camel-case

What is camel-case?

The camel-case npm package is a utility for converting strings into camelCase text. It is often used in programming environments where camelCase is the standard naming convention for identifiers, such as in JavaScript. This package can be particularly useful for formatting strings received from different sources (like user input or external APIs) to match the camelCase naming convention used in a codebase.

What are camel-case's main functionalities?

Convert string to camelCase

This feature allows you to convert any string, including phrases with spaces or special characters, into camelCase. It's useful for standardizing text input for variable names, object keys, or any other identifiers in code.

const { camelCase } = require('camel-case');

const result = camelCase('hello world');
console.log(result); // 'helloWorld'

Other packages similar to camel-case

change-case

change-case is a comprehensive string transformation library that includes camelCase among many other case transformations. It provides more extensive functionality compared to camel-case, which focuses solely on camel casing.

param-case

param-case is another package from the same family as camel-case, designed for converting strings into kebab-case (or param-case). While it serves a different specific case conversion, it is similar in its simplicity and focus.

snake-case

snake-case converts strings to snake_case. Like camel-case, it is focused on a specific string transformation, making it similar in its targeted functionality but different in the type of casing it applies.

Installation

npm install camel-case --save

Usage

import { camelCase } from "camel-case";

camelCase("string"); //=> "string"
camelCase("dot.case"); //=> "dotCase"
camelCase("PascalCase"); //=> "pascalCase"
camelCase("version 1.2.10"); //=> "version_1_2_10"

The function also accepts options.

Merge Numbers

If you'd like to remove the behavior prefixing _ before numbers, you can use camelCaseTransformMerge:

import { camelCaseTransformMerge } from "camel-case";

camelCase("version 12", { transform: camelCaseTransformMerge }); //=> "version12"
