Intelligently converting strings to title case (an enhanced fork of David Gouch's library; now forked from @rvagg's fork)
npm install @frogpond/titlecaseThis is a fork of @rvagg's fork of David Gouch's excellent String#toTitleCase() method inspired by John Gruber's post on the topic
I've removed the default export, forcing you to choose between toTitleCase and toLaxTitleCase.
I've simply taken it off the String prototype and exported it from a simple module.
``js
let { toTitleCase } = require("titlecase")
console.log(toTitleCase("foo bar baz"))
`
See Gouch's page with inline converter. Also see this excellent table of test case results for different converters.
In addition, I've added a more comprehensive list of words to not capitalise that includes articles, prepositions and conjunctions (see source files for lists), I'm calling this "lax title case", use it like so:
`js
let { toLaxTitleCase } = require("titlecase")
console.log(toLaxTitleCase("foo bar baz"))
`
Instructions: Include the dist/index.js` script and use the toTitleCase() function on the string you want converted.
- Acknowledge characters outside of US-ASCII
- Fix bug related to hyphenated small words
- Replace baby's first testing script with the QUnit framework
- Fixed IE 7 breakage introduced in 2.0. Don't treat strings like character arrays.
- 15% less code and 35% easier to understand.
- Small words list moved to variable for easy modification.
- Test titles rewritten to focus on a single issue per title.
- More braces to make style guides and JSLint happier.
