Convert camelCaseText to Sentence Case Text

Question

How can I convert a string either like \'helloThere\' or \'HelloThere\' to \'Hello There\' in JavaScript?

Answer 1

Example without side effects.

function camel2title(camelCase) {
  // no side-effects
  return camelCase
    // inject space before the upper case letters
    .replace(/([A-Z])/g, function(match) {
       return " " + match;
    })
    // replace first char with upper case
    .replace(/^./, function(match) {
      return match.toUpperCase();
    });
}

In ES6

const camel2title = (camelCase) => camelCase
  .replace(/([A-Z])/g, (match) => ` ${match}`)
  .replace(/^./, (match) => match.toUpperCase());

Answer 2

Input javaScript

Output Java Script

   var text = 'javaScript';
    text.replace(/([a-z])([A-Z][a-z])/g, "$1 $2").charAt(0).toUpperCase()+text.slice(1).replace(/([a-z])([A-Z][a-z])/g, "$1 $2");
