# kebab-case

[![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url]

> Convert a string to kebab-case, i.e. its dash separated form

The difference between `kebab-case` and e.g. [`dashify`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/dashify) is that this
module doesn't modify the string in any other way than transforming uppercased letters to their lowercased
counterparts prefixed with `-`. Thanks to this there's also a [`reverse`](#kebabcasereversestr) function to
do the opposite, i.e. get back the original value.

This is used in [Unistyle](https://github.com/joakimbeng/unistyle) to transform JavaScript CSS properties
to their CSS counterparts without losing a possible browser prefix, e.g: `WebkitTransform -> -webkit-transform`.

## Installation

Install `kebab-case` using [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):

```bash
npm install --save kebab-case
```

## Usage

### Module usage

```javascript
var kebabCase = require("kebab-case");

kebabCase("WebkitTransform");
// "-webkit-transform"
kebabCase.reverse("-webkit-transform");
// "WebkitTransform"
```
