a JavaScript function to get initials from names
Install using bower for usage in browser:
bower install --save initials
Install using npm for node.js:
npm install --save initials
console.log( initials('John Doe') );
// 'JD'
console.log( initials(['John Doe', 'Robert Roe']) );
// ['JD', 'RR']
Preffered initials can be passed in (JD), e.g.
console.log( initials('John Doe (JoDo)') );
// 'JoDo'
If a name contains an email, it gets ignored when calculating initials
console.log( initials('John Doe joe@example.com') );
// 'JD'
If a name is an email, the domain part gets ignored
console.log( initials('joe@example.com') );
// 'jo'
When passing an Array of names, doublicates of initials are avoided
console.log( initials(['John Doe', 'Jane Dane']) );
// ['JDo', 'JDa']
I'd say the implementations is robust, but has room for performance optimizations. Pull requests welcome!
