Internal Helpers

Below are some functions you may find helpful when working with data and values within Directus.

Title Formatter

Directus uses Database Mirroring to create its underlying data model based on your custom schema. Therefore the App needs a reliable way of converting any raw table name, field name, or other technical value into a prettified format that is human-readable. At its core, the Title Formatter converts any string into title-case with proper whitespace. It also covers acronyms, initialisms, common proper nouns, so each is output properly. Some example conversion include:

Original String	Formatted Title
snowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs	Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
NewcastleUponTyne	Newcastle upon Tyne
brighton_by_the_sea	Brighton by the Sea
new_ipad_ftp_app	New iPad FTP App
