_wp_to_kebab_case() WordPress Function
The _wp_to_kebab_case() function is a utility function that converts a string to kebab case. This is useful for sanitizing data before storing it in the database, or for creating slugs for URLs.
_wp_to_kebab_case( string $string ) #
This function is trying to replicate what lodash’s kebabCase (JS library) does in the client.
Description
The reason we need this function is that we do some processing in both the client and the server (e.g.: we generate preset classes from preset slugs) that needs to create the same output.
We can’t remove or update the client’s library due to backward compatibility (some of the output of lodash’s kebabCase is saved in the post content). We have to make the server behave like the client.
Changes to this function should follow updates in the client with the same logic.
Parameters
- $string
(string)(Required)The string to kebab-case.
Return
(string) kebab-cased-string.

//phpcs:disable WordPress.NamingConventions.ValidVariableName.VariableNotSnakeCase
// ignore the camelCase names for variables so the names are the same as lodash
// so comparing and porting new changes is easier.
/*
* Some notable things we've removed compared to the lodash version are:
*
* - non-alphanumeric characters: rsAstralRange, rsEmoji, etc
* - the groups that processed the apostrophe, as it's removed before passing the string to preg_match: rsApos, rsOptContrLower, and rsOptContrUpper
