toTitleCase("hello world how are u");

这个解决方案将标点符号考虑到新句子中，处理引用，将小词转换为小写，忽略首字母缩写或全大写单词。

var stopWordsArray = new Array("a", "all", "am", "an", "and", "any", "are", "as", "at", "be", "but", "by", "can", "can't", "did", "didn't", "do", "does", "doesn't", "don't", "else", "for", "get", "gets", "go", "got", "had", "has", "he", "he's", "her", "here", "hers", "hi", "him", "his", "how", "i'd", "i'll", "i'm", "i've", "if", "in", "is", "isn't", "it", "it's", "its", "let", "let's", "may", "me", "my", "no", "of", "off", "on", "our", "ours", "she", "so", "than", "that", "that's", "thats", "the", "their", "theirs", "them", "then", "there", "there's", "these", "they", "they'd", "they'll", "they're", "they've", "this", "those", "to", "too", "try", "until", "us", "want", "wants", "was", "wasn't", "we", "we'd", "we'll", "we're", "we've", "well", "went", "were", "weren't", "what", "what's", "when", "where", "which", "who", "who's", "whose", "why", "will", "with", "won't", "would", "yes", "yet", "you", "you'd", "you'll", "you're", "you've", "your");

// Only significant words are transformed. Handles acronyms and punctuation
String.prototype.toTitleCase = function() {
    var newSentence = true;
    return this.split(/\s+/).map(function(word) {
        if (word == "") { return; }
        var canCapitalise = true;

// Pass a string using dot notation:
alert("A critical examination of Plato's view of the human nature".toTitleCase());
var str = "Ten years on: a study into the effectiveness of NCEA in New Zealand schools";
str.toTitleCase());
str = "\"Where to from here?\" the effectivness of eLearning in childhood education";
alert(str.toTitleCase());

/* Result:
A Critical Examination of Plato's View of the Human Nature.

我的清单是基于三个快速搜索。一个用于不大写的单词列表，一个用于完整的介词列表。

最后一个搜索建议，5个或5个字母以上的介词应该大写，这是我喜欢的。我的目的是非正式使用。我把“without”留在了他们的单词里，因为它是with的明显对应词。

所以它把首字母缩写，标题的第一个字母，以及大多数单词的第一个字母都大写。

它不打算处理带有大写锁的单词。我不想管这些。

function camelCase(str) { return str.replace(/((?:^|\.)\w|\b(?!(?:a|amid|an|and|anti|as|at|but|but|by|by|down|for|for|for|from|from|in|into|like|near|nor|of|of|off|on|on|onto|or|over|past|per|plus|save|so|than|the|to|to|up|upon|via|with|without|yet)\b)\w)/g, function(character) { return character.toUpperCase(); })} console.log(camelCase('The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog, named butter, who was taking a nap outside the u.s. Post Office. The fox jumped so high that NASA saw him on their radar.'));

如果你想使用NPM库，请查看title-case:

安装:

npm install title-case --save

用法:

import { titleCase } from "title-case";

titleCase("string"); //=> "String"
titleCase("follow step-by-step instructions"); //=> "Follow Step-by-Step Instructions"

如果你可以在你的代码中使用第三方库，那么lodash为我们提供了一个帮助函数。

https://lodash.com/docs/4.17.3#startCase

_。startCase (foo栏); // => 'Foo Bar' _.startCase(“——foo bar”); // => 'Foo Bar' _.startCase(“fooBar”); // => 'Foo Bar' _.startCase(“__FOO_BAR__”); // => ' foo bar '

基准

博士TL;

这个基准测试的赢家是简单的for循环:

function titleize(str) {
    let upper = true
    let newStr = ""
    for (let i = 0, l = str.length; i < l; i++) {
        // Note that you can also check for all kinds of spaces  with
        // str[i].match(/\s/)
        if (str[i] == " ") {
            upper = true
            newStr += str[i]
            continue
        }
        newStr += upper ? str[i].toUpperCase() : str[i].toLowerCase()
        upper = false
    }
    return newStr
}
// NOTE: you could beat that using charcode and string builder I guess.

细节

我选取了最流行和最独特的答案，并以此为基准。

下面是我MacBook pro上的结果:

为了完整起见，这里是所使用的函数:

str = "the QUICK BrOWn Fox jUMPS oVeR the LAzy doG";
function regex(str) {
  return str.replace(
    /\w\S*/g,
    function(txt) {
      return txt.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + txt.substr(1).toLowerCase();
    }
  );
}

function split(str) {
  return str.
    split(' ').
    map(w => w[0].toUpperCase() + w.substr(1).toLowerCase()).
    join(' ');
}

function complete(str) {
  var i, j, str, lowers, uppers;
  str = str.replace(/([^\W_]+[^\s-]*) */g, function(txt) {
    return txt.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + txt.substr(1).toLowerCase();
  });

  // Certain minor words should be left lowercase unless 
  // they are the first or last words in the string
  lowers = ['A', 'An', 'The', 'And', 'But', 'Or', 'For', 'Nor', 'As', 'At', 
  'By', 'For', 'From', 'In', 'Into', 'Near', 'Of', 'On', 'Onto', 'To', 'With'];
  for (i = 0, j = lowers.length; i < j; i++)
    str = str.replace(new RegExp('\\s' + lowers[i] + '\\s', 'g'), 
      function(txt) {
        return txt.toLowerCase();
      });

  // Certain words such as initialisms or acronyms should be left uppercase
  uppers = ['Id', 'Tv'];
  for (i = 0, j = uppers.length; i < j; i++)
    str = str.replace(new RegExp('\\b' + uppers[i] + '\\b', 'g'), 
      uppers[i].toUpperCase());

  return str;
}

function firstLetterOnly(str) {
  return str.replace(/\b(\S)/g, function(t) { return t.toUpperCase(); });
}

function forLoop(str) {
  let upper = true;
  let newStr = "";
  for (let i = 0, l = str.length; i < l; i++) {
    if (str[i] == " ") {
      upper = true;
        newStr += " ";
      continue;
    }
    newStr += upper ? str[i].toUpperCase() : str[i].toLowerCase();
    upper = false;
  }
  return newStr;
}

请注意，我故意没有改变原型，因为我认为这是一个非常糟糕的做法，我认为我们不应该在我们的回答中推广这种做法。这只适用于小型代码库，如果只有你一个人在使用它。
