chicago-capitalize

Capitalizes a title according to the Chicago Manual of Style.

Usage

First, install chicago-capitalize as a dependency:

npm install --save chicago-capitalize

Then, use it in your scripts, like so:

var capitalize = require('chicago-capitalize')

var input = 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.'
var output = capitalize(input)

// Prints 'The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over the Lazy Dog.'
console.log(output)

You can also pass an options object. For now, the only option is whitelist: an array of words not to capitalize. Note that it is case-sensitive.

var input = 'Sent from my iPhone.'
var options = { whitelist: ['iPhone'] }
var output = capitalize(input, options)

// Prints 'Sent from My iPhone.'
console.log(output)
