toCamelCaseKeys

Returns a new object with all keys in objects and arrays converted to camelCase.

Camel case is a naming convention where the first word is lowercase and the first letter of subsequent words is capitalized and concatenated. For example, it's written as camelCase.

const camelCased = toCamelCaseKeys(obj);

Usage

toCamelCaseKeys(obj)

Use toCamelCaseKeys when you want to convert all keys of an object to camel case. Nested objects and objects within arrays are also converted recursively.

For example, object keys are converted as follows:

• snake_case → camelCase (e.g. user_id → userId)
• PascalCase → camelCase (e.g. UserId → userId)
• uppercase keys → camelCase (e.g. FIRST_NAME → firstName, LAST → last)

import { toCamelCaseKeys } from 'es-toolkit/object';

// Basic object conversion
const obj = { user_id: 1, first_name: 'John', last_name: 'Doe' };
const result = toCamelCaseKeys(obj);
// result is { userId: 1, firstName: 'John', lastName: 'Doe' }

// Objects within arrays are also converted
const users = [
  { user_id: 1, first_name: 'John' },
  { user_id: 2, first_name: 'Jane' },
];
const convertedUsers = toCamelCaseKeys(users);
// convertedUsers is [{ userId: 1, firstName: 'John' }, { userId: 2, firstName: 'Jane' }]

// Nested objects are fully converted
const nested = {
  user_data: {
    user_id: 1,
    contact_info: {
      email_address: 'john@example.com',
      phone_number: '123-456-7890',
    },
  },
};
const nestedResult = toCamelCaseKeys(nested);
// nestedResult is {
//   userData: {
//     userId: 1,
//     contactInfo: {
//       emailAddress: 'john@example.com',
//       phoneNumber: '123-456-7890'
//     }
//   }
// }

// PascalCase and uppercase keys are also converted
const raw = { UserId: 1, FIRST_NAME: 'JinHo', LAST: 'Yeom' };
const converted = toCamelCaseKeys(raw);
// converted is { userId: 1, firstName: 'JinHo', last: 'Yeom' }

Parameters

• obj (T): The object, array, or primitive value to convert keys to camelCase.

Returns

(ToCamelCaseKeys<T>): Returns a new object with all keys converted to camelCase.
