HumanName

Elixir wrapper for David Judd's excellent human-name crate implemented as a BEAM-friendly Rust NIF.

The API implemented for use in Elixir/Erlang does not cover every aspect of the Rust library. Feel free to open a PR for contributions.

Installation

This package can be installed by adding human_name to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:human_name, "~> 0.6.1"}
  ]
end

By default you do not need Rust installed because the lib will try to download a precompiled NIF file.

In case you want to force compilation set the HUMAN_NAME_BUILD environment variable to true or 1.

To run tests locally, you could do a HUMAN_NAME_BUILD=1 mix test.

Alternatively you can also set the application env :build_from_source to true in order to force the build:

config :human_name, HumanName, build_from_source: true

Usage

iex> HumanName.consistent_with?("Jimmy H Jenkins", "Jim Jenkins")
{:ok, true}

iex> HumanName.first_and_last_initials("Dr. Alibaster Cornelius Juniper III")

{:ok, "A"}
