Converts a string to snake case.
- Use `String.prototype.match()` to break the string into words using an appropriate regexp.
- Use `Array.prototype.map()`, `Array.prototype.slice()`, `Array.prototype.join()` and `String.prototype.toLowerCase()` to combine them, adding `_` as a separator.
```js
const toSnakeCase = str =>
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.toLowerCase())
.join('_');
```
```js
toSnakeCase('camelCase'); // 'camel_case'
toSnakeCase('some text'); // 'some_text'
toSnakeCase('some-mixed_string With spaces_underscores-and-hyphens');
// 'some_mixed_string_with_spaces_underscores_and_hyphens'
toSnakeCase('AllThe-small Things'); // 'all_the_small_things'
toKebabCase('IAmEditingSomeXMLAndHTML');
// 'i_am_editing_some_xml_and_html'
```
