acts_as_human

Adds full_name / full_name= to an ActiveRecord model, splitting a single input into first_name, middle_names, and last_name with validations.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  acts_as_human
end

# Gemfile
gem 'acts_as_human'

bundle install
rails generate acts_as_human:migration users
rake db:migrate

Change users to the name of your table.

Assign names individually:

user = User.new(first_name: 'Brent', last_name: 'Greeff')
user.full_name # => "Brent Greeff"

Or assign via a single input:

user = User.new(full_name: 'Brent Wicked Middle Names Greeff')
user.first_name   # => "Brent"
user.middle_names # => "Wicked Middle Names"
user.last_name    # => "Greeff"

acts_as_human require_last_name: false

• first_name is required
• last_name is required (unless require_last_name: false)
• Each field is limited to 40 characters
• Non-name characters (< > & /) are rejected
