Question

Anyone have a regex in javascript for converting:

someCamelCase into some-file-case

or

SomeCamelCase into some-file-case

??

If so, that would be very helpful.

Thanks.

You can make a simple regexp to capture a lowercase letter contiguous to an uppercase one, insert a dash between both and make the result all lowercase.

For example:

function fileCase(str) {
  return str.replace(/([a-z])([A-Z])/g, "$1-$2").toLowerCase();
}

fileCase('SomeCamelCase'); // "some-camel-case"
fileCase('someCamelCase'); // "some-camel-case"
