stdlib-js/assert-is-startcase

About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

isStartcase

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Test if a value is a startcase string.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/assert-is-startcase

Alternatively,

  • To load the package in a website via a script tag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on the esm branch (see README).
  • If you are using Deno, visit the deno branch (see README for usage intructions).
  • For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the umd branch (see README).
  • To use as a general utility for the command line, install the corresponding CLI package globally.

The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.

To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.

Usage

var isStartcase = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-startcase' );

isStartcase( value )

Tests if a value is a startcase string (i.e., the first character of each word is uppercase).

var bool = isStartcase( 'Beep Boop' );
// returns true

bool = isStartcase( 'Beep and Boop' );
// returns false

Notes

  • The function validates that a value is a string. For all other types, the function returns false.

Examples

var isStartcase = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-startcase' );

var bool = isStartcase( 'Beep Boop' );
// returns true

bool = isStartcase( 'BeepBoop123' );
// returns true

bool = isStartcase( 'beep Boop' );
// returns false

bool = isStartcase( 'beep' );
// returns false

bool = isStartcase( 'beepBoop' );
// returns false

bool = isStartcase( null );
// returns false

CLI

Installation

To use as a general utility, install the CLI package globally

npm install -g @stdlib/assert-is-startcase-cli

Usage

Usage: is-startcase [options] [<string>]

Options:

  -h,    --help                Print this message.
  -V,    --version             Print the package version.
         --split sep           Delimiter for stdin data. Default: '/\\r?\\n/'.

Notes

  • If the split separator is a regular expression, ensure that the split option is either properly escaped or enclosed in quotes.

    # Not escaped...
    $ echo -n $'BeEp BooP\nFOO' | is-startcase --split /\r?\n/
    # Escaped...
    $ echo -n $'BeEp BooP\nFOO' | is-startcase --split /\\r?\\n/
  • The implementation ignores trailing delimiters.

Examples

$ is-startcase BeepBoop
true

To use as a standard stream,

$ echo -n 'Beep Boop' | is-startcase
true

By default, when used as a standard stream, the implementation assumes newline-delimited data. To specify an alternative delimiter, set the split option.

$ echo -n 'beepBoop\tBEEP_BOOP' | is-startcase --split '\t'
false
true

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
