titleize

The titleize package converts a string to title case, where the first letter of each word is capitalized. Unlike humanize-string, it focuses on title casing rather than just making the string more readable.

decamelize

The decamelize package converts camelCase strings to a format with a specified delimiter, usually an underscore. It is more focused on converting camelCase to other formats rather than making the string human-readable.

lodash.startcase
