Converts a string to camelcase.
- Use `String.prototype.match()` to break the string into words using an appropriate regexp.
- Use `Array.prototype.map()`, `Array.prototype.slice()`, `Array.prototype.join()`, `String.prototype.toLowerCase()` and `String.prototype.toUpperCase()` to combine them, capitalizing the first letter of each one.
```js
const toCamelCase = str => {
let s =
str &&
str
.match(
/[A-Z]{2,}(?=[A-Z][a-z]+[0-9]*|\b)|[A-Z]?[a-z]+[0-9]*|[A-Z]|[0-9]+/g
)
.map(x => x.slice(0, 1).toUpperCase() + x.slice(1).toLowerCase())
.join('');
return s.slice(0, 1).toLowerCase() + s.slice(1);
};
```
```js
toCamelCase('some_database_field_name'); // 'someDatabaseFieldName'
toCamelCase('Some label that needs to be camelized');
// 'someLabelThatNeedsToBeCamelized'
toCamelCase('some-javascript-property'); // 'someJavascriptProperty'
toCamelCase('some-mixed_string with spaces_underscores-and-hyphens');
// 'someMixedStringWithSpacesUnderscoresAndHyphens'
```
