Proper Name Name
Attempt to properly case a person's name. It should noted that without creating a massive lookup table this can only be partially complete. This module adjusts casing based on patterns of common casing quirks (O'Brien, McDonald, Baron von Mustache, etc.) but there will always be exceptions. For example, MACKENZIE
converts to Mackenzie
even though some people will case it as MacKenzie
Usage
Pass a string to the convert
method. It will return a best effort at converting it to proper name case.
Development
Clone the repo and do your thing. If you add code to cover additional conversions, please make sure they are added to the tests.
Testing
npm run test
The file test-data.js
contains a list of names to be converted and the expected results.
