toKebabCase javascript Code Snippet in 2024

Converts a string to kebab case.

• Use String.prototype.match() to break the string into words using an appropriate regexp.
• Use Array.prototype.map(), Array.prototype.join() and String.prototype.toLowerCase() to combine them, adding - as a separator.

const toKebabCase = str =>
  str &&
  str
    .match(/[A-Z]{2,}(?=[A-Z][a-z]+[0-9]*|\b)|[A-Z]?[a-z]+[0-9]*|[A-Z]|[0-9]+/g)
    .map(x => x.toLowerCase())
    .join('-');
