Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Match BCP 47 language tags with language ranges per RFC 4647.

Contents

What is this?

This package can match BCP 47 language tags with “language ranges” per RFC 4647. This is done by the :lang() pseudo class in CSS, the Accept-Language HTTP header, and a few other places.

When should I use this?

You can use this package if you want to choose a certain document based on language tags.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 14.14+, 16.0+), install with npm:

npm install bcp-47-match

In Deno with esm.sh:

import * as bcp47Match from 'https://esm.sh/bcp-47-match@2'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import * as bcp47Match from 'https://esm.sh/bcp-47-match@2?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {basicFilter, extendedFilter, lookup} from 'bcp-47-match'

const tags = ['en-GB', 'de-CH', 'en', 'de']

console.log(basicFilter(tags, '*')) // => [ 'en-GB', 'de-CH', 'en', 'de' ]
console.log(basicFilter(tags, 'en')) // => [ 'en-GB', 'en' ]
console.log(basicFilter(tags, 'en-GB')) // => [ 'en-GB' ]
console.log(basicFilter(tags, ['en-GB', 'en'])) // => [ 'en-GB', 'en' ]
console.log(basicFilter(tags, 'jp')) // => []

console.log(extendedFilter(tags, '*')) // => [ 'en-GB', 'de-CH', 'en', 'de' ]
console.log(extendedFilter(tags, 'en')) // => [ 'en-GB', 'en' ]
console.log(extendedFilter(tags, 'en-GB')) // => [ 'en-GB' ]
console.log(extendedFilter(tags, '*-GB')) // => [ 'en-GB' ]
console.log(extendedFilter(tags, ['en-GB', 'en'])) // => [ 'en-GB', 'en' ]
console.log(extendedFilter(tags, 'jp')) // => []

console.log(lookup(tags, 'en')) // => 'en'
console.log(lookup(tags, 'en-GB')) // => 'en-GB'
console.log(lookup(tags, ['en-GB', 'en'])) // => 'en-GB'
console.log(lookup(tags, ['en', 'en-GB'])) // => 'en'
console.log(lookup(tags, 'jp')) // => undefined

API

This package exports the identifier basicFilter, extendedFilter, and lookup. There is no default export.

basicFilter(tags[, ranges='*'])

👉 Note: See Basic Filtering spec

Match language tags to a list of simple ranges. Searches for matches between the first range and all tags, and continues with further ranges. Returns a list of matching tags in the order they matched.

| Basic Filter | * | de | de-CH | de-DE | de-*-DE | *-CH | | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | | de | ✔︎ | ✔︎ | | | | | | de-CH | ✔︎ | ✔︎ | ✔︎ | | | | | de-CH-1996 | ✔︎ | ✔︎ | ✔︎ | | | | | de-DE | ✔︎ | ✔︎ | | ✔︎ | | | | de-DE-1996 | ✔︎ | ✔︎ | | ✔︎ | | | | de-DE-x-goethe | ✔︎ | ✔︎ | | ✔︎ | | | | de-Deva | ✔︎ | ✔︎ | | | | | | de-Deva-DE | ✔︎ | ✔︎ | | | | | | de-Latf-DE | ✔︎ | ✔︎ | | | | | | de-Latn-DE | ✔︎ | ✔︎ | | | | | | de-Latn-DE-1996 | ✔︎ | ✔︎ | | | | | | de-x-DE | ✔︎ | ✔︎ | | | | | | en | ✔︎ | | | | | | | en-GB | ✔︎ | | | | | | | zh | ✔︎ | | | | | | | zh-Hans | ✔︎ | | | | | | | zh-Hant | ✔︎ | | | | | |

Parameters
  • tags (string or Array<string>) — list of BCP 47 tags
  • ranges (string or Array<string>, default: '*') — list of RFC 4647 basic ranges (aka, matching /^(\*|[a-z]{1,8}(-[a-z0-9]{1,8})*)$/i)
Returns

Possibly empty list of matching tags in the order they matched (Array<string>).

extendedFilter(tags[, ranges='*'])

👉 Note: See Extended Filtering spec

Returns

Possibly empty list of matching tags in the order they matched (Array<string>).

lookup(tags, ranges)
