed ES6+ (One-Liner) Version

const makeCamelCase = str => str.split(' ').map((e,i) => i ? e.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + e.slice(1).toLowerCase() : e.toLowerCase()).join('')

makeCamelCase("text That I WaNt to make cAMEL case")
// -> "textThatIWanrtToMakeCamelCase" ✅

String.prototype method version

String.prototype.toCamelCase = function() {
  return this
    .split(' ')
    .map((e,i) => i
      ? e.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + e.slice(1).toLowerCase()
      : e.toLowerCase()
    )
    .join('')
}

"text That I WaNt to make cAMEL case".toCamelCase()
// -> "textThatIWanrtToMakeCamelCase" ✅

Answer 24

This method seems to outperform most answers on here, it's a little bit hacky though, no replaces, no regex, simply building up a new string that's camelCase.

String.prototype.camelCase = function(){
    var newString = '';
    var lastEditedIndex;
    for (var i = 0; i < this.length; i++){
        if(this[i] == ' ' || this[i] == '-' || this[i] == '_'){
            newString += this[i+1].toUpperCase();
            lastEditedIndex = i+1;
        }
        else if(lastEditedIndex !== i) newString += this[i].toLowerCase();
    }
    return newString;
}

Answer 25

This builds on the answer by CMS by removing any non-alphabetic characters including underscores, which \w does not remove.

function toLowerCamelCase(str) {
    return str.replace(/[^A-Za-z0-9]/g, ' ').replace(/^\w|[A-Z]|\b\w|\s+/g, function (match, index) {
        if (+match === 0 || match === '-' || match === '.' ) {
            return ""; // or if (/\s+/.test(match)) for white spaces
        }
        return index === 0 ? match.toLowerCase() : match.toUpperCase();
    });
}

toLowerCamelCase("EquipmentClass name");
toLowerCamelCase("Equipment className");
toLowerCamelCase("equipment class name");
toLowerCamelCase("Equipment Class Name");
toLowerCamelCase("Equipment-Class-Name");
toLowerCamelCase("Equipment_Class_Name");
toLowerCamelCase("Equipment.Class.Name");
toLowerCamelCase("Equipment/Class/Name");
// All output e

Answer 26

在不使用正则表达式的情况下将大写驼峰式（“TestString”）转换为小写驼峰式（“testString”）（让我们面对现实吧，正则表达式是邪恶的）：

'TestString'.split('').reduce((t, v, k) => t + (k === 0 ? v.toLowerCase() : v), '');

Answer 27

I ended up crafting a slightly more aggressive solution:

function toCamelCase(str) {
  const [first, ...acc] = str.replace(/[^\w\d]/g, ' ').split(/\s+/);
  return first.toLowerCase() + acc.map(x => x.charAt(0).toUpperCase() 
    + x.slice(1).toLowerCase()).join('');
}

This one, above, will remove all non-alphanumeric characters and lowercase parts of words that would otherwise remain uppercased, eg

• Size (comparative) => sizeComparative
• GDP (official exchange rate) => gdpOfficialExchangeRate
• hello => hello

Answer 28

function convertStringToCamelCase(str){
    return str.split(' ').map(function(item, index){
        return index !== 0 
            ? item.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + item.substr(1) 
            : item.charAt(0).toLowerCase() + item.substr(1);
    }).join('');
}      

Answer 29

I know this is an old answer, but this handles both whitespace and _ (lodash)

function toCamelCase(s){
    return s
          .replace(/_/g, " ")
          .replace(/\s(.)/g, function($1) { return $1.toUpperCase(); })
          .replace(/\s/g, '')
          .replace(/^(.)/, function($1) { return $1.toLowerCase(); });
}

console.log(toCamelCase("Hello world");
console.log(toCamelCase("Hello_world");

// Both print "helloWorld"

Answer 30

const toCamelCase = str =>
  str
    .replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]+(.)/g, (m, chr) => chr.toUpperCase())
    .replace(/^\w/, c => c.toLowerCase());

Answer 31

Most answers do not handle unicode characters, eg accented characters.

If you want to handle unicode and accents, the following works in any modern browser:

camelCase = s => s
   .replace( /(?<!\p{L})\p{L}|\s+/gu,
              m => +m === 0 ? "" : m.toUpperCase() )
   .replace( /^./, 
             m => m?.toLowerCase() );

A couple of explanations:

1. because the question requires that the first character be lowercase, the second replace call is necessary.
2. the first replace call identifies any unicode letter that follows any non letter (equivalent of \b\w but working for non ASCII letters). The u flag (unicode) is necessary for this to work.

Note that this will keep uppercase letters unchanged. This is useful if your input text contains acronyms.

eg

console.log(camelCase("Shakespeare in FR is être ou ne pas être");
// => 'ShakespeareInFRIsÊtreOuNePasÊtre'

If you want pure camelCase where acronyms are turned lowercase, you can lower case the input text first.

Answer 32

Basic approach would be to split the string with a regex matching upper-case or spaces. Then you'd glue the pieces back together. Trick will be dealing with the various ways regex splits are broken/weird across browsers. There's a library or something that somebody wrote to fix those problems; I'll look for it.

    .replace(/(.)/g, function(a, l) { return l.toLowerCase(); })
    .replace(/(\s.)/g, function(a, l) { return l.toUpperCase(); })
    .replace(/[^A-Za-z\u00C0-\u00ff]/g,'');
// Returns "thisIsCamelCase"

Answer 34

Don't use String.prototype.toCamelCase() because String.prototypes are read-only, most of the js compilers will give you this warning.

Like me, those who know that the string will always contains only one space can use a simpler approach:

let name = 'test string';

let pieces = name.split(' ');

pieces = pieces.map((word, index) => word.charAt(0)[index===0 ? 'toLowerCase' :'toUpperCase']() + word.toLowerCase().slice(1));

return pieces.join('');

Have a good day. :)

Answer 35

I came up with this one liner which also works with kebab-case to CamelCase:

string.replace(/^(.)|[\s-](.)/g,
                (match) =>
                    match[1] !== undefined
                        ? match[1].toUpperCase()
                        : match[0].toUpperCase()
            )

Answer 36

There is a package to do this

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/buxizhizhoum/inflection"
)

func example () {
    // to convert a string to underscore
    res := inflection.Underscore("aA")
    // will return a_a
    fmt.Println(res)
    // to convert a string to camelize
    // will return AA
    fmt.Println(inflection.Camelize("a_a", true))
}

Answer 37

One funny way to do that is via dataset property.

 function camelize(dashString) { let el = document.createElement('div') el.setAttribute('data-'+dashString,'') return Object.keys(el.dataset)[0] } camelize('x-element') // 'xElement'

Answer 38

Coderbyte Camel Case Solution

Problem:

Have the function CamelCase(str) take the str parameter being passed and return it in proper camel case format where the first letter of each word is capitalized (excluding the first letter). The string will only contain letters and some combination of delimiter punctuation characters separating each word.

For example: if str is "BOB loves-coding" then your program should return the string bobLovesCoding.

Solution:

 function CamelCase(str) { return str.toLowerCase().replace(/[^\w]+(.)/g, (ltr) => ltr.toUpperCase()).replace(/[^a-zA-Z]/g, ''); } // keep this function call here console.log(CamelCase("cats AND*Dogs-are Awesome")); console.log(CamelCase("ab c def%g"));

Answer 39

I think this should work..

function cammelCase(str){
    let arr = str.split(' ');
    let words = arr.filter(v=>v!='');
    words.forEach((w, i)=>{
        words[i] = w.replace(/\w\S*/g, function(txt){
            return txt.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + txt.substr(1);
        });
    });
    return words.join('');
}

A super easy way, using the turboCommons library:

npm install turbocommons-es5

<script src="turbocommons-es5/turbocommons-es5.js"></script>

<script>
    var StringUtils = org_turbocommons.StringUtils;
    console.log(StringUtils.formatCase('EquipmentClass', StringUtils.FORMAT_LOWER_CAMEL_CASE));
    console.log(StringUtils.formatCase('Equipment className', StringUtils.FORMAT_LOWER_CAMEL_CASE));
    console.log(StringUtils.formatCase('equipment class name', StringUtils.FORMAT_LOWER_CAMEL_CASE));
    console.log(StringUtils.formatCase('Equipment Class Name', StringUtils.FORMAT_LOWER_CAMEL_CASE));
</script>

You can also use StringUtils.FORMAT_CAMEL_CASE and StringUtils.FORMAT_UPPER_CAMEL_CASE to generate first letter case variations.

Answer 41

This will convert any case string with spaces to thisWordsInCamelCase

String.prototype.toCamelCase = function () {
  return this.toString() && this.split(' ').map((word, index) => {
    return (index === 0 ? word[0].toLowerCase() : word[0].toUpperCase()) + word.slice(1).toLowerCase()
  }).join('');
}

Answer 42

Quick way

function toCamelCase(str) {
    return str[0].toUpperCase() + str.substr(1).toLowerCase();
}

Answer 43

 function camelCase(str) { return str.split(' ').map((x) => x.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + x.slice(1)).join(''); } console.log(camelCase('camel case word'));
