sentence-case

What is sentence-case?

The sentence-case npm package is designed to convert strings to sentence case, where the first letter of the sentence is capitalized and all other letters are in lower case. This is useful for formatting text to adhere to grammatical rules in English and other languages that follow similar capitalization rules.

What are sentence-case's main functionalities?

Convert string to sentence case

This feature allows you to convert any given string to sentence case. It also supports locale-based transformations, which can be useful for languages with specific casing rules.

const sentenceCase = require('sentence-case');

const result = sentenceCase('string'); // 'String'
const resultWithLocale = sentenceCase('STRING', 'tr'); // 'Strıng' with Turkish locale
