Answer 1

Here is another option that combines a couple answers here and makes it method on a string:

if (typeof String.prototype.toCamel !== 'function') {
  String.prototype.toCamel = function(){
    return this.replace(/[-_]([a-z])/g, function (g) { return g[1].toUpperCase(); })
  };
}

Used like this:

'quick_brown'.toCamel(); // quickBrown
'quick-brown'.toCamel(); // quickBrown
