JS: Turn text into TitleCase

/ Published in: JavaScript

I love this script. It's perfect for anyone trying to transforms headlines into some sort of Title Case format without using CSS

Highlighted TextExpand

/* To Title Case 1.1.1

String.prototype.toTitleCase = function() {
    return this.replace(/([\w&`'â€˜â€™"â€œ.@:\/\{\(\[<>_]+-? *)/g, function(match, p1, index, title) {
        if (index > 0 && title.charAt(index - 2) !== ":" &&
        	match.search(/^(a(nd?|s|t)?|b(ut|y)|en|for|i[fn]|o[fnr]|t(he|o)|vs?\.?|via)[ \-]/i) > -1)
            return match.toLowerCase();
        if (title.substring(index - 1, index + 1).search(/['"_{(\[]/) > -1)
            return match.charAt(0) + match.charAt(1).toUpperCase() + match.substr(2);
        if (match.substr(1).search(/[A-Z]+|&|[\w]+[._][\w]+/) > -1 || 
        	title.substring(index - 1, index + 1).search(/[\])}]/) > -1)
            return match;
        return match.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + match.substr(1);
    });
};
