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

This makes it more versatile if you need to handle various text transformations.

title-case

Converts a string into title case, where the first letter of each word is capitalized. It is similar to sentence-case in that it deals with capitalization, but it applies the capitalization to each word rather than just the first word of the sentence.
