Lodash _.toDash() Method

Lodash _.toDash() method is used to convert a camel case string to a dashed string.

Syntax:

_.toDash( camelCaseString);

Parameters:

This method takes one parameter as mentioned above and described below:

• camelCaseString: This method takes a camel Case String to convert into dashed string.

Return Value:

This method returns a converted dashed string.

Note: This will not work in normal JavaScript because it requires the lodash.js contrib library to be installed. Lodash.js contrib library can be installed using npm install lodash-contrib.

Example 1: In this example, the code utilizes the _.toDash method from the Lodash-contrib library to convert a camelCase string into a dashed string and displays the converted result in the console.

Javascript

// Defining lodash contrib variable
let _ = require('lodash-contrib');

let dashst  = _.toDash("geeksForGeeks");

console.log("The converted Dashed String is :", dashst);

Output:

The converted Dashed String is : geeks-for-geeks

Example 2: In this example, the code defines a variable using the Lodash-contrib library and employs the _.toDash method to convert a string from camelCase to a dashed format, displaying the converted result in the console.

Javascript

// Defining lodash contrib variable
let _ = require('lodash-contrib');

let dashst  = _.toDash("aBC");

console.log("The converted Dashed String is :", dashst);

Output: 

The converted Dashed String is : a-b-c
