infer

Infer a name from an email address

A demo is available at bevacqua.github.io/infer

Install

npm install -S infer

CLI

infer [email protected]
> 'carlos'

API

The API exposes a single expose(email, placeholder?, strict?) method. The placeholder is used if the name cannot be inferred.

infer('[email protected]', 'you');
// <- 'carlos'

The return value is a name when it matches completely with some part of the email address.

infer('[email protected]', 'you');
// <- 'nicolas'

If no name is matched, the full local part of the address is returned.

infer('[email protected]');
// <- 'abudabi'

If the input wasn't even a valid email address, the placeholder is returned.

infer('abudabi');
// <- 'you'

If the input didn't match up with a name and strict is truthy, the placeholder is returned as well.

infer('[email protected]', 'foo', true);
// <- 'foo'
