port to npm/node? #9

Open ralyodio opened 10 years ago

It looks like this may handle middle names better than the only package on npmjs.org that does name parsing.

Bit of an old issue but I was actually thinking of porting this library to JS. I have a project that currently uses this but I am needing a client-side version with 100% matching parsing so in a couple weeks when I get some free time I might look into it.

I'll reply to this issue if I do end up porting it.

Checkout humanparser on npm

Thanks! Question though, how similar is human.parseName() to this library? I am basically needing a 100% port of this library with the exact same parsing rules.

YOu can see the unit tests here: https://github.com/chovy/humanparser/blob/master/test/index.js
