Human names

This rule encourages terms for human names (given_name and family_name) that are more accurate across cultures, as mandated in AIP-148.

Details

This rule looks for fields named first_name and last_name, and complains if it finds them, suggesting the use of given_name and family_name (respectively) instead.

Examples

Incorrect code for this rule:

// Incorrect.
message Human {
  string first_name = 1;  // Should be `given_name`.
  string last_name = 2;   // Should be `family_name`
}

Correct code for this rule:

// Correct.
message Human {
  string given_name = 1;
  string family_name = 2;
}

Disabling

If you need to violate this rule, use a leading comment above the field or its enclosing message. Remember to also include an aip.dev/not-precedent comment explaining why.

// (-- api-linter: core::0148::human-names=disabled
//     aip.dev/not-precedent: We need to do this because reasons. --)
message Human {
  string first_name = 1;
  string last_name = 2;
}

If you need to violate this rule for an entire file, place the comment at the top of the file.
