Just use the String replace and toLowerCase methods  for example   var str    Sonic Free Games   str   str replace   s  g   -   toLowerCase    console log str       sonic-free-games    Notice the g flag on the RegExp  it will make the replacement globally within the string  if it s not used  only the first occurrence will be replaced  and also  that RegExp will match one or more white-space characters

Above answer can be considered to be confusing a little   String methods are not modifying original object  They return new object   It must be   var str    Sonic Free Games   str   str replace   s  g   -   toLowerCase      new object assigned to var str
