# capitalizeKeys > Convert the first letter of each object key to uppercase.
## Usage ```javascript var capitalizeKeys = require( '@stdlib/utils/capitalize-keys' ); ``` #### capitalizeKeys( obj ) Converts the first letter of each `object` key to uppercase, mapping the transformed keys to a new `object` having the same values. ```javascript var obj1 = { 'beepBoop': 1, 'fooBar': 2 }; var obj2 = capitalizeKeys( obj1 ); // returns { 'BeepBoop': 1, 'FooBar': 2 } ```
## Notes - The function only transforms **own** properties. Hence, the function does **not** transform inherited properties. - The function **shallow** copies key values.
## Examples ```javascript var capitalizeKeys = require( '@stdlib/utils/capitalize-keys' ); var obj1 = { 'aa': 'beep', 'bb': 'boop', 'cc': 'foo', 'dd': 'bar' }; var obj2 = capitalizeKeys( obj1 ); console.dir( obj2 ); // => { 'Aa': 'beep', 'Bb': 'boop', 'Cc': 'foo', 'Dd': 'bar' } ```
