In this article, given a string and the task is to convert it into camelCase using JavaScript. In this case, the first character of the string is converted into lowercase and other characters after space will be converted into uppercase characters.

Approach 1: Use str.replace() method to replace the first character of the string in lower case and other characters after space will be in upper case. The toUpperCase() and toLowerCase() methods are used to convert the string character into upper case and lower case respectively.

Example 1: This example uses RegExp, toLowerCase() and toUpperCase() methods to convert a string into camelCase.
