 ## Description
 
-Person name handler. [Try it live](https://stackblitz.com/edit/namefully).
+A JavaScript utility for handling person names.

 ## Motivation
 
-Have you ever had to format a user's name in a particular order (or shape)?
-Probably yes. If not, it will come at some point. Be patient. Anyway, that is
-simple and easy to implement. Then, a new requirement for a different project
-comes up and demands that you reuse and/or readjust that old implementation for some
-reason. And trust me, more requirements will keep coming, and you'll have to do
-it over and over. When you face this sort of situation on many occasions, it
-surely becomes annoying and forces you to proceed by copy-paste. Well, as you
-probably guess, that has been my situation for a while.
+Have you ever had to format a user's name in a particular order, way, or shape?
+Probably yes. If not, it will come at some point. Be patient.
+
+You may want to use this library if:
+
+- you've been repeatedly dealing with users' given names and surnames;
+- you need to occasionally format a name in a particular order, way, or shape;
+- you keep copy-pasting your name-related business logic for every project;
+- you're curious about trying new, cool stuff.
 
 ## Key features
 
-1. Offer supports for Latin alphabet, including other European ones
-(e.g., German, Greek, Cyrillic, Icelandic characters)
-2. Accept different data shape as input
-3. Allow a developer to configure optional parameters
-4. Accept customized parsers (do it yourself)
-5. Format a name as desired
-6. Offer support for prefixes and suffixes
-7. Suggest possible usernames associated with the name
-8. Allow hyphenated names, including with apostrophes
+1. Accept different data shapes as input
+2. Use optional parameters to access advanced features
+3. Format a name as desired
+4. Offer support for prefixes and suffixes
+5. Access to names' initials
+6. Support hyphenated names (and other special characters)
+7. Offer predefined validation rules for many writing systems, including the
+   Latin and European ones (e.g., German, Greek, Cyrillic, Icelandic characters)
 
 ## Advanced features
 
-1. Alter the order of appearance of a name: by given name or surname
-2. Handle various subparts of a surname
+1. Alter the name order anytime
+2. Handle various parts of a surname and a given name
 3. Use tokens (separators) to reshape prefixes and suffixes
+4. Accept customized parsers (do it yourself)
+5. Parse non-standard name cases
 
 ## Installation
 
@@ -62,186 +66,192 @@ This package is also available in [Angular](https://angular.io/) and
 
 ## Usage
 
+See `example/example.ts`.
+
 ```ts
 import { Namefully } from 'namefully'
 
-const name = new Namefully('John Joe Smith')
-console.log(name.format('L, f m')) // => SMITH, John Joe
-console.log(name.zip()) // => John J Smith

 ```
 
-> NOTE: The package comes with its own declaration file for
-> [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) support.
+> NOTE: if you intend to use this utility for non-standard name cases such as
+> many middle names or last names, some extra work is required. For example,
+> using `Namefully.parse()` lets you parse names containing many middle names
+> with the risk of throwing a `NameError` when the parsing is not possible.
 
-## Options and default values
+## `Config` and default values
+
+`Config` is a single configuration to use across the other components.
+
+The multiton pattern is used to keep one configuration across the `Namefully`
+setup. This is useful for avoiding confusion when building other components such
+as `FirstName`, `LastName`, or `Name` of distinct types (or `Namon`) that may
+be of particular shapes.
 
 Below are enlisted the options supported by `namefully`.
 
 ### orderedBy
 
-`string: 'firstname' | 'lastname'`, default: `firstname`
+`NameOrder` - default: `NameOrder.FIRST_NAME`
 
-Indicate in what order the names appear when set as a raw string values or
-string array values. That is, the first element/piece of the name is either the
-given name (e.g., `Jon Snow`)  or the surname (e.g.,`Snow Jon`).
+Indicates in what order the names appear when set as raw string values or string
+array values. That is, the first element/piece of the name is either the given
+name (e.g., `Jon Snow`) or the surname (e.g.,`Snow Jon`).
 
 ```ts
 // 'Smith' is the surname in this raw string case
-const name = new Namefully('Smith John Joe', { orderedBy: 'lastname' })
-console.log(name.ln()) // => Smith
+const name1 = new Namefully('Smith John Joe', { orderedBy: NameOrder.LAST_NAME });
+console.log(name1.last); // Smith
 
 // 'Edison' is the surname in this string array case
-const name = new Namefully(['Edison', 'Thomas'], { orderedBy: 'lastname' })

+const name2 = new Namefully(['Edison', 'Thomas'], { orderedBy: NameOrder.LAST_NAME });
+console.log(name2.first); // Thomas

-> NOTE: This option also affects all the other results of the API. In other words,
-> the results will prioritize the order of appearance set in the first place for
-> future operations. Keep in mind that in some cases it can be altered. See the example below.

 ```
 
 ### separator
 
-`string: ':' | ',' | '-', | ',' | ' ' | '_'`, default: `(space)`
+`Separator` - default: `Separator.SPACE`
 
-Only valid for raw string values, this option indicates how to split the parts of
-a raw string name under the hood.

-Skip all the validators (or validation rules using regular expressions).
+Skips all the validators (i.e., validation rules, regular expressions).

+const name = new Namefully(
+  {
+    firstName: 'John',
+    lastName: 'Smith',
+    suffix: 'M.Sc.', // will fail the validation rule and throw an exception.
+  },
+  { bypass: false, ending: true },
+);
 ```
 
-> NOTE: This option can help to trick the utility and allow us to use it for
-> unsupported languages or inner contents like prefixes or suffixes. For example,
-> the Hindi characters will not pass the validation rules. Or, the Spanish
-> equivalent for `Mr` => `Sr` will cause a failure of the utility. Do note though
-> you risk facing some validation errors for certain API.
+To sum it all up, the default values are:
 
-### parser
+```ts
+{
+    orderedBy: NameOrder.FIRST_NAME,
+    separator: Separator.SPACE,
+    title: Title.UK
+    ending: false,

 ### Limitations
 
 `namefully` does not have support for certain use cases:
 
-- mononame:  `Plato`. You can still trick it though by setting the mononame as both
-first and last name;
-- multiple surnames: `De La Cruz`, `Da Vinci`. You can also trick it by using your
-own parsing method or by setting separately each name part via the `Nama|Name` type
-or the string array input;
-- multiple prefixes: `Prof. Dr. Einstein`. An alternative would be to use the `bypass` option.
