Angular service that converts camel case strings to hyphenated

Question

I understand that Angular converts directive names from camel case to hyphen separated strings.

Is this functionality accessible through the API, like a function or something? I would like to convert some strings to hyphenated versions in my angular app and I don't want to reinvent the wheel if not necessary.

Answer 1

The function used can be found here

Unfortunately, it is not available through API.

lodash has method kebabCase that does exactly this.

Answer 2

I used the below code to convert the Camelcase string into directive name format.

myApp.filter(`con2directivename`,function(){
   return function(name){
        return name.replace(/([A-Z])/g, function($1){return "-"+$1.toLowerCase();});
    };
});
