toKebabCase

Converts a string to kebab case. Use replace() to add spaces before capital letters, convert toLowerCase(), then replace() underscores and spaces with hyphens. Also check if a string starts with a hyphen and remove it if yes.

const toKebabCase = str => {
    str = str.replace(/([A-Z])/g," $1").toLowerCase().replace(/_/g,' ').replace(/-/g,' ').replace(/\s\s+/g, ' ').replace(/\s/g,'-');
    return str.startsWith('-') ? str.slice(1,str.length) : str;
}
