camelize

What is camelize?

The camelize npm package is designed to convert strings (including object keys) from various formats like snake_case, kebab-case, etc., into camelCase. This is particularly useful in JavaScript programming where camelCase is a common convention for naming variables and object keys.

What are camelize's main functionalities?

Camelizing strings

Converts a kebab-case or any other non-camelCase string into camelCase. For example, 'my-example-string' would be converted to 'myExampleString'.

"my-example-string".camelize()

Camelizing object keys

Converts all keys in an object from other formats into camelCase. For example, an object with keys 'my-key' and 'another_key' would have its keys converted to 'myKey' and 'anotherKey', respectively.

camelize({ 'my-key': true, 'another_key': 'value' })

Other packages similar to camelize

humps

Similar to camelize, humps is designed to convert strings and object keys between camelCase and snake_case. It offers more comprehensive options for decamelizing and camelize keys recursively in nested objects, which might make it a more versatile choice for some projects.

change-case

Change-case is a more comprehensive string manipulation library that includes functions for transforming strings into various cases, including camel case. It offers a wider range of case transformations compared to camelize, making it suitable for projects that require more than just camelization.

camelize

recursively transform key strings to camel-case

example

var camelize = require('camelize');
var obj = {
    fee_fie_foe: 'fum',
    beep_boop: [
        { 'abc.xyz': 'mno' },
        { 'foo-bar': 'baz' }
    ]
};
var res = camelize(obj);
console.log(JSON.stringify(res, null, 2));

output:

{
  "feeFieFoe": "fum",
  "beepBoop": [
    {
      "abcXyz": "mno"
    },
    {
      "fooBar": "baz"
    }
  ]
}

methods

var camelize = require('camelize')

camelize(obj)

Convert the key strings in obj to camel-case recursively.
