-    capitalize: function (value) {
-      if (!value) return ''
-      value = value.toString()
-      return value.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + value.slice(1)
-    }
+filters: {

+    if (!value) return ''
+    value = value.toString()
+    return value.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + value.slice(1)
   }

+  value = value.toString()
+  return value.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + value.slice(1)
