Split field names for auto-generated columns by CapitalLetter

For example, I'd like something like this:
Field Name: record.TotalSales -> Auto-generated column title: "Total Sales" with inserted space

ADMIN EDIT: See also the idea below about "AutoGeneratedTitles" Func<string, string> property where the user could perform whatever processing they liked upon the default value. Please leave your comment on what approach you would prefer to be exposed.

Yeah I think if it's consistent with the AJAX suite (where I believe it does do this split if you use ModelBinding) that would help a lot.

Thank you for the idea, Michael, we will consider it. Providing an out-of-the-box solution for the most common case will be significantly easier to use, though, so I am not sure if a function call will be what happens. Let's see what the community thinks, though, maybe people will prefer it. I've edited the opener post to mention this.

On second thought, rather than offer a single use case, add an "AutoGeneratedTitles" Func<string, string> property where the user could perform whatever processing they liked upon the default value.

Thank you for the idea, Jesse. This would work for columns you define explicitly in a grid, but the idea in the feature request is that the grid does this for the columns it generates automatically from the model - you can't set their Title like that because you don't have them in the markup.

Michael,

 

I know you may want it built in to the Telerik UI, but why not use Humanizer: https://github.com/Humanizr/Humanizer

 

You would then be able to do something like

<AuthorizeView>
    <TelerikGrid Data=@GridData
                 @ref="@Grid"
                 Pageable="true"
                 Groupable="true"
                 Sortable="true"
                 FilterMode="GridFilterMode.FilterMenu"
                 Resizable="true"
                 Reorderable="false"
                 PageSize="20">
        <GridColumns>
            <GridColumn Field="@nameof(record.TotalSales).Humanize(LetterCase.Title)" />
            <GridColumn Field="@nameof(record.ReallyLongVariableName).Humanize(LetterCase.Sentence)" />
        </GridColumns>
    </TelerikGrid>
</AuthorizeView>

For the community benefit - for the time being the best option is to use the [Display(Name="The Desired Title")] data annotation attribute on the model: https://docs.telerik.com/blazor-ui/components/grid/columns/auto-generated#customization

If this does not become the default behavior, I imagine it would be exposed as a setting on the GridAutoGeneratedColumns tag.
