convert string with spaces into string with no spaces and camelCase javascript

Is there a way I can turn this string

let string = 'I have some spaces in it';

into

string = 'iHaveSomeSpacesInIt';

I know I can use 

string.split(' ').join('');

to take all the spaces out of the string but how can I transform the first uppercase letter to lowercase and then camelCase at all the spaces that have been removed??

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Maybe regex can help you lot more faster and produce a more clear code.

var regex = /\s+(\w)?/gi;
var input = 'I have some spaces in it';

var output = input.toLowerCase().replace(regex, function(match, letter) {
    return letter.toUpperCase();
});

console.log(output);

Use a specialized library like Lodash for this type of requirement instead of writing a custom logic:

let string = 'I have some spaces in it';
let finalString = _.camelCase(string);

console.log(finalString);

Sure, just map each word (except the first) and capitalize the first letter:

const input = 'I have some spaces in it'; 
const output = input
  .split(' ')
  .map((word, i) => {
    if (i === 0) return word.toLowerCase();
    return word.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + word.slice(1).toLowerCase();
  })
  .join('');
console.log(output);
