normalize-locale

When dealing with location data, you sometimes want to enter 'Kenya' or 'Ken' or 'KE' and have that normalized for you. Right? Here is a solution!

Install

npm install --save normalize-locale

And then have fun :-)

 
var loc = require('normalize-locale');
 
 
console.log(loc.normalizeLocale('Kenya'));
console.log(loc.normalizeLocale('KEnyA'));
console.log(loc.normalizeLocale('ke'));
console.log(loc.normalizeLocale('KE'));
console.log(loc.normalizeLocale('KeN'));
 
//how about normalizing languages
console.log(loc.normalizeLanguage('SW'));
console.log(loc.normalizeLanguage('SWAHILI'));
console.log(loc.normalizeLanguage('SWa'));
 
//OK, suppose the people of Kenya also speak French too and it is important to capture this data?
console.log(loc.addLanguage('Kenya','French'));
 
//Cool, But we can also add a locale language in a single line of code
console.log(loc.normalizeLocale('KEnyA','German'));
