User · Answer

You can try to split your String into two parts and manage their case separately.

{{ (Name.charAt(0) | uppercase) + "" + (Name.slice(1, element.length) | lowercase) }}

or

{{ Name.charAt(0) | uppercase }} {{ Name.slice(1, element.length) | lowercase  }}

Instead if you want to capitalize each word of a sentence then you can use this code  app filter  capitalize   function       return function input  scope    if  input  null  input   input toLowerCase   split        for  var i   0  i  lt  input length  i            You do not need to check if i is larger than input length  as your for does that for you       Assign it back to the array    input i    input i  charAt 0  toUpperCase     input i  substring 1                  Directly return the joined string    return input join                  and just add filter  capitalize  to your string input  for ex -   name   capitalize

If you use Bootstrap  you can simply add the text-capitalize helper class    lt p class  text-capitalize  gt CapiTaliZed text  lt  p gt    EDIT  just in case the link dies again      Text Transform      Transform text in components with text capitalization classes       lowercased text    UPPERCASED TEXT    CapiTaliZed Text          lt p class  text-lowercase  gt Lowercased text  lt  p gt   lt p class  text-uppercase  gt Uppercased text  lt  p gt   lt p class  text-capitalize  gt CapiTaliZed text  lt  p gt        Note how text-capitalize only changes the first letter of each word  leaving the case of any other letters unaffected

If you are after performance  try to avoid using AngularJS filters as they are applied twice per each expression to check for their stability   A better way would be to use CSS   first-letter pseudo-element with text-transform  uppercase   That can t be used on inline elements such as span  though  so the next best thing would be to use text-transform  capitalize  on the whole block  which capitalizes every word   Example    x000D   x000D  var app   angular module  app        x000D   x000D  app controller  Ctrl   function   scope    x000D      scope msg    hello  world    x000D      x000D   capitalize   x000D    display  inline-block    x000D    x000D   x000D   capitalize  first-letter   x000D    text-transform  uppercase  x000D    x000D   x000D   capitalize2   x000D    text-transform  capitalize  x000D    x000D   lt script src  https   ajax googleapis com ajax libs angularjs 1 2 23 angular min js  gt  lt  script gt  x000D   lt div ng-app  app  gt  x000D       lt div ng-controller  Ctrl  gt  x000D           lt b gt My text  lt  b gt   lt div class  capitalize  gt   msg   lt  div gt  x000D           lt p gt  lt b gt My text  lt  b gt   lt span class  capitalize2  gt   msg   lt  span gt  lt  p gt  x000D       lt  div gt  x000D   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

I like the answer from  TrampGuy  CSS is always  well  not always  a better choice  so  text-transform  capitalize  is certainly the way to go   But what if your content is all uppercase to begin with   If you try text-transform  capitalize  on content like  FOO BAR  you ll still get  FOO BAR  in your display   To get around that issue you could put the text-transform  capitalize  in your css  but also lowercase your string  so    lt ul gt     lt li class  capitalize  gt    foo awesome property   lowercase    lt  li gt   lt  ul gt    where we are using  TrampGuy s capitalize class    capitalize     text-transform  capitalize      So  pretending that foo awsome property would normally print  FOO BAR   it will now print the desired  Foo Bar
