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。

健壮的函数式编程方式做标题大小写函数

Exaplin版本

function toTitleCase(input){
    let output = input
        .split(' ')  // 'HOw aRe YOU' => ['HOw' 'aRe' 'YOU']
        .map((letter) => {
            let firstLetter = letter[0].toUpperCase() // H , a , Y  => H , A , Y
            let restLetters = letter.substring(1).toLowerCase() // Ow, Re, OU => ow, re, ou
            return firstLetter + restLetters // conbine together
        })
        .join(' ') //['How' 'Are' 'You'] => 'How Are You'
    return output
}

实现版本

function toTitleCase(input){
    return input
            .split(' ')
            .map(i => i[0].toUpperCase() + i.substring(1).toLowerCase())
            .join(' ') 
}

toTitleCase('HoW ARe yoU') // reuturn 'How Are You'

我做了这个函数，它可以处理姓氏(所以它不是标题大小写)，如“McDonald”或“MacDonald”或“O'Toole”或“D'Orazio”。然而，它不能处理带有“van”或“von”的德语或荷兰语名称，这些名称通常是小写的。我相信“de”也经常是小写的，比如“Robert de Niro”。这些问题仍需解决。

function toProperCase(s)
{
  return s.toLowerCase().replace( /\b((m)(a?c))?(\w)/g,
          function($1, $2, $3, $4, $5) { if($2){return $3.toUpperCase()+$4+$5.toUpperCase();} return $1.toUpperCase(); });
}

var toMatch = "john w. smith";
var result = toMatch.replace(/(\w)(\w*)/g, function (_, i, r) {
      return i.toUpperCase() + (r != null ? r : "");
    }
)

似乎有用… 用上面的测试，“快棕色的狐狸?/跳过/越过了……“C:/程序文件/某些供应商/他们的第二个应用程序/a file1.txt”。

如果你想要2Nd而不是2Nd，你可以更改为/([a-z])(\w*)/g。

第一种形式可以简化为:

function toTitleCase(toTransform) {
  return toTransform.replace(/\b([a-z])/g, function (_, initial) {
      return initial.toUpperCase();
  });
}

我们已经在办公室进行了讨论，我们认为试图自动纠正人们输入姓名的方式，以您希望的方式进行，这可能充满了问题。

我们已经提出了几种不同类型的自动大写不成立的情况，这些仅仅是英语名称，每种语言都有自己的复杂性。

每个名字首字母大写的问题:

•像IBM这样的首字母缩写不允许输入，会变成IBM。

•McDonald这个名字会变成McDonald，这是不正确的，同样的东西也是MacDonald。

•像Marie-Tonks这样的双筒名字会变成Marie-Tonks。

O 'Connor这样的名字会变成O 'Connor。

对于其中的大多数，你可以编写自定义规则来处理它，然而，这仍然与以前的缩略语有问题，你会得到一个新的问题:

•添加一个规则来修复Mac的名称，如MacDonald，将打破名称，如Macy，将其变成Macy。

我们提出的唯一解决方案是永远不会不正确的是大写每一个字母，这是一个蛮力的方法，DBS似乎也使用。

因此，如果你想自动化这个过程，没有一个字典，每个名字和单词，以及它应该如何大写，这是不可能的。如果你没有一个规则，涵盖一切，不要使用它，因为它只会惹恼你的用户，并提示那些想要正确输入他们的名字的人去其他地方。

ES-6 way to get title case of a word or entire line.
ex. input = 'hEllo' --> result = 'Hello'
ex. input = 'heLLo woRLd' --> result = 'Hello World'

const getTitleCase = (str) => {
  if(str.toLowerCase().indexOf(' ') > 0) {
    return str.toLowerCase().split(' ').map((word) => {
      return word.replace(word[0], word[0].toUpperCase());
    }).join(' ');
  }
  else {
    return str.slice(0, 1).toUpperCase() + str.slice(1).toLowerCase();
  }
}
