我的解决方案:

func firstCharacterUppercaseString(string: String) -> String {
    var str = string as NSString
    let firstUppercaseCharacter = str.substringToIndex(1).uppercaseString
    let firstUppercaseCharacterString = str.stringByReplacingCharactersInRange(NSMakeRange(0, 1), withString: firstUppercaseCharacter)
    return firstUppercaseCharacterString
}

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()
    }
}

我更喜欢这个版本，它是从另一个答案中清理出来的版本:

extension String {
  var capitalizedFirst: String {
    let characters = self.characters
    if let first = characters.first {
      return String(first).uppercased() + 
             String(characters.dropFirst())
    }
    return self
  }
}

它努力通过只评估自我来提高效率。字符一次，然后使用一致的形式创建子字符串。

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.

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"

extension String {
    func firstCharacterUpperCase() -> String? {
        let lowercaseString = self.lowercaseString

        return lowercaseString.stringByReplacingCharactersInRange(lowercaseString.startIndex...lowercaseString.startIndex, withString: String(lowercaseString[lowercaseString.startIndex]).uppercaseString)
    }
}

let x = "heLLo"
let m = x.firstCharacterUpperCase()

对于Swift 5:

extension String {
    func firstCharacterUpperCase() -> String? {
        guard !isEmpty else { return nil }
        let lowerCasedString = self.lowercased()
        return lowerCasedString.replacingCharacters(in: lowerCasedString.startIndex...lowerCasedString.startIndex, with: String(lowerCasedString[lowerCasedString.startIndex]).uppercased())
    }
}
