I have been doing some hard directive/ html markup work and I came across a problem where I needed the normalized html tag attribute names.   (I was trying to create a html element but needed access to the normalized names without turning it into a directive)

Angular.js normalizes names like “test-name” and “data-test-name” to “testName”.  So I went ahead and extracted and wrapped the functions needed into the following function:

/** normalizes attribute names ,  stolen from angular.js */
   function normalizeAttributeName(attributeName) {
     // copied from angular.js v1.2.2
     // (c) 2010-2012 Google, Inc. http://angularjs.org
     // License: MIT
     // modified by me 😀
     var SPECIAL_CHARS_REGEXP = /([\:\-\_]+(.))/g;
     var MOZ_HACK_REGEXP = /^moz([A-Z])/;

     function camelCase(name) {
       return name.
         replace(SPECIAL_CHARS_REGEXP, function (_, separator, letter, offset) {
           return offset ? letter.toUpperCase() : letter;
         }).
         replace(MOZ_HACK_REGEXP, 'Moz$1');
     }

     var PREFIX_REGEXP = /^(x[\:\-_]|data[\:\-_])/i;

     function directiveNormalize(name) {
       return camelCase(name.replace(PREFIX_REGEXP, ''));
     }
     return directiveNormalize(attributeName);
   }

I did not find out how this could be done by just calling an angular api so  if you know how, please let me know 😀
