toCamelCase

A simple JavaScript script that adds a comprehensive toCamelCase function to String.prototype. toCamelCase() includes an optional boolean parameter to output PascalCase instead of CamelCase.

This "pollutes" the String prototype which may or may not be an issue for you. It will not, however, overwrite String.prototype.toCamelCase if it is already defined.

If performance is an issue and you're running this over millions of strings, there are probably faster modules out there. This one uses three Regex passes over the string. For the majority of cases, however, this is not an issue.

Installation

For NPM:

npm install @dfoverdx/tocamelcase

Without NPM:

1. Download /dist/index.min.js from this repository and name it something like tocamelcase.min.js

2. Place it somewhere your webpage can access (e.g. /scripts/)

3. Add it to your HTML file

   <body>
       <!-- ... -->
       <script src="/scripts/tocamelcase.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
       <!-- scripts that use .toCamelCase() -->
   </body>
