jQuery Title Case

Question

Is there a built in way with jQuery to \"title case\" a string? So given something like bob smith, it turns into \"Bob Smith\"?

Answer 1

There isn't anything built-in to jQuery that does it, but you can checkout this site that has a basic code example:

http://jamesroberts.name/blog/2010/02/22/string-functions-for-javascript-trim-to-camel-case-to-dashed-and-to-underscore/

String.prototype.toCamel = function(){
    return this.replace(/(\-[a-z])/g, function($1){return $1.toUpperCase().replace('-','');});
};

It would seem that from there you could call the code like so:

var str = "my string to camel case";
str = str.toCamel();
if ( typeof console !== 'undefined' ) console.log(str);
