Globalize is a cross-platformJavaScript library for internationalization and localization that uses the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR).

Overview

Globalize provides number formatting and parsing, date and time formatting and parsing, currency formatting, unit formatting, message formatting (ICU message format pattern), and plural support.

Design Goals:

  • Leverages the Unicode CLDR data and follows its UTS#35 specification.
  • Keeps code separate from i18n content. Doesn't host or embed any locale data in the library. Empowers developers to control the loading mechanism of their choice.
  • Allows developers to load as much or as little data as they need. Avoids duplicating data if using multiple i18n libraries that leverage CLDR.
  • Keeps code modular. Allows developers to load the i18n functionalities they need.
  • Runs in browsers and Node.js, consistently across all of them.
  • Makes globalization as easy to use as jQuery.

Globalize is based on the Unicode Consortium's Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR), the largest and most extensive standard repository of locale data available. CLDR is constantly updated and is used by many large applications and operating systems, to always have access to the most accurate and up-to-date locale data.

Usage

Since Globalize doesn't bundle any localization data, it has to be first initialized using some CLDR content:

varGlobalize=require("globalize");Globalize.load(require("cldr-data").entireSupplemental());Globalize.load(require("cldr-data").entireMainFor("en","es"));Globalize("en").formatDate(newDate());// > "11/27/2015"Globalize("es").formatDate(newDate());// > "27/11/2015"

History

أُعلن عن مشروع Globalize لأول مرة في أكتوبر 2010 من قِبل جون ريسيج [ 3 ] ، وطُوّر في الأصل بواسطة ديفيد ريد، برعاية مايكروسوفت ، تحت اسم jQuery Globalization plugin [ 4 ] ، بالاعتماد على قاعدة بيانات اللغات الخاصة بـ .NET [ 5 ] . بعد ذلك، أُزيلت التبعية لـ jQuery [ 6 ] وأُعيد تسمية المشروع إلى Globalize [ 7 ] . وفي جهدٍ أكبر بكثير، أُعيدت كتابة المشروع بالكامل بالاعتماد على CLDR الخاص بـ Unicode، مستفيدًا من تغطيته الشاملة والدقيقة لجميع أنواع بيانات التوطين [ 8 ] .
