Usage Advice

Use when

Use for the parsed local part (before the @) of a first-class gmeow:EmailAddress when address structure must be queried separately from the whole.

Avoid when

Avoid asserting more than one local part per address (it is functional) and avoid publishing it to public consumers — the local part still identifies a person and is sensitive personal data.

How to use

Derive the local part from gmeow:addressValue; it inherits the address's personal sensitivity and is withheld from public consumers.

Examples

ex:lillithEmail gmeow:localPart "lillith".
