initials property

String get initials

Gets the user's initials for display in avatars.

For names with multiple words, takes the first letter of the first two words. For single words, takes the first 1-2 characters. Returns '??' if the name is empty.

Examples:

• "John Doe" -> "JD"
• "Alice" -> "AL"
• "A" -> "A"
• "" -> "??"

Implementation

String get initials {
  if (name.isEmpty) return '??';
  final words = name.trim().split(RegExp(r'\s+'));
  if (words.length >= 2) {
    return (words[0][0] + words[1][0]).toUpperCase();
  }
  return name.length >= 2
      ? name.substring(0, 2).toUpperCase()
      : name.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase();
}
