Convert hyphens to camel case (camelCase)

Question

With regex (i assume) or some other method, how can i convert things like:

marker-image or my-example-setting to markerImage o

Answer 1

is also possible use indexOf with recursion for that task.

input some-foo_sd_dsd-weqe
output someFooSdDsdWeqe

comparison ::: measure execution time for two different scripts:

$ node camelCased.js
someFooSdDsdWeqe
test1: 2.986ms
someFooSdDsdWeqe
test2: 0.231ms

code:

console.time('test1');
function camelCased (str) {

        function check(symb){

            let idxOf = str.indexOf(symb);
            if (idxOf === -1) {
                return str;
            }

            let letter = str[idxOf+1].toUpperCase();
            str = str.replace(str.substring(idxOf+1,idxOf+2), '');
            str = str.split(symb).join(idxOf !== -1 ? letter : '');

            return camelCased(str);
        }       

        return check('_') && check('-');

    }

console.log(camelCased ('some-foo_sd_dsd-weqe'));
console.timeEnd('test1');



console.time('test2');

    function camelCased (myString){
     return myString.replace(/(-|\_)([a-z])/g, function (g) { return  g[1].toUpperCase(); });
   }


console.log(camelCased ('some-foo_sd_dsd-weqe'));
console.timeEnd('test2');
