Started implementation of collator in Chrome and hit a problem: var coll = locale.collator(); array.sort(coll.compare);
Compare method gets bound to the undefined or global object at the call site. Erik mentioned that this problem will be solved in Harmony by passing additional "this" parameter to for-each and likes. We would like to propose extending this syntax to the sort method too. We discussed each part of the API in order to get detailed parameters of each constructor and method. General: - Add options property to each class that would give you actual value for the user parameters. For example, if user asked for islamic calendar, and we only have islamic-civil, we set calendar property to islamic-civil. Allows developer to iterate until satisfied with the result. - Use Unicode identifier vs. BCP47 in the API Collator: - numeric - specifies numeric sort (9 comes before 12) - ignoreVariants - ignore all of case, width and kana - ignoreWidth, ignoreCase and ignoreKana - subvariants we may implement to fine tune the behavior - ignoreAccents - ignore accents - ignoreSymbols - ignore punctuation and symbols - variant - phonebook, ... - string NumberFormat: - Allow patterns to specify grouping, currency symbol position and sign location - Start with ICU patterns and see if they work for everybody - Don't support overrides for grouping separator and decimal point for now - Specify both currencySymbol and currencyCode as override DateTimeFormatSymbols: - Added Era and day period methods (AM/PM) - Moved all methods to DateTimeFormat class - Remove DTFSymbols class DateTimeFormat: - Specify calendar names better (move work to Unicode/LDML and point to their document). - Allow short/long dateType to get value from the system or cloud. - .options[skeleton] should contain best match for the given skeleton -- Nebojša Ćirić
