ilib-casemapper v1.0.2
ilib-casemapper
Map a string to upper- or lower-case locale-sensitively.
Many people don't realize that case mapping is a locale-sensitive operation. The fact is, what the upper-case version of a particular letter is depends on who you ask!
Installation
npm install ilib-casemapper
# or
yarn add ilib-casemapper
Upper- or Lower-casing a Letter
To map the case of a letter, you first create an instance of the CaseMapper class. By default, this will use the mappings for English.
Here is how you would map a letter using the Turkish rules:
// ES5
var CaseMapper = require("ilib-casemapper");
var cm = new CaseMapper({ locale: "tr-TR" });
var upper = cm.map("i"); // "upper" should now contain "İ"
// ES6
import CaseMapper from "ilib-casemapper";
const cm = new CaseMapper({ locale: "tr-TR" });
const upper = cm.map("i"); // "upper" should now contain "İ"
In general, you should be able to use the case mapper in older Javascript engines by requiring it, or in modern Javascript engines by importing it. The package was built to be able to support both. From here on, we will only give modern JS examples.
Here is how you use the case mapper to lower:
import CaseMapper from "ilib-casemapper";
const cm = new CaseMapper({
locale: "tr-TR",
direction: "lower"
});
const upper = cm.map("İ"); // "upper" should now contain "i"
