Ucwords for Javascript
25 Sep 2012PHP has a great function ucwords that
uppercases the first character of each word in a string. So hello world
becomes Hello World
.
Javascript and jQuery are both missing this usefull function so I mashed together the below port of ucwords to javascript
ucwords.js
String.prototype.ucwords = function() {
str = this.toLowerCase();
return str.replace(/(^([a-zA-Z\p{M}]))|([ -][a-zA-Z\p{M}])/g,
function($1){
return $1.toUpperCase();
});
}
Example usage:
var hello = 'HELLO world';
hello.ucwords();
This will convert HELLO world
to Hello World
, etc..
Note: A pure port of PHPs ucwords would remove the str = this.toLowerCase();
line so as leave
capitalised words as it
