Activity-names

Normalise rando activity names from various fitness apis.

Usage:

  const activityTypes = require('activity-types')
  const rawName = getActivityNameFromSomeWhere()
  const normcoreName = activityTypes(rawName)
  // ...now do some aggregations that prefer normalised names.

'Ride' => 'Cycling'
'Bike Riding' => 'Cycling'
'Biking' => 'Cycling'

Standardising on Google Fit names as they are the most comprehensive, except on the issue of "Biking", which is "Cycling".

More generally the normalisation is:

• Sentence case (unless a brand name like CrossFit)
• Slashy alt names, pick the first one. "Boxing / MMA" => "Boxing".
• Remove redundant qualifying paranetheses
  • "Inline skating (rollerblading)" => "Inline skating"
• Any of [/Other.* /, falsey, ] => 'Activity'.
• Defer to the Google fit one if no strong reason not to.
