TrueCase Support

True Casing is a is text casing format for storing text. To put it simply, everything is lowercase except for proper nouns or anything else that requires a special casing.

Examples:

i want to get some McDonalds. do you want to come?

this package is awesome

this looks like 1/2 lb of Mary's chicken

Joe, can you come over here?

When using the trueCasing option it will recognize any specials casings within the string and maintain them on the output.

import { sentenceCase } from 'true-case';

const string = 'i want to get some McDonalds. do you want to come?';

sentenceCase(string, { trueCasing: true });

Output

I want to get some McDonalds. Do you want to come?

Supplied Proper Nouns

You can supply a list of proper nouns to maintain specific casing for them

import { sentenceCase } from 'true-case';

const string = 'i want to get some McDonalds. do you want to come?';

sentenceCase(string, { properNouns: ['McDonalds'] });

Output

I want to get some McDonalds. Do you want to come?

Supplying proper nouns will override any casing from the input

Example:

import { sentenceCase } from 'true-case';

const string = 'i want to get some mcdonalds. do you want to come?';

sentenceCase(string, { properNouns: ['McDonalds'] });

Output

I want to get some McDonalds. Do you want to come?

Notice mcdonalds is all lowercased on the input but transforms into the casing given by the properNouns
