#### toAscii(str)
Simplify a string by removing unsupported characters by the ASCII table
Swap when possible additional characters by their equivalent
For example
| Chars | Become |
| :------ | :------- |
| À Á Â Ã Ä Å | A |
| ź ż ž | z |
| « » “ ” 〝 〞 | " |
`js
const toAscii = require('to-funcs/to-ascii')
// hello-world
toAscii('hêllø‐wörld')
// -
toAscii('💣-ؿ')
`
---
#### toBoolean(data, [fallback])
Check if data is a String representation of a Boolean
If yes, convert and return the boolean value otherwise return fallback
If data is already a boolean, return data
| Argument | Action |
| :------ | :------- |
| data | the tested data |fallback
| fallback | optional , default to undefined. Must be a boolean |
`js
const toBoolean = require('to-funcs/to-boolean')
// true
toBoolean('true')
// undefined
toBoolean('123')
// false
toBoolean('123', false)
// false
toBoolean(false)
`
---
#### toCamelCase(str)
Convert a string to a camel case
The string is simplified with toAscii
`js
const toCamelCase = require('to-funcs/to-camel-case')
// helloWorld
toCamelCase('hêllø‐wörld')
`
---
#### toNumber(data, [fallback])
Check if data is a String representation of a Number
If yes, convert and return the numeric value otherwise return fallback
Check also if data is a simple Math expression
If yes, evaluate it and return the numeric value otherwise return fallback
Accepted expressions are:
* number + number
* - number
number
* / number
If data is already a number, return data
| Argument | Action |
| :------ | :------- |
| data | the tested data |fallback
| fallback | optional , default to undefined. Must be a number |
`js
const toNumber = require('to-funcs/to-number')
// 1.23
toNumber('1.23')
// undefined
toNumber('0.1s')
// 1
toNumber('3.45s', 1)
// -1.23
toNumber(-1.23)
// 3
toNumber('1 + 2')
// .5
toNumber('.1 / .2')
`
---
#### toSlugCase(str)
Convert a string to a slug case
The string is simplified with toAscii
`js
const toSlugCase = require('to-funcs/to-slug-case')
// hello-world
toSlugCase('hêlløWörld')
// hello-world
toSlugCase('Hêllø Wörld')
