What's the best way (most efficient) to turn all the keys of an object to lower case?

Question

I\'ve come up with

function keysToLowerCase (obj) {
  var keys = Object.keys(obj);
  var n = keys.length;
  while (n--) {
    var key = keys[n]; // \"cache\"         


        

Answer 1

This is how I do it. My input can be anything and it recuses through nested objects as well as arrays of objects.

const fixKeys = input => Array.isArray(input)
  ? input.map(fixKeys)
  : typeof input === 'object'
  ? Object.keys(input).reduce((acc, elem) => {
      acc[elem.toLowerCase()] = fixKeys(input[elem])
      return acc
    }, {})
  : input

tested using mocha

const { expect } = require('chai')

const fixKeys = require('../../../src/utils/fixKeys')

describe('utils/fixKeys', () => {
  const original = {
    Some: 'data',
    With: {
      Nested: 'data'
    },
    And: [
      'an',
      'array',
      'of',
      'strings'
    ],
    AsWellAs: [
      { An: 'array of objects' }
    ]
  }

  const expected = {
    some: 'data',
    with: {
      nested: 'data'
    },
    and: [
      'an',
      'array',
      'of',
      'strings'
    ],
    aswellas: [{ an: 'array of objects' }]
  }

  let result

  before(() => {
    result = fixKeys(original)
  })

  it('left the original untouched', () => {
    expect(original).not.to.deep.equal(expected)
  })

  it('fixed the keys', () => {
    expect(result).to.deep.equal(expected)
  })
})
