Mathias Bynens 8ee50178f3 Avoid confusing prototype methods for static methods
Correct: `Array.from()` (it’s a static method)
Incorrect: `Array.join()` (doesn’t exist; it’s a prototype method)

This patch uses the common `#` syntax to denote `.prototype.`.

capitalize

Capitalizes the first letter of a string.

Use array destructuring and String.prototype.toUpperCase() to capitalize first letter, ...rest to get array of characters after first letter and then Array.prototype.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('fooBar'); // 'FooBar'
capitalize('fooBar', true); // 'Foobar'
