Needed a helper function to make things uppercase?

ucWords

ucWords function converts the first character of each word in a string to uppercase. This function is the same as PHP’s ucWords function.

export const ucWords = string => {
    return String(string).toLowerCase()
        .replace(/\b[a-z]/g, (l) => l.toUpperCase())
}
