对于swift 5，你可以简单地这样做:

为字符串创建扩展:

extension String {
    var firstUppercased: String {
        let firstChar = self.first?.uppercased() ?? ""
        return firstChar + self.dropFirst()
    }
}

then

yourString.firstUppercased

样本:"abc" -> "abc"

Swift 2.0(单行):

String(nameOfString.characters.prefix(1)).uppercaseString + String(nameOfString.characters.dropFirst())

包括与API准则一致的突变和非突变版本。

斯威夫特3:

extension String {
    func capitalizingFirstLetter() -> String {
        let first = String(characters.prefix(1)).capitalized
        let other = String(characters.dropFirst())
        return first + other
    }

    mutating func capitalizeFirstLetter() {
        self = self.capitalizingFirstLetter()
    }
}

斯威夫特4:

extension String {
    func capitalizingFirstLetter() -> String {
      return prefix(1).uppercased() + self.lowercased().dropFirst()
    }

    mutating func capitalizeFirstLetter() {
      self = self.capitalizingFirstLetter()
    }
}

func helperCapitalizeFirstLetter(stringToBeCapd:String)->String{
    let capString = stringToBeCapd.substringFromIndex(stringToBeCapd.startIndex).capitalizedString
    return capString
}

也工作，只是传递你的字符串，并得到一个大写的回来。

Swift 4 (Xcode 9.1)

extension String {
    var capEachWord: String {
        return self.split(separator: " ").map { word in
            return String([word.startIndex]).uppercased() + word.lowercased().dropFirst()
        }.joined(separator: " ")
    }
}

斯威夫特4.0

string.capitalized(with: nil)

or

string.capitalized

但是，每个单词的首字母都要大写

苹果公司的文档:

A capitalized string is a string with the first character in each word changed to its corresponding uppercase value, and all remaining characters set to their corresponding lowercase values. A “word” is any sequence of characters delimited by spaces, tabs, or line terminators. Some common word delimiting punctuation isn’t considered, so this property may not generally produce the desired results for multiword strings. See the getLineStart(_:end:contentsEnd:for:) method for additional information.
