Correctly handle Unicode characters

[sunknudsen]

The regular expressions in this package don’t support unicode characters such as àçéèù so camelCase("Licorne époustouflante") outputs licorne époustouflante.

Perhaps we could add a transliterate option that leverages transliterate so camelCase("Licorne époustouflante", { transliterate: true }) outputs licorneEpoustouflante.

Another slightly more complicated alternative would be to have camelCase("Licorne époustouflante", { transliterate: true }) output licorneÉpoustouflante.

What do you think? I could put a PR together.

Perhaps adding a camelcase option to @sindresorhus/slugify might a better alternative.

Looking for a way to convert any JavaScript property name (which can include all unicode characters) to camel case.

[sindresorhus]

A better way would be for the regexes used here to use Unicode property escapes, like done in https://github.com/sindresorhus/decamelize/blob/b445ed47a5548e2ba8fe41889807d17879faa7c5/index.js#L9-L10

[sverweij]

@sunknudsen / @sindresorhus I've put up a fix for this (see☝️, PR #62) which employs Unicode property escapes as suggested.

You can test whether it works for your use case by running npm install sverweij/camelcase. This will install it directly from the forked repo on github - the code will live there only until it's merged into this repo. Or when a better fix comes along, of course :-)
