What is language-tags?

The language-tags npm package is a utility for working with IETF language tags (BCP 47). It provides functionality to parse, validate, and manipulate language tags, making it useful for handling language data in applications that need to support internationalization.

What are language-tags's main functionalities?

Parsing and Validating Language Tags

This feature allows you to parse a language tag string and check if it is valid according to BCP 47 standards. The example demonstrates how to parse the tag 'en-GB' and check its validity.

const tags = require('language-tags');
const tag = tags('en-GB');
console.log(tag.valid()); // true

Subtag Lookup

This feature enables looking up details of specific subtags within a language tag. In the example, it retrieves descriptions for the language subtag of 'en-GB'.

const tags = require('language-tags');
const tag = tags('en-GB');
console.log(tag.language().descriptions()); // ['English']

Data Access

This feature provides access to additional data related to a language tag, such as its scope, type, and more. The example shows how to access the scope of the 'en' language tag.

const tags = require('language-tags');
const data = tags('en').data();
console.log(data.scope); // 'macrolanguage'
