Convert a camelcase or space-separated string to a dash-separated string. ~12 sloc, fast, supports diacritics.
The dashify npm package is a utility that converts a string with spaces or camelCase into a dash-separated string. This is particularly useful for creating URL slugs, CSS class names, or other identifiers that require a specific format.
Convert camelCase to dash-case
This feature allows you to convert a camelCase string into a dash-separated string. This is useful for transforming variable names or other identifiers into a format suitable for URLs or CSS class names.
const dashify = require('dashify');
const result = dashify('camelCaseString');
console.log(result); // Output: camel-case-stringConvert space-separated string to dash-case
This feature allows you to convert a space-separated string into a dash-separated string. This is useful for creating URL slugs or other identifiers from user input or other sources.
const dashify = require('dashify');
const result = dashify('space separated string');
console.log(result); // Output: space-separated-stringConvert mixed case and space-separated string to dash-case
This feature allows you to convert a string that contains both camelCase and spaces into a dash-separated string. This is useful for normalizing various types of input into a consistent format.
const dashify = require('dashify');
const result = dashify('MixedCase and space separated');
console.log(result); // Output: mixed-case-and-space-separatedThe slugify package converts strings into URL-friendly slugs. It offers more customization options compared to dashify, such as handling special characters and providing options for different separator characters.
The kebab-case package converts camelCase or space-separated strings into kebab-case (dash-separated) strings. It is similar to dashify but focuses specifically on converting to kebab-case.
The lodash.kebabcase function from the lodash library converts strings to kebab-case. It is part of the larger lodash utility library, which offers a wide range of functions for manipulating and working with data.

Install with npm:
$ npm install --save dashify
Most slugify libs cover way too many corner cases and are bloated and slow as a result. I made this as a fast and light alternative (it even supports diacritics in ~12 sloc).
var dashify = require('dashify');
console.log(dashify('fooBar'));
//=> 'foo-bar'
console.log(dashify('fooBarBaz'));
//=> 'foo-bar-baz'
console.log(dashify('foo bar'));
//=> 'foo-bar'
console.log(dashify('foo barBaz'));
//=> 'foo-bar-baz'
console.log(dashify('foo barBaz quux'));
//=> 'foo-bar-baz-quux'
console.log(dashify('São Tomé and Príncipe'));
//=> 'são-tomé-and-príncipe'
Type: boolean
Default: undefined
Condense multiple consecutive dashes to one.
console.log(dashify('Foo----Bar'));
//=> 'foo----bar'
console.log(dashify('Foo----Bar', {condense: true}));
//=> 'foo-bar'
