Turn (English) text strings into Title Case using a variety of common rules.
For example: "An IRC client in your motherboard" would become "An IRC Client in Your Motherboard"
The rules are more extensive than that, but broadly follow common practice, with first words being capitalized, already capitalized words maintained, minor words lowercased, etc. This is used as the house style of titles in https://rubyweekly.com/ for example.
Convenience method:
Titlecaser.titlecase("this is a test") # => "This is a Test"Or in a more longwinded way:
Titlecaser::TitleCase.new("this is a test").convertCurrently, we don't monkeypatch String but that could be an option later.
$ bundle add titlecaser
or
$ gem install titlecaser
Note that there are tests in /test and a titles.txt file that's used to test a variety of titlex scenarios. These tests can be extended.
- Don't change anything that's in backticks (code)
- Handle hyphenated situations (e.g. Money-for-Nothing)
- Don't change 'words' that contain complex punctuation (e.g. peterc/titlecaser)
Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/peterc/titlecaser. However, please note this library has been developed to fit our particular style guide, so changes to specific title-casing choices may be rejected or questioned. We could extend the library to support multiple approaches in future, by way of non-default options, however.
