JavaScript Lowercase
toLowerCase() returns a new string with every character converted to lower case. It returns a copy. Strings are immutable in JavaScript, so the original never changes.
Syntax
str.toLowerCase()Examples
| Input | Arguments | Output |
|---|---|---|
| "HELLO World" | — | "hello world" |
| "ÀÉÎ" | — | "àéî" |
| ↳ Handles accented characters too. | ||
When to use it
- Normalise user input before comparing (emails, usernames).
- Build case-insensitive search filters.
Gotchas
- Locale-specific casing (e.g. Turkish "İ") may need toLocaleLowerCase() instead.
