TIL the Capitalize String shortcut

POSTED ON:

TAGS: js

I use this a bunch. But i also always forget it.

Unlike other popular programming languages like Python, C#, and PHP JavaScript doesn’t have a function that allows you to capitalize a string. However, it’s quite a basic function that gets used a lot. You can put in a word or a complete sentence to this function, as long as it’s a string.

const capitalize = (str) => str.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + str.slice(1);
