Address compiler

addresscompiler is a UMD module that allows you to compile name-addr e-mail addresses in node and the browser.

Usage

node.js and AMD

require('addresscompiler');

Global context

<!-- exposes global variable addresscompiler -->
<script src="addresscompiler.js"></script>

addresscompiler.compile

Compiles name-address e-mail addresses into a single string.

Examples

A single address:

addresscompiler.compile({
    name: "John Smith",
    address: "[email protected]"
});

// returns
'John Smith <[email protected]>'

Or a list:

addresscompiler.compile([{
    name: "Bach, Sebastian",
    address: "[email protected]"
}, {
    name: "Mozzie",
    address: "[email protected]"
}]);

// returns
'"Bach, Sebastian" <[email protected]>, Mozzie <[email protected]>'

And when using groups

addresscompiler.compile([{
    name: "Composers",
    group: [{
        address: "[email protected]",
        name: "Bach, Sebastian"
    }, {
        address: "[email protected]",
        name: "Mozzie"
    }]
}]);

// returns
'Composers:"Bach, Sebastian" <[email protected]>, Mozzie <[email protected]>;'
