## What is `string-utils-lite`?
`string-utils-lite` is a **tiny, dependency-free JavaScript library** that makes common string transformations effortless and consistent across projects.
It provides simple helper functions for everyday string formatting needs:
- `capitalize` → Uppercases the first character, lowercases the rest
- `titleCase` → Capitalises the first character of every word
- `toKebabCase` → Converts text into `kebab-case`
- `toSnakeCase` → Converts text into `snake_case`
- `toCamelCase` → Converts text into `camelCase`
- `toPascalCase` → Converts text into `PascalCase`
---
## 💡 Why use this library?
JavaScript lacks built-in utilities for string case transformations (unlike Python’s `.title()` or `.capitalize()`).
While you could write ad-hoc functions, `string-utils-lite` saves time by offering:
- ✅ **Consistency** — same results across all projects
- ✅ **Zero dependencies** — lightweight, no bloat
- ✅ **Dual support** — works with both **ESM** and **CommonJS**
- ✅ **Tree-shakable** — import only what you need
Whether you’re cleaning up user input, formatting identifiers, or ensuring consistency in APIs, this library provides a clear and minimal solution.
## 📦 Installation
Using npm (recommended):
```bash
npm install string-utils-lite
## 🚀 Usage
You can use string-utils-lite in multiple environments:
ES Modules:
import { capitalize, titleCase, toKebabCase } from 'string-utils-lite';
console.log(capitalize('hELLo')); // "Hello"
console.log(titleCase('hELLO woRLD')); // "Hello World"
console.log(toKebabCase('Hello World')); // "hello-world"
CommonJS:
const { capitalize, titleCase } = require('string-utils-lite');
console.log(capitalize('hELLo')); // "Hello"
console.log(titleCase('foo bar')); // "Foo Bar"
CDN (Direct Browser Use):
No installation required! Load from a CDN like esm.sh and use in the browser. For example:
import { capitalize, titleCase } from "https://esm.sh/string-utils-lite";
console.log(capitalize("hELLo")); // "Hello"
console.log(titleCase("hELLO woRLD")); // "Hello World");
## 📚 API Reference
| Function | Description | Example Input | Example Output |
|-------------------|--------------------------------------------------|-----------------|-----------------|
| `capitalize(str)` | Uppercases the first letter, lowercases the rest | `"hELLo"` | `"Hello"` |
| `titleCase(str)` | Capitalises the first letter of each word | `"hELLO woRLD"` | `"Hello World"` |
| `toKebabCase(str)`| Converts string to kebab-case | `"Hello World"` | `"hello-world"` |
| `toSnakeCase(str)`| Converts string to snake_case | `"Hello World"` | `"hello_world"` |
| `toCamelCase(str)`| Converts string to camelCase | `"Hello World"` | `"helloWorld"` |
| `toPascalCase(str)`| Converts string to PascalCase | `"Hello World"` | `"HelloWorld"` |
> ℹ️ All functions are **pure**: they return a new string without mutating the input.
