Convert string to title case with JavaScript

Question

Is there a simple way to convert a string to title case? E.g. john smith becomes John Smith. I\'m not looking for something complicated like John R

Answer 1

Here's my version, IMO it's easy to understand and elegant too.

var str = "foo bar baz"

console.log(

str.split(' ')
   .map(w => w[0].toUpperCase() + w.substr(1).toLowerCase())
   .join(' ')

)
// returns "Foo Bar Baz"
