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.

Credit
