Formats the numbers.

But you can create it in this way, for compatibility with previous versions:

_.str.reverse("foobar")
=> 'raboof'

Like a array splice.

_('https://[email protected]/edtsech/underscore.strings').splice(30, 7, 'andre')

startsWith _.startsWith(string, starts)

This method checks whether string starts with starts.

=> 'MozTransform'

classify _.classify(string)

Converts string to camelized class name. First letter is always upper case

_('some_class_name').classify()
=> 'SomeClassName'

underscored _.underscored(string)

Converts a camelized or dasherized string into an underscored one

_('MozTransform').underscored()
=> 'moz_transform'

dasherize _.dasherize(string)

Converts a underscored or camelized string into an dasherized one

_('MozTransform').dasherize()
=> '-moz-transform'

humanize _.humanize(string)

Converts an underscored, camelized, or dasherized string into a humanized one. Also removes beginning and ending whitespace, and removes the postfix '_id'.

_('  capitalize dash-CamelCase_underscore trim  ').humanize()
=> 'Capitalize dash camel case underscore trim'

_('Hello, world').prune(5)
=> 'Hello...'

_('Hello, world').prune(8)
=> 'Hello...'

_('Hello, world').prune(5, ' (read a lot more)')
=> 'Hello, world' (as adding "(read a lot more)" would be longer than the original string)
