Proper Case First Name in a Widget Server Script

Steven Parker · ‎05-06-2025

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();
})();

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

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