sentence helper

Tom Santiago
Updated

Converts text into sentence case. The first letter of each sentence is capitalized, and all remaining letters are converted to lowercase. Use it to standardize inconsistent text inputs.

Usage

{{sentence value}}

  • value (required): input string

Examples

  1. Convert a message to sentence case

    {{sentence record.message}}

    Input:

    {
  "record": {
    "message": "hello world. goodbye world."
  }
}

    Output:

    Hello world. Goodbye world.

  2. Use periods, question marks, or exclamation points as word boundaries

    {{sentence record.message}}

    Input

    {  "record": {    "message": "Mr. hello world? goodbye world!"  }}

    Output

    Mr. Hello world? Goodbye world!

Tip

  • This helper lowercases all non-initial characters, so acronyms like “API” become “Api.” Use with caution if capitalization must be preserved.

  • Useful for formatting free-text fields, such as comments or notes, into consistent sentence case.

  • Works best when input strings are well-formed with clear sentence-ending punctuation (., !, ?).

  • Will not work as expected for non-string inputs such as number, boolean, arrays, or objects.
