下面是我一小步一小步完成的方法，类似于@Kirsteins。

func capitalizedPhrase(phrase:String) -> String {
    let firstCharIndex = advance(phrase.startIndex, 1)
    let firstChar = phrase.substringToIndex(firstCharIndex).uppercaseString
    let firstCharRange = phrase.startIndex..<firstCharIndex
    return phrase.stringByReplacingCharactersInRange(firstCharRange, withString: firstChar)
}

在Swift 3.0中(这比公认的答案更快更安全):

extension String {
    func firstCharacterUpperCase() -> String {
        if let firstCharacter = characters.first {
            return replacingCharacters(in: startIndex..<index(after: startIndex), with: String(firstCharacter).uppercased())
        }
        return ""
    }
}

nameOfString。大写是不行的，句子里的每个单词都要大写

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()
    }
}

如果你想大写字符串的每个字，你可以使用这个扩展

Swift 4 Xcode 9.2

extension String {
    var wordUppercased: String {
        var aryOfWord = self.split(separator: " ")
        aryOfWord =  aryOfWord.map({String($0.first!).uppercased() + $0.dropFirst()})
        return aryOfWord.joined(separator: " ")
    }
}

Used

print("simple text example".wordUppercased) //output:: "Simple Text Example"

结合上面的答案，我写了一个小扩展，大写每个单词的第一个字母(因为这是我正在寻找的，并认为其他人可以使用它)。

我谦卑地提出:

extension String {
    var wordCaps:String {
        let listOfWords:[String] = self.componentsSeparatedByString(" ")
        var returnString: String = ""
        for word in listOfWords {
            if word != "" {
                var capWord = word.lowercaseString as String
                capWord.replaceRange(startIndex...startIndex, with: String(capWord[capWord.startIndex]).uppercaseString)
                returnString = returnString + capWord + " "
            }
        }
        if returnString.hasSuffix(" ") {
            returnString.removeAtIndex(returnString.endIndex.predecessor())
        }
        return returnString
    }
}

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"
