Decapitalizes the first letter of a string.
|
|
|
|
- Use array destructuring and `String.prototype.toLowerCase()` to decapitalize first letter, `...rest` to get array of characters after first letter and then `Array.prototype.join()` to make it a string again.
|
|
- Omit the `upperRest` argument to keep the rest of the string intact, or set it to `true` to convert to uppercase.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const decapitalize = ([first, ...rest], upperRest = false) =>
|
|
first.toLowerCase() +
|
|
(upperRest ? rest.join('').toUpperCase() : rest.join(''));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
decapitalize('FooBar'); // 'fooBar'
|
|
decapitalize('FooBar', true); // 'fOOBAR'
|
|
```
