Proper Case First Name in a Widget Server Script

[Steven Parker]

If I am using the below function to get the first name of the logged in user in the "Server Script" on a widget...How can I ensure the name is in the proper case (Capital first letter and lower case all the remaining letters) within this function?

(function() {
  data.user = gs.getUser().getFirstName();
})();

@Steven Parker 

you will have to perform manipulation to that returned value

(function() {
  var firstName = gs.getUser().getFirstName();
  data.user = firstName.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + firstName.slice(1).toLowerCase();
})();

See I've tried different variations of this type of script, but I keep getting the following type error:

it lower cased "bella" properly, but seems like it didn't know how the handle the first letter A.  The name in this example is "ABELLA" in the user table.

This works....any negative side effects using substring?

  var firstName = gs.getUser().getFirstName();
  data.user = firstName.substring(0,1).toUpperCase() + firstName.slice(1).toLowerCase();
