Versioning

This project follows semantic versioning:

PATCH

  • Bug fixes
  • Backwards-compatible
  • Resource pack compatibility maintained (packs from 1.0.0 are guaranteed to work for all 1.0.* versions)

MINOR

  • New features
  • Backwards-compatible
  • Internal schema breaking changes (applications must load resource packs from the same major.minor version)
  • CLDR data upgrades which maintain backwards-compatibility

MAJOR

  • Public API breaking changes
  • CLDR data upgrades which change break API compatibility (unit deprecation / renaming, etc)

Features

Package Naming

Packages with the cldr-* prefix represent pieces of the larger library and are designed to work together. The @phensley/cldr package pulls in the full functionality of the library.

Packages without the cldr-* prefix can be used in an application individually without pulling in the larger core library.

You can use any of the packages independent of the rest of the library:

package size dependencies
@phensley/cldr-utils min+gzip
@phensley/decimal min+gzip
@phensley/language-tag min+gzip
@phensley/locale min+gzip size includes language-tag package
@phensley/locale-matcher min+gzip size includes locale and language-tag packages
@phensley/messageformat min+gzip size includes cldr-utils, decimal, and plurals packages
@phensley/plurals min+gzip size includes decimal package
@phensley/timezone min+gzip size includes cldr-utils package
@phensley/unit-converter min+gzip size includes cldr-utils and decimal packages

Goals

  • Support a broad set of CLDR features in the browser "out of the box".
  • Support all scripts and regions for a language in a single compact resource pack.
  • Resolve the CLDR data size and dimensionality problems.
    • In the case of English: ~49MB of JSON for 106 locales is compressed to a 227KB resource pack (42KB gzip), a factor of approx. 220:1 uncompressed, 1200:1 with gzip compression.
  • No additional library dependencies required.
  • No custom extraction of CLDR data or precompilation of formatters required.
  • Correctness and consistency across browsers, Node.js, and other Javascript ES5 runtime environments.
  • Provide type-safety, reducing programming errors.
  • No familiarity with CLDR structure is required for developers to use this library.
  • High performance.
  • Arbitrary precision decimal math, to achieve the same accuracy in the browser as on the server.
