Parse a string into an object with name, email and url properties following npm conventions. Useful for the authors property in package.json or for parsing an AUTHORS file into an array of authors objects.

Install with npm:

$ npm i parse-author --save

var authors = require('parse-author'); authors('Jon Schlinkert <jon.schlinkert@sellside.com> (https://github.com/jonschlinkert)'); //=> {name: 'Jon Schlinkert', email: 'jon.schlinkert@sellside.com', url: 'https://github.com/jonschlinkert'}

Any of the properties can be used or missing:

authors('') //=> {name: '', email: '', url: ''} authors('Jon Schlinkert (https://github.com/jonschlinkert)'); //=> {name: 'Jon Schlinkert', email: '', url: 'https://github.com/jonschlinkert'}
