Converts a string to pascal 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(), String.prototype.toUpperCase() and String.prototype.toLowerCase() to combine them, capitalizing the first letter of each word and lowercasing the rest.

const toPascalCase = 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.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + x.slice(1).toLowerCase())
    .join('');

toPascalCase('some_database_field_name'); // 'SomeDatabaseFieldName'
toPascalCase('Some label that needs to be pascalized');
// 'SomeLabelThatNeedsToBePascalized'
toPascalCase('some-javascript-property'); // 'SomeJavascriptProperty'
toPascalCase('some-mixed_string with spaces_underscores-and-hyphens');
// 'SomeMixedStringWithSpacesUnderscoresAndHyphens'
