capitalize a string, or all words in a string

Hi

I'm Stephen, a full-stack-ish developer working at a company called Dropscan. I do a lot of React & Typescript, as well as Rails, infrastructure and whatever else needs to be done.

Most of my open-source projects are pretty much unmaintained though I do try to check issues ~monthly. E-mail me if you really need my attention.

js-capitalize's Issues

Add tests

You have example tests in the README, but none in the repository?

Feature Request: Keep minor words in lowercase

I know this is very complicated, but at least we can support a simplified version: lowercase all articles (a, an, the), coordinating conjunctions (and, or, but, …) and (short) prepositions (in, on, for, up, …). This should at least help with a decent amount of not grammar-focused computer science use cases

Capitalises first letter in ordinal string (e.g. 1St, 2Nd, 3Rd)

I'm trying to use this package across a range of strings which on occasion include written ordinal numbers e.g. 1st time, 2nd time, 3rd time.

This unfortunately returns 1St Time, 2Nd Time, 3Rd Time.

I'm willing to have anyone challenge otherwise here but I can't really see a use case for this so i'm proposing that strings starting with numbers are excluded.

(Or at least provide an optional parameter for it?)

Issues with quotes

Here are some test cases for the issues. First test case is what you have in the README. Second and third test cases are the issues.

var capitalize = require('capitalize')

var test = require('tape')

test('Quotes test case 1', function(t) {
    t.plan(1)
    t.equal(capitalize.words("it's a nice day"), "It's A Nice Day")
})

// This becomes: It’S A Boy
test('Quotes test case 2', function(t) {
    t.plan(1)
    t.equal(capitalize.words("It’s a Boy"), "It’s a Boy")
})

// This becomes: 'there's Angels Among Us'
test('Quotes test case 3', function(t) {
    t.plan(1)
    t.equal(capitalize.words("'There's angels among us'"), "'There's Angels Among Us'")
})

[Feature] Ignore certain words like un di

I wrote this quickly but your welcome to take it or change it.

const STRING_UP = (string) =>{ if (typeof string !== 'string') return; const avoid = ['di','un']; let str = string.split(' '); let _s = ''; let max = str.length -1; str.forEach((s,i) =>{ if(avoid.find((_a) => _a === s)){ console.log('turd in punchbowl'); _s += s; if(i !== max) _s+= ' '; }else{ _s += s.toLowerCase().replace(/(^|[^a-zA-Z\u00C0-\u017F'])([a-zA-Z\u00C0-\u017F])/g, function (m) { return m.toUpperCase(); }); if(i !== max) _s+= ' '; } }); return _s; };

[Question] Unicode range

Just curiosity, I crated a word parsers and I'm using a slightly different unicode range.

Could be possible determinate what range is more correct?

Publish to npm

Hey, #7 was merged almost a year ago but never published to npm, any chance you could cut a new version?
