# ActsAsHuman

    class User < ActiveRecord::Base

      # t.string "first_name"

      # t.string "middle_names"

      # t.string "last_name"

      

      acts_as_human

    end

Supplying first and last names separately:    

    `user = User.new(first_name: 'Brent', last_name: 'Greeff')`

    

You can then read the full_name

    user.full_name

      => "Brent Greeff"

Supplying a full_name:    

    `user = User.new(full_name: "Brent Wicked Middle Names Greeff")`

    

You can then read the individual names:

    user.first_name

      => "Brent"

    user.last_name

      => "Greeff"

    user.middle_names

      => "Wicked Middle Names"

Enable users to provide their full name in a single text input.

Saves to 3 separate fields:

first_name, middle_names and last_name allowing you to easily display their name

in different formats in different places.

Validations limit each name field to 40 characters each, allowing a total length of 120 characters for the full name.

Non-name like characters are invalid.
