Convert a string to title case in JavaScript
- Convert string to an array of individual words
- e.g. if you are starting with a string of words separated by spaces,
string.split(' ')
- e.g. if you’re starting from a kebab-case slug,
string.split('-')
- Map through your list of words
- Capitalize the first words, always
- Capitalized the last word, always
- For the inner words, check if they are in a list of words that should not be capitalized (see Further reading below)
- If they are, leave them as is
- If they are not, capitalize them
- Store that list of words as a constant
- Join the array back into a string
- Return the string
