JavaScript: Find if the String Has a Particular Case

Helper methods to tell if the case of the string is camel, snake, kebab, upper, lower, or start.

Instead of writing our own logic to determine if the given string is of a particular case or not, we can write a helper method that acts as a wrapper, in which we compare the original string with the one returned by lodash method, and return true or false. The wrapper is a good way to pass on the responsibility of correct logic to lodash, a thoroughly tested library.

Following are the example codes:

isCapitalized

const isCapitalized = (str) => capitalize(str) === str;

console.log(isCapitalized("united")); 
// => false

console.log(isCapitalized("United")); 
// => true

isCamelCase

const isCamelCase = (str) => camelCase(str) === str;

console.log(isCamelCase("Firstname")); 
// => false

console.log(isCamelCase("firstName")); 
// => true

isKebabCase

const isKebabCase = (str) => kebabCase(str) === str;

console.log(isKebabCase("dataID")); 
// => false

console.log(isKebabCase("data-id")); 
// => true

isSnakeCase

const isSnakeCase = (str) => snakeCase(str) === str;

console.log(isSnakeCase("_first_name_")); 
// => false

console.log(isSnakeCase("first_name")); 
// => true

isStartCase

const isStartCase = (str) => startCase(str) === str;

console.log(isStartCase("Last name")); 
// => false

console.log(isStartCase("Last Name")); 
// => true

isUpperCase

const isUpperCase = (str) => upperCase(str) === str;

console.log(isUpperCase("Middle Name")); 
// => false

console.log(isUpperCase("MIDDLE NAME")); 
// => true

isLowerCase


const isLowerCase = (str) => lowerCase(str) === str;

console.log(isLowerCase("SSN")); 
// => false

console.log(isLowerCase("ssn")); 
// => true

isUpperFirst


const isUpperFirst = (str) => upperFirst(str) === str;

console.log(isUpperFirst("first name")); 
// => false

console.log(isUpperFirst("First name")); 
// => true

console.log(isUpperFirst("First Name")); 
// => true

isLowerFirst

const isLowerFirst = (str) => lowerFirst(str) === str;

console.log(isLowerFirst("software engineer")); 
// => true

console.log(isLowerFirst("Software engineer")); 
// => false

console.log(isLowerFirst("Software Engineer")); 
// => false
