Functions and Examples
strinify provides the following functions for string manipulation:
capitalize(string)
Converts the first character of a string to uppercase.
Example:
const { capitalize } = require('strinify');
console.log(capitalize('hello world')); // Output: Hello world
console.log(capitalize('world')); // Output: World
allCaps(string)
Makes all characters in the string uppercase.
Example:
const { allCaps } = require('strinify');
console.log(allCaps('hello world')); // Output: HELLO WORLD
capitalizeWords(string)
Makes the first character of each word in the string uppercase.
Example:
const { capitalizeWords } = require('strinify');
console.log(capitalizeWords('hello world')); // Output: Hello World
- capitalizeHeadline(string)
Capitalizes all of the words except the words: the, in, a, an, and, but, for, at, by, from unless one of these words is the first word of the string!
Example:
const { capitalizeHeadline } = require('strinify');
console.log(capitalizeHeadline('for welcome to the world but')); // Output: For Welcome To the World but
removeExtraSpaces(string)
Removes all spaces from the beginning and end of a String along with any extra spaces in the middle. If more than one space appears in the middle of a string it is replaced by a single space.
Example:
const { removeExtraSpaces } = require('strinify');
console.log(removeExtraSpaces('hello world')); // Output: hello world
kebobCase(string)
Converts the string to kebob case by removing spaces and replacing them with hyphens and makes all characters lowercase.
Example:
const { kebobCase } = require('strinify');
console.log(kebobCase('Hello World')); // Output: hello-world
console.log(kebobCase('Some String, Here')); // Output: some-string-here
snakeCase(string)
Converts the string to snake case by removing spaces and replacing them with underscores and makes all characters lowercase.
Example:
const { snakeCase } = require('strinify');
console.log(snakeCase('Hello World')); // Output: hello_world
camelCase(string)
Lowercases the first character of the first word. Then uppercases the first character of all other words, and removes all spaces.
Example:
const { camelCase } = require('strinify');
console.log(camelCase('Hello World')); // Output: helloWorld
shift(string)
Shifts the first character of the string to the end.
Example:
const { shift } = require('strinify');
console.log(shift('Hello World')); // Output: ello WorldH
makeHashTag(string)
This function should convert the given string to a hash tag. A hash tag begins with # and no spaces. Each word in the phrase begins with an uppercase letter. If the given string has more than three words, it picks the three longest and make the hash tag from those.
Example:
const { makeHashTag } = require('strinify');
console.log(makeHashTag('Amazing bongo drums for sale')); // Output: ['#amazing', '#bongo', '#drums']
isEmpty(string)
Returns true if the string is empty or contains only whitespace.
Example:
const { isEmpty } = require('strinify');
console.log(isEmpty('Hello World')); // Output: false
console.log(isEmpty(' ')); // Output: true
