How do I make the first letter of a string uppercase in JavaScript?

Question

How do I make the first letter of a string uppercase, but not change the case of any of the other letters?

For example:

• \"this is a test\"

Answer 1

If you use underscore.js or Lo-Dash, the underscore.string library provides string extensions, including capitalize:

_.capitalize(string) Converts first letter of the string to uppercase.

Example:

_.capitalize("foo bar") == "Foo bar"
