“Homer, .”: name with family and and empty given

[glorieux-f]

Please follow the general troubleshooting steps first:

• [x] I read the README and followed the instructions.
• [x] I am sure that the used CSL metadata follows the CSL schema.
• [x] I use a valid CSL stylesheet

Bug reports:

The default CSL export of Zotero desktop output an empty given ("given": "") when a name has no given.

citeproc-php display it with an empty string after a comma.

• Homer, . (s. d.). Odyssey (family, given=’’).

Zotero desktop export

• Homer. (s. d.). Odyssey (family, given=’’).

Fix, find the right test where given should be not empty. Candidate Rendering/Name/Name.php#L187,

   if ($useInitials && isset($nameItem->given) && !empty($nameItem->given)) {…}

Used CSL stylesheet:

apa.csl

Used CSL metadata

Please replace these lines with your used metadata, for instance:

[
    {
        "id": "id03",
        "type": "book",
        "title": "Odyssey  (family, given='')",
        "author": [
            {
                "family": "Homer",
                "given": ""
            }
        ]
    },
    {
        "id": "id02",
        "type": "book",
        "title": "Odyssey (family)",
        "author": [
            {
                "family": "Homer"
            }
        ]
    }
]

@glorieux-f I can confirm that this fix works for me, it was the main issue I was having along with #169

Can I suggest an additional change, pass "$nameItem->given" through trim before passing it to initializeBySpaceOrHyphen, while it is not strictly cite-procs wheelhouse it prevents "First " from becoming "F. ."
