The way I solved this one was with by splitting the string using regEx, on any whitespace \s or underscores _, followed by a positive lookahead (?=[ for any uppercase characters ranging from A-Z])
str.split(/\s|_|(?=[A-Z])/)

Then I joined them back together together using .join('-'), placing a hyphen between them. And finally I used the .toLowerCase() method to convert all characters to lowercase.

const spinalCase =str => str.split(/\s|_|(?=[A-Z])/).join('-').toLowerCase()

You are welcome :slight_smile: Why does this have to be 20 or more characters? lol
