Takes a full name and splits it into individual name parts

gonameparts

gonameparts splits a human name into individual parts. This is useful when dealing with external data sources that provide names as a single value, but you need to store the discrete parts in a database for example.

  • Slice Range Out of Bounds on Invalid Name

    Slice Range Out of Bounds on Invalid Name

    I noticed I started getting a runtime exception when a fed in an invalid name. If you try to Parse "I am a Popsicle" as a name, you will be able to reproduce the exception. It seems that line 135 (https://github.com/polera/gonameparts/blob/master/nameparts.go#L135) of nameparts.go needs to perform a simple validation to make sure the lnEnd isn't less than partmap["lnprefix"]. I have a PR that will reference this issue.

  • Names ending with an apostrophe causes a panic.

    Names ending with an apostrophe causes a panic.

    Not sure if a name would ever end with an apostrophe, but if you tried to parse "John Smith'", go name parts will panic with the following:

        /go_workspace/src/github.com/polera/gonameparts/namestring.go:93` +0x795
github.com/polera/gonameparts.(*nameString).normalize(0x82025daf0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0)
    /go_workspace/src/github.com/polera/gonameparts/namestring.go:159 +0x16d

  • Names with comma are not always inverted

    Names with comma are not always inverted

    Hi, nice library. I was running a few test cases... In general most are looking pretty good, however there is one issue I spotted:

    name := gonameparts.Parse("John A. Smith, Jr.")
fmt.Printf("%s %s\n", name.FirstName, name.LastName)
#=> Jr. Smith

    If there is a comma and its followed by any of the salutations then the name should not be flipped.
