`proper(str='')` - Merciglobal Cloud ERP Custom JavaScript Function¶

Overview¶

The proper(str='') function is a custom JavaScript utility developed for Merciglobal Cloud ERP. It is designed to convert a given string into camel case format — an essential feature for ensuring uniformity across variable names, field IDs, and UI labels.

Purpose¶

This utility helps standardize string values into camel case, which is useful for:

Developer-friendly variable naming conventions
Dynamic generation of form field names or IDs
API payload key standardization
Enhancing readability and consistency across internal ERP modules

Syntax¶

proper(str = '')

Parameters¶

Parameter	Type	Description
`str`	String	The input string to be camel-cased

Returns¶

Returns a camelCase version of the input string.

Example Usage¶

proper('customer name')      // Output: 'Customer Name'
proper('Product CODE')       // Output: 'Product Code'
proper('  Sales_invoice ')   // Output: 'Sales_invoice'

How It Works¶

The proper() function typically performs the following:

Trim: Removes any leading or trailing spaces.
Lowercase: Converts the entire string to lowercase.
Split: Breaks the string into words by spaces or underscores.
Capitalize: Capitalizes the first letter of each word except the first one.
Join: Concatenates the words into a single camelCase string.

Usage in Merciglobal ERP Modules¶

Form Builder: Automatically converts label text to field IDs
API Endpoints: Ensures request/response payload keys are camelCase
Configuration Screens: Dynamic setting key generation

Best Practices¶

Always validate the input to be a string
Use this function when generating code or dynamic content to avoid naming mismatches
Useful in VueJS components, Node.js APIs, or even browser-based custom ERP plugins
