kebab-case

kebab-case

Convert a string to kebab-case, i.e. its dash separated form

The difference between kebab-case and e.g. dashify is that this module doesn't modify the string in any other way than transforming uppercased letters to their lowercased counterparts prefixed with -. Thanks to this there's also a reverse function to do the opposite, i.e. get back the original value.

This is used in Unistyle to transform JavaScript CSS properties to their CSS counterparts without losing a possible browser prefix, e.g: WebkitTransform -> -webkit-transform.

Installation

Install kebab-case using npm:

npm install --save kebab-case

Usage
