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 🙏

Readme

lt-locales

Liviu Tudor's own locale library.

This package has been created from the need to support locales in the format: en-US (lots of packages already support that) as well as zh-Hant-TW (this is traditional Chinese spoken in Taiwan). I couldn't find really a (simple) package to just parse a locale and give me the correct ISO language code (zh-Hant in this case) and country code (TW in the above). Also, in my apps I need not just the code but the English description of the languge and country -- so I created this package.

Usage

The main bit is the parseLocale function which accepts a locale string as a parameter (e.g. ro-RO) and returns an object containing the parsed components (language code, language description, country code, description):

    const Locales = require('lt-locales');

    let parsed = Locales.parseLocale('en-US'); //{ languageCode: 'en', language: 'English', countryCode: 'US', country: 'United States of America', locale: 'en-US' }

    let parsed = Locales.parseLocale('zh-Hant-TW'); //{ languageCode: 'zh-Hant', language: 'Traditional Chinese', countryCode: 'TW', country: 'TAIWAN', locale: 'zh-Hant-TW' }

Others

The module offers 2 other function:

  • compareByLangCode: this is a comparator function which takes as a parameter 2 locale objects (as returned by parseLocale) and compares them based on the language code. For example:
    const Locales = require('lt-locales');

    Locales.compareByLangCode({ languageCode: 'en', language: 'English', countryCode: 'US', country: 'United States of America', locale: 'en-US' }, { languageCode: 'ro', language: 'Romanian', countryCode: 'RO', country: 'ROMANIA', locale: 'ro-RO' }); // returns same as "en".localeCompare("ro") == -1
  • compareByCountryCode: this is a comparator function which takes as a parameter 2 locale objects (as returned by parseLocale) and compares them based on the country code. For example:
    const Locales = require('lt-locales');

    Locales.compareByLangCode({ languageCode: 'en', language: 'English', countryCode: 'US', country: 'United States of America', locale: 'en-US' }, { languageCode: 'ro', language: 'Romanian', countryCode: 'RO', country: 'ROMANIA', locale: 'ro-RO' }); // returns same as "US".localeCompare("RO") == 1

Data

The code contains 2 JSON files containing all the ISO 639-1 language codes and names and ISO 3166-1 country codes and names. This is used for mapping country code to names and languages codes to language names.

Currently these are lazily-loaded (on first call to parseLocale) however they are loaded synchronously so your first call will take a hit for loading the data. Future versions may add support for async.
