Class: NameIndex

A set of values to handle specific positions for list of names.

As for list of names, this helps to follow a specific order based on the count of elements. It is expected that the list has to be between two and five elements. Also, the order of appearance set in the configuration influences how the parsing is carried out.

Ordered by first name, the parser works as follows:

  • 2 elements: firstName lastName
  • 3 elements: firstName middleName lastName
  • 4 elements: prefix firstName middleName lastName
  • 5 elements: prefix firstName middleName lastName suffix

Ordered by last name, the parser works as follows:

  • 2 elements: lastName firstName
  • 3 elements: lastName firstName middleName
  • 4 elements: prefix lastName firstName middleName
  • 5 elements: prefix lastName firstName middleName suffix

For example, Jane Smith (ordered by first name) is expected to be indexed: ['Jane', 'Smith'].
