Intelligently converting strings to title case (an enhanced fork of David Gouch's library)
npm install titlecaseThis is a fork of David Gouch's excellent String#toTitleCase() method inspired by John Gruber's post on the topic
I've simply taken it off the String prototype and exported it from a simple module.
``js
var 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
var toLaxTitleCase = require('titlecase').toLaxTitleCase
console.log(toLaxTitleCase('foo bar baz'))
`
Using as an executable
Install with npm install titlecase -g and you'll get a to-title-case executable that you can run to titlecase strings:
`
$ to-title-case "what is this thing?"
What Is This Thing?
Original README:
Instructions: Include the to-title-case.js script and use the new .toTitleCase() method on the string you want converted.
- 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.
