Address parser
addressparser is a UMD module that allows you to parse mime formatted e-mail address lists in node and the browser.
NB! This module does not decode any mime-word or punycode encoded strings, it is only a basic parser for parsing the base data.
Installation
npm:
npm install https://github.com/whiteout-io/addressparser/tarball/<TAG_NAME>
Usage
node.js and AMD
require('addressparser');
Global context
// exposes global variable addressparser
<script src="addressparser.js"></script>
addressparser #parse()
Parses a list of mime formatted e-mail addresses. Returned array includes objects in the form of {name, address}. If the address is a group, instead of address parameter, group parameter (array) with nested address objects is used.
addressparser.parse(addressString) -> String
For example:
addressparser.parse(('"Bach, Sebastian" <sebu@example.com>, mozart@example.com (Mozzie)');
// returns
[{
name: "Bach, Sebastian",
address: "sebu@example.com"
}, {
name: "Mozzie",
address: "mozart@example.com"
}]
And when using groups
addressparser.parse('Composers:"Bach, Sebastian" <sebu@example.com>, mozart@example.com (Mozzie);');
// returns
[{
name: "Composers",
group: [{
address: "sebu@example.com",
name: "Bach, Sebastian"
}, {
address: "mozart@example.com",
name: "Mozzie"
}]
}]
