Convert dash-separated string to camelCase?

Question

For example suppose I always have a string that is delimited by \"-\". Is there a way to transform

it-is-a-great-day-today

to

itIsAGreatDayToday

Answer 1

here is the jsfiddle you can play with to test this http://jsfiddle.net/5n84w/2/

```

/**
 * Function to convert any string to camelCase
 * var regex = 'chetan-Ankola###.com---m13ok#-#alo(*finding!R%S#%-GFF'; 
 * Where [-_ .] is the seperator, you can add eg: '@' too
 * + is to handle repetition of seperator           
 * ? is to take care of preceeding token 
 * match nov(ember)? matches nov and november
 */
var camelCaser = function (str) {
    var camelCased = str.replace(/[-_ .]+(.)?/g, function (match, p) {
        if (p) {
            return p.toUpperCase();
        }
        return '';
    }).replace(/[^\w]/gi, '');
    return camelCased;
};
