I still need to client side format 'DMXzone wappler' into 'DMXzone Wappler'

Wappler General Need Help

Sorry I remember I’ve posted about this long time ago but I couldn’t find that post anymore.

So here we go again, I need to client side formatter as follows:

‘DMXzone wappler’ into ‘DMXzone Wappler’

and not

‘DMXzone wappler’ into ‘Dmxzone Wappler’

What type of formatter should I use?

I hope I didn’t get it wrong.
Have you tried finding a solution with regex?

Hmm how do I achieve it?

value.replace(/\D/g, s/^\(.\)/\U\1/) doesn’t work

I think this will do what you want:
{{'DMXzone wappler'.replace(" ", " | ").camelize().replace("|", " ")}}
If used with dynamic data, you would have to make sure that the temporary separator (eg ‘|’), couldn’t appear in the data of course.

Hopefully there’s a better solution than this - eg it would be interesting to know if regular expressions can be used like this. They can be used in some situations in Wappler.

Have you tried:
<p style="text-transform: capitalize">DMXzone wappler</p>

I wanted to use the formatter to format input value. What I do is on input key up, format the value. CSS only transform the text for display not the actual input value.

I have input mask scrip for that. I just don’t want to add extra script to the site if it is achievable just by using Wappler’s formatter. I remember the team was considering this type of formatter in my previous post but I cannot find the post any more to follow up.

Not sure if this would work as per my requirement but will try it on when I get back to my laptop.

I believe it was the PHP titlecase formatter that resulted in a different output then the other titleCase formatters.

"DMXzone wappler".titlecase() in PHP returns DMXzone Wappler, while in AppConnect and with ASP it returns Dmxzone Wappler.

I think the PHP is indeed better in this case, if nobody has anything against it then I will change the behavior of the titlecase to that of PHP. To get the old behavior back you can then change your expression to "DMXzone wappler".lowercase().titlecase().

Agreed and please implement it… :pray:
