Convert object keys to camel case using camelcase

Install

npm install camelcase-keys

Usage

import camelcaseKeys from 'camelcase-keys';

// Convert an object
camelcaseKeys({'foo-bar': true});
//=> {fooBar: true}

// Convert an array of objects
camelcaseKeys([{'foo-bar': true}, {'bar-foo': false}]);
//=> [{fooBar: true}, {barFoo: false}]

import {parseArgs} from 'node:util';
import camelcaseKeys from 'camelcase-keys';

const commandLineArguments = parseArgs();
//=> {_: [], 'foo-bar': true}

camelcaseKeys(commandLineArguments);
//=> {_: [], fooBar: true}

API

camelcaseKeys(input, options?)

input

Type: Record<string, unknown> | ReadonlyArray<Record<string, unknown>>

A plain object or array of plain objects to camel-case.

options

Type: object

exclude

Type: Array<string | RegExp>
Default: []

Exclude keys from being camel-cased.

deep

Type: boolean
Default: false

Recurse nested objects and objects in arrays.

import camelcaseKeys from 'camelcase-keys';

const object = {
	'foo-bar': true,
	nested: {
		unicorn_rainbow: true
	}
};

camelcaseKeys(object, {deep: true});
//=> {fooBar: true, nested: {unicornRainbow: true}}

camelcaseKeys(object, {deep: false});
//=> {fooBar: true, nested: {unicorn_rainbow: true}}

pascalCase

Type: boolean
Default: false

Uppercase the first character: bye-bye → ByeBye

import camelcaseKeys from 'camelcase-keys';

camelcaseKeys({'foo-bar': true}, {pascalCase: true});
//=> {FooBar: true}

camelcaseKeys({'foo-bar': true}, {pascalCase: false});
//=> {fooBar: true}

preserveConsecutiveUppercase

Type: boolean
Default: false

Preserve consecutive uppercase characters: foo-BAR → FooBAR

import camelcaseKeys from 'camelcase-keys';

camelcaseKeys({'foo-BAR': true}, {preserveConsecutiveUppercase: true});
//=> {fooBAR: true}

camelcaseKeys({'foo-BAR': true}, {preserveConsecutiveUppercase: false});
//=> {fooBar: true}

stopPaths

Type: string[]
Default: []

Exclude children at the given object paths in dot-notation from being camel-cased.

For example, with an object like {a: {b: '🦄'}}, the object path to reach the unicorn is 'a.b'.

import camelcaseKeys from 'camelcase-keys';

const object = {
	a_b: 1,
	a_c: {
		c_d: 1,
		c_e: {
			e_f: 1
		}
	}
};

camelcaseKeys(object, {
	deep: true,
	stopPaths: [
		'a_c.c_e'
	]
}),
/*
{
	aB: 1,
	aC: {
		cD: 1,
		cE: {
			e_f: 1
		}
	}
}
*/
