Currencies are a bit strange; the layout of currency data in the CLDR is
not particularly compatible with what ECMA-402 expects. For example, the
currency format in the "en" and "ar" locales for the Latin script are:
en: "¤#,##0.00"
ar: "¤\u00A0#,##0.00"
Note how the "ar" locale has a non-breaking space after the currency
symbol (¤), but "en" does not. This does not mean that this space will
appear in the "ar"-formatted string, nor does it mean that a space won't
appear in the "en"-formatted string. This is a runtime decision based on
the currency display chosen by the user ("$" vs. "USD" vs. "US dollar")
and other rules in the Unicode TR-35 spec.
ECMA-402 shies away from the nuances here with "implementation-defined"
steps. LibUnicode will store the data parsed from the CLDR however it is
presented; making decisions about spacing, etc. will occur at runtime
based on user input.
Currently, LibUnicode is only parsing and generating the "long" style of
currency display names. However, the CLDR contains "short" and "narrow"
forms as well that need to be handled. Parse these, and update LibJS to
actually respect the "style" option provided by the user for displaying
currencies with Intl.DisplayNames.
Note: There are some discrepencies between the engines on how style is
handled. In particular, running:
new Intl.DisplayNames('en', {type:'currency', style:'narrow'}).of('usd')
Gives:
SpiderMoney: "USD"
V8: "US Dollar"
LibJS: "$"
And running:
new Intl.DisplayNames('en', {type:'currency', style:'short'}).of('usd')
Gives:
SpiderMonkey: "$"
V8: "US Dollar"
LibJS: "$"
My best guess is V8 isn't handling style, and just returning the long
form (which is what LibJS did before this commit). And SpiderMoney can
handle some styles, but if they don't have a value for the requested
style, they fall back to the canonicalized code passed into of().
There is quite a lot to be done here so this is just a first pass at
number formatting. Decimal and percent formatting are mostly working,
but only for standard and compact notation (engineering and scientific
notation are not implemented here). Currency formatting is parsed, but
there is more work to be done to handle e.g. using symbols instead of
currency codes ("$" instead of "USD"), and putting spaces around the
currency symbol ("USD 2.00" instead of "USD2.00").
Currently, we have NotA and NotAn, to be used dependent on whether the
following word begins with a vowel or not. To avoid this, change the
wording on NotA to be independent of this context.
The keyword accessors all have the same function body in the spec,
except for the Intl.Locale method they invoke. This generates those
properties in the same manner as RegExp.prototype.
Intl.Locale.prototype.calendar
Intl.Locale.prototype.caseFirst
Intl.Locale.prototype.collation
Intl.Locale.prototype.hourCycle
Intl.Locale.prototype.numberingSystem
The exception is Intl.Locale.prototype.numeric, which will be defined
separately because it is a boolean value.
This isn't particularly testable yet without the Intl.Locale constructor
but having this defined will make testing the constructor possible. So
more specific tests for this prototype will come later.
In the IsStructurallyValidLanguageTag AO, we of course cannot assume the
variants are canonicalized to lower-case yet, because canonicalization
hasn't happened yet.
ErrorType::IntlInvalidCode has almost exactly the same message as
ErrorType::OptionIsNotValidValue. Remove it, as all uses of the former
are semantically interchangeable with the latter.
Note that only option type=region is really implemented. Other types
will resort to the fallback option. This prototype method will be able
to implement other type options once LibUnicode supports more.
There is notably FIXME notations in this commit regarding Unicode locale
extensions. We are not parsing extensions (or private use extensions) at
all yet.
