Using a library like parse-full-name would usually get you a better result than using a simple split on strings.

The string may have titles inside or other inconsistencies that a library would hopefully parse better.

You can use the .split() method to split the string to an array based on spaces in the string. I would use caution with this as names can differ in length and have more than one space.

For simple cases, use .split(). Usually a simple google search can help you.

let fullName = 'Muhammad Ali'
let formattedName = fullName.split(" ")
console.log(formattedName)
