Struct icu::locid::Locale

pub struct Locale {
    pub id: LanguageIdentifier,
    pub extensions: Extensions,
}

A core struct representing a Unicode Locale Identifier.

A locale is made of two parts:

• Unicode Language Identifier
• A set of Unicode Extensions

Locale exposes all of the same fields and methods as LanguageIdentifier, and on top of that is able to parse, manipulate and serialize unicode extension fields.

Examples

use icu_locid::{
    extensions::unicode::{key, value},
    locale,
    subtags::{language, region},
};

let loc = locale!("en-US-u-ca-buddhist");

assert_eq!(loc.id.language, language!("en"));
assert_eq!(loc.id.script, None);
assert_eq!(loc.id.region, Some(region!("US")));
assert_eq!(loc.id.variants.len(), 0);
assert_eq!(
    loc.extensions.unicode.keywords.get(&key!("ca")),
    Some(&value!("buddhist"))
);

Parsing

Unicode recognizes three levels of standard conformance for a locale:

• well-formed - syntactically correct
• valid - well-formed and only uses registered language subtags, extensions, keywords, types…
• canonical - valid and no deprecated codes or structure.

At the moment parsing normalizes a well-formed locale identifier converting _ separators to - and adjusting casing to conform to the Unicode standard.

Any bogus subtags will cause the parsing to fail with an error.

No subtag validation or alias resolution is performed.

Examples

use icu::locid::{subtags::*, Locale};

let loc: Locale = "eN_latn_Us-Valencia_u-hC-H12"
    .parse()
    .expect("Failed to parse.");

assert_eq!(loc.id.language, "en".parse::<Language>().unwrap());
assert_eq!(loc.id.script, "Latn".parse::<Script>().ok());
assert_eq!(loc.id.region, "US".parse::<Region>().ok());
assert_eq!(
    loc.id.variants.get(0),
    "valencia".parse::<Variant>().ok().as_ref()
);

Fields

id: LanguageIdentifier

The basic language/script/region components in the locale identifier along with any variants.

extensions: Extensions

Any extensions present in the locale identifier.

Implementations

impl Locale

pub fn try_from_bytes(v: &[u8]) -> Result<Locale, ParserError>

A constructor which takes a utf8 slice, parses it and produces a well-formed Locale.

Examples

use icu::locid::Locale;

Locale::try_from_bytes(b"en-US-u-hc-h12").unwrap();

pub const UND: Locale = _

The default undefined locale “und”. Same as default().

Examples

use icu::locid::Locale;

assert_eq!(Locale::default(), Locale::UND);

pub fn canonicalize<S>(input: S) -> Result<String, ParserError>

where S: AsRef<[u8]>,

This is a best-effort operation that performs all available levels of canonicalization.

At the moment the operation will normalize casing and the separator, but in the future it may also validate and update from deprecated subtags to canonical ones.

Examples

use icu::locid::Locale;

assert_eq!(
    Locale::canonicalize("pL_latn_pl-U-HC-H12").as_deref(),
    Ok("pl-Latn-PL-u-hc-h12")
);

pub fn strict_cmp(&self, other: &[u8]) -> Ordering

Compare this Locale with BCP-47 bytes.

The return value is equivalent to what would happen if you first converted this Locale to a BCP-47 string and then performed a byte comparison.

This function is case-sensitive and results in a total order, so it is appropriate for binary search. The only argument producing Ordering::Equal is self.to_string().

Examples

use icu::locid::Locale;
use std::cmp::Ordering;

let bcp47_strings: &[&str] = &[
    "pl-Latn-PL",
    "und",
    "und-fonipa",
    "und-t-m0-true",
    "und-u-ca-hebrew",
    "und-u-ca-japanese",
    "zh",
];

for ab in bcp47_strings.windows(2) {
    let a = ab[0];
    let b = ab[1];
    assert!(a.cmp(b) == Ordering::Less);
    let a_loc = a.parse::<Locale>().unwrap();
    assert!(a_loc.strict_cmp(a.as_bytes()) == Ordering::Equal);
    assert!(a_loc.strict_cmp(b.as_bytes()) == Ordering::Less);
}

pub fn total_cmp(&self, other: &Locale) -> Ordering

Returns an ordering suitable for use in BTreeSet.

The ordering may or may not be equivalent to string ordering, and it may or may not be stable across ICU4X releases.

pub fn strict_cmp_iter<'l, I>(&self, subtags: I) -> SubtagOrderingResult<I>

where I: Iterator<Item = &'l [u8]>,

👎Deprecated since 1.5.0: if you need this, please file an issue

Compare this Locale with an iterator of BCP-47 subtags.

This function has the same equality semantics as Locale::strict_cmp. It is intended as a more modular version that allows multiple subtag iterators to be chained together.

For an additional example, see SubtagOrderingResult.

Examples

use icu::locid::locale;
use std::cmp::Ordering;

let subtags: &[&[u8]] =
    &[b"ca", b"ES", b"valencia", b"u", b"ca", b"hebrew"];

let loc = locale!("ca-ES-valencia-u-ca-hebrew");
assert_eq!(
    Ordering::Equal,
    loc.strict_cmp_iter(subtags.iter().copied()).end()
);

let loc = locale!("ca-ES-valencia");
assert_eq!(
    Ordering::Less,
    loc.strict_cmp_iter(subtags.iter().copied()).end()
);

let loc = locale!("ca-ES-valencia-u-nu-arab");
assert_eq!(
    Ordering::Greater,
    loc.strict_cmp_iter(subtags.iter().copied()).end()
);

pub fn normalizing_eq(&self, other: &str) -> bool

Compare this Locale with a potentially unnormalized BCP-47 string.

The return value is equivalent to what would happen if you first parsed the BCP-47 string to a Locale and then performed a structural comparison.

Examples

use icu::locid::Locale;

let bcp47_strings: &[&str] = &[
    "pl-LaTn-pL",
    "uNd",
    "UND-FONIPA",
    "UnD-t-m0-TrUe",
    "uNd-u-CA-Japanese",
    "ZH",
];

for a in bcp47_strings {
    assert!(a.parse::<Locale>().unwrap().normalizing_eq(a));
}

Trait Implementations

impl AsMut<LanguageIdentifier> for Locale

fn as_mut(&mut self) -> &mut LanguageIdentifier

Converts this type into a mutable reference of the (usually inferred) input type.

impl AsRef<LanguageIdentifier> for Locale

fn as_ref(&self) -> &LanguageIdentifier

Converts this type into a shared reference of the (usually inferred) input type.

impl Clone for Locale

fn clone(&self) -> Locale

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)
