API

matchCasing(value, base)

Transform the case in value (string) to match that of base (string).

Algorithm

• If base is uppercase, value is uppercased
• Else, if base is lowercase, value is lowercased
• Else, if the first alphabetic character in base is uppercase, and the rest of base is lowercase, uppercase the first alphabetic character in value and lowercase the rest
• Else, return value unmodified

The third case, where value takes on a capitalized, deals with initial non-alphabetical characters as expected.
