Usage

Node

Install: npm install email-util

```js

// Extracts the name tokens from email address + email Display Name. filters out tokens that appear in domain (e.g. acme), are common marketing words (e.g. from) or common english non-person name words (e.g. sales) // Used by email-signature detector to search for sender name tokens in email body. We need to avoid detecting email address tokens such as support or sales as incorrect person name tokens. const per = require('email-util/per'); const { arrNameTok } = per.parseMailTokens( { email: 'davidl from Acme@acme.com', displayName: 'David Landen' } ); expect(arrNameTok).to.have.members("davidl","david","landen");
