JavaScript String toLowerCase() Method

The JavaScript toLowerCase() method converts all characters in a string to lowercase, returning a new string without modifying the original.

It's commonly used for case-insensitive comparisons, standardizing text input, or formatting strings by ensuring all characters are in lowercase.

Syntax:

str.toLowerCase();

Return value:

This method returns a new string in which all the upper-case letters are converted to lowercase.

Example 1: Converting all characters of a string to lowercase

The toLowerCase() method converts all characters in the string 'GEEKSFORGEEKS' to lowercase. The resulting string 'geeksforgeeks' is then logged to the console.

let str = 'GEEKSFORGEEKS';

// Convert to lowercase
let string = str.toLowerCase();
console.log(string); 

geeksforgeeks

Example 2: Converting elements of array to lowercase

The code uses the map() method to create a new array where each element is converted to lowercase using the toLowerCase() method. The resulting array is ['javascript', 'html', 'css'], which is then logged to the console.

let languages = ['JAVASCRIPT', 'HTML', 'CSS'];

let result = languages.map(lang => lang.toLowerCase());
console.log(result);

[ 'javascript', 'html', 'css' ]
