camelCase (Lodash compatibility)

::: warning Use camelCase from es-toolkit

This camelCase function operates slower due to handling non-string input values and removing contracted apostrophes.

Instead, use the faster and more modern camelCase from es-toolkit.

:::

Converts a string to camel case.

const result = camelCase(str);

Usage

camelCase(str)

Converts a string to camel case. Camel case is a naming convention where the first word starts with a lowercase letter and subsequent words begin with uppercase letters, all without spaces.

import { camelCase } from 'es-toolkit/compat';

camelCase('camelCase'); // 'camelCase'
camelCase('some whitespace'); // 'someWhitespace'
camelCase('hyphen-text'); // 'hyphenText'
camelCase('HTTPRequest'); // 'httpRequest'

Non-string values are also converted to strings before processing.

import { camelCase } from 'es-toolkit/compat';

camelCase(123); // '123'
camelCase(null); // ''
camelCase(undefined); // ''

Parameters

• str (string | object, optional): The value to convert to camel case.

Returns

(string): Returns the string converted to camel case.
