Capitalize

Capitalizes the first letter of a string.

Use destructuring and toUpperCase() to capitalize first letter, ...rest to get array of characters after first letter and then Array.join('') to make it a string again. Omit the lowerRest parameter to keep the rest of the string intact, or set it to true to convert to lowercase.

const capitalize = ([first,...rest], lowerRest = false) =>
  first.toUpperCase() + (lowerRest ? rest.join('').toLowerCase() : rest.join(''));
// capitalize('myName') -> 'MyName'
// capitalize('myName', true) -> 'Myname'
