# I have this API call stored in a Hashie Map called info

# Right now my logic to parse the first and last name this is something like this

# I'm looking for a better way to accomplish this.

# Basically I don't know exactly what I'll get back. Sometimes a feild will be included in the query, but sometimes not.

# I do it this way so if info.person.name is not returned I won't thow an name is not defined error

      if info.person && info.person.name
        if info.person.name.givenName
          firstname = info.person.name.givenName
        end

        if info.person.name.familyName 
          lastname  = info.person.name.familyName
        end
      end


info = {
  "person": {
    "id": "d54c54ad-40be-4305-8a34-0ab44710b90d",
    "name": {
      "fullName": "Alex MacCaw",
      "givenName": "Alex",
      "familyName": "MacCaw"
    },
    "email": "alex@alexmaccaw.com",

  },
  "company": {
    "id": "c5a6a9c5-303a-455a-935c-9dffcd2ed756",
    "name": "Alex MacCaw",
    "legalName": "Alex MacCaw",
    "domain": "alexmaccaw.com",

  }
}

In ruby < 2.3:

if person = info.person and name = person.name
  firstname, lastname = name.givenName, name.familyName
end
