I'm looking through the lodash docs and other Stack Overflow questions - while there are several native JavaScript ways of accomplishing this task, is there a way I can convert a string to title case using purely lodash functions (or at least existing prototypal functions) so that I don't have to use a regular expression or define a new function?

e.g. 

This string ShouLD be ALL in title CASe

should become

This String Should Be All In Title Case

This can be done with a small modification of startCase:

_.startCase(_.toLower(str));


console.log(_.startCase(_.toLower("This string ShouLD be ALL in title CASe")));
