JavaScript Caesar shift
by Evan Hahn (evanhahn.com)

"Encrypt" like this:

    caesarShift('Attack at dawn!', 12);    // Returns "Mffmow mf pmiz!"

And "decrypt" like this:

    caesarShift('Mffmow mf pmiz!', -12);    // Returns "Attack at dawn!"

For simplicity, only works with ASCII characters.

Console.log at every turn to understand the inner mechanism. Happy coding!

@mosemet, your solution works only with min characters, a more complete solution :

function shift(letter, k, code) {
    return String.fromCharCode(((letter.charCodeAt() - code + k) % 26) + code);
}

function caesarCipher(s, k) {
    return s.replace(/[a-z]/g, char => shift(char, k, 97)).replace(/[A-Z]/g, char => shift(char, k, 65));
}

-------------------------- OR --------------------------

function isCharacterAMinLetter(char) {
  return (/[a-z]/).test(char)
}

function isCharacterAMajLetter(char) {
  return (/[A-Z]/).test(char)
}

function shift(letter, k, code) {
   return String.fromCharCode(((letter.charCodeAt() - code + k) % 26) + code);
}

return s.replace(/[A-Za-z]/g, char => {
  // check if min letter
  if (isCharacterAMinLetter(char)) {
      return shift(char, k, 97);
  } 
  // check if maj letter
  else if (isCharacterAMajLetter(char)) {
      return shift(char, k, 65);
  }
});

It's working perfectly. Thanks Evan for the awesome solution!!!

function rotateAlphabet(text, noOfChars = 0){

not safe to use, z will be decoded to ` instead of a
