Utilities for formatting localized names.

Installation

yarn add @shopify/name

formatName

Formats a name (given name and/or family name) according to the locale. For example:

• formatName({name: {givenName: 'John', familyName: 'Smith'}, locale: 'en'}) will return John in English and Smith様 in Japanese
• formatName({name: {givenName: 'John', familyName: 'Smith'}, locale: 'en', options: {full: true}}) will return John Smith in English and SmithJohn in Japanese

hasFamilyNameGivenNameOrdering

Returns true when the provided locale formats family name before given name. For example:

• hasFamilyNameGivenNameOrdering('ja') will return true
• hasFamilyNameGivenNameOrdering('en') will return false

abbreviateName

Takes a name (given and family name) and returns a language appropriate abbreviated name, or will return formatName if it is unable to find a suitable abbreviation.

For example:

• abbreviateName({name: {givenName: 'John', familyName: 'Smith'}, locale: 'en'}) will return JS
• abbreviateName({name: {givenName: '健', familyName: '田中'}, locale: 'en'}) will return 田中

You may also pass an optional idealMaxLength parameter, which gives the maximum allowable abbreviation length when trying to abbreviate a name in the Korean language (default 3 characters). In Korean, if the given name is longer than this length, the method will instead return the first character of the given name.

abbreviateBusinessName

Takes a business name and returns a language appropriate abbreviated name, or will return the input name if it is unable to find a suitable abbreviation.

For example:

• abbreviateBusinessName({name: 'Shopify'}) will return Sho
• abbreviateBusinessName({name: 'My Store'}) will return MS
• abbreviateBusinessName({name: '任天堂'}) will return 任天堂

You may also pass an optional idealMaxLength parameter, which gives the maximum allowable abbreviation length when trying to abbreviate a name.
