Camel casing is similar to studly case such that each word starts with a capitalized letter, with the difference being the first character is lower cased. Like the studly method, the camel method will not affect the casing of the rest of the word.

#Signature

The signature of the camel method is:

1public static function camel(
2        $value
3    );

#Example Use

The following examples will all return the string myWords:

 1use Illuminate\Support\Str;
 2 
 3// myWords
 4echo Str::camel('my words');
 5 
 6// myWords
 7echo Str::camel('my-words');
 8 
 9// myWords
10echo Str::camel('my_words');
11 
12// myWords
13echo Str::camel('   my-words_');

Again, the camel function does not affect the casing of any characters after the first one.

1use Illuminate\Support\Str;
2 
3// mYWORDS
4echo Str::camel('MY WORDS');
5 
6// mywords
7echo Str::camel('mywords');

#camel_case($value)

The camel_case function is a shortcut to calling Str::camel. This function is declared in the global namespace.
