Make Headline Text Uppercase

[maya]

Hey there,

How do you change the headline text and source text to uppercase?

Thanks!

Hi Maya!

Just to clarify, you mean to transform all input text to uppercase for everyone who loads the app?

I added this feature without even knowing that this issue existed! See #17

@alfeay I meant exactly what @nsonnad seems to have done already! (We must be on the same wavelength 😄)

I wanted to get the same effect that SB Nation has where what you type gets converted to uppercase: http://apps.voxmedia.com/tools/meme/sbnation/

Seems like adding the toggle like @nsonnad did would be even more useful.

Hey @maya, you could do this within the canvas view easily enough... just make that headline uppercase before rendering it onto the canvas. See this:

https://github.com/voxmedia/meme/blob/master/source/javascripts/views/meme-canvas.js#L107

You should be able to chain in a .toUpperCase() call there, as in:

var words = d.headlineText.toUpperCase().split(' ');
