jQuery.extend (String.prototype, {
  camelize: function () {
    return this.replace (/(?:^|[-_])(\w)/g, function (_, c) {
      return c ? c.toUpperCase () : '';
    })
  }
});

thanks!

vanilla version:

String.prototype.camelize = function () {
return this.replace (/(?:^|[-])(\w)/g, function (, c) {
return c ? c.toUpperCase () : '';
});
}

@knutole: modifying the prototype of a built-in type is considered bad practice in JavaScript...

Thanks!

@mishrud get over it

👍 thanks

More ES6ish:

const camelCase = (string) => {
/*
 * by http://stackoverflow.com/users/140811/scott
 * at http://stackoverflow.com/a/2970588/6776673
 */
  return string
    .replace(/\s(.)/g, $1 => $1.toUpperCase())
    .replace(/\s/g, '')
    .replace(/^(.)/, $1 => $1.toLowerCase())
}
