Description

This library provides a pure Haskell implementation of the Unicode Collation Algorithm, allowing proper sorting of Unicode strings.

The simplest way to use the library is to use the `IsString` instance of `Collator` (together with the `OverloadedStrings` extension):

    >>> import Data.List (sortBy)
    >>> import qualified Data.Text.IO as T
    >>> mapM_ T.putStrLn $ sortBy (collate "en-US") ["𝒶bc","abC","𝕒bc","Abc","abç","äbc"]
    abC
    𝒶bc
    𝕒bc
    Abc
    abç
    äbc

Note the difference from the default sort:

    >>> import Data.List (sort)
    >>> import qualified Data.Text.IO as T
    >>> mapM_ T.putStrLn $ sort ["𝒶bc","abC","𝕒bc","Abc","abç","äbc"]
    Abc
    abC
    abç
    äbc
    𝒶bc
    𝕒bc

A `Collator` provides a function `collate` that compares two texts, and a function `sortKey` that returns the sort key. Most users will just need `collate`.

    >>> let de = collatorFor "de"
    >>> let se = collatorFor "se"
    >>> collate de "ö" "z"
    LT
    >>> collate se "ö" "z"
    GT
    >>> sortKey de "ö"
    SortKey [0x213C,0x0000,0x0020,0x002B,0x0000,0x0002,0x0002]
    >>> sortKey se "ö"
    SortKey [0x22FD,0x0000,0x0020,0x0000,0x0002]

To sort a string type other than `Text`, the function `collateWithUnpacker` may be used. It takes as a parameter a function that lazily unpacks the string type into a list of `Char`.

    >>> let seCollateString = collateWithUnpacker "se" id
    >>> seCollateString ("ö" :: String) ("z" :: String)
    GT

Because `Collator` and `Lang` have `IsString` instances, you can just specify them using string literals, as in the above examples. Note, however, that you won't get any feedback if the string doesn't parse correctly as a BCP47 language tag, or if no collation is defined for the specified language; instead, you'll just get the default (root) collator. For this reason, we don't recommend relying on the `IsString` instance.

If you won't know the language until run time, use `parseLang` to parse it to a `Lang`, handling parse errors, and then pass the `Lang` to `collatorFor`.

    >>> let handleParseError = error  -- or something fancier
    >>> lang <- either handleParseError return $ parseLang "bs-Cyrl"
    >>> collate (collatorFor lang) "a" "b"
    LT

If you know the language at compile-time, use the `collator` quasi-quoter and you'll get compile-time errors and warnings:

    >>> :set -XQuasiQuotes
    >>> let esTraditional = [collator|es-u-co-trad|]
    >>> let esStandard = [collator|es|]
    >>> collate esStandard "Co" "Ch"
    GT
    >>> collate esTraditional "Co" "Ch"
    LT

Note that the unicode extension syntax for BCP47 can be used to specify a particular collation for the language (here, Spanish "traditional" instead of the default ordering; the alias `trad` is used because of length limits for BCP47 keywords).

The extension syntax can also be used to set collator options. The keyword `kb` can be used to specify the "backwards" accent sorting that is sometimes used in French:

    >>> collate "fr" "côte" "coté"
    GT
    >>> collate "fr-u-kb" "côte" "coté"
    LT

The keyword `ka` can be used to specify the variable weighting options which affect how punctuation and whitespace are treated:

    >>> collate "en-u-ka-shifted" "de-luge" "de Luge"
    LT
    >>> collate "en-u-ka-noignore" "de-luge" "de Luge"
    GT

The keyword `kk` can be used to turn off the normalization step (which is required by the algorithm but can be omitted for better performance if the input is already in NFD form (canonical decomposition).

    >>> let noNormalizeCollator = [collator|en-u-kk-false|]

The keyword `kf` can be used to say whether uppercase or lowercase letters should be sorted first.

    >>> collate "en-u-kf-upper" "A" "a"
    LT
    >>> collate "en-u-kf-lower" "A" "a"
    GT

These options be combined:

    >>> collate "de-DE-u-co-phonebk-kb-false-ka-shifted" "Udet" "Über"
    LT

Options can also be set using the functions `setVariableWeighting`, `setNormalization`, `setUpperBeforeLower`, and `setFrenchAccents`:

    >>> let frC = setFrenchAccents True [collator|fr|]
    >>> collate frC "côte" "coté"
    LT

IsString Collator # |
Instance details Defined in Text.Collate.Collator Methods fromString :: String -> Collator #

collate :: Collator -> Text -> Text -> Ordering #

Compare two `Text`s

collateWithUnpacker :: Collator -> forall a. Eq a => (a -> [Char]) -> a -> a -> Ordering #

Compare two strings of any type that can be unpacked lazily into a list of `Char`s.

collatorFor :: Lang -> Collator #

Returns a collator based on a BCP 47 language tag. If no exact match is found, we try to find the best match (falling back to the root collation if nothing else succeeds). If something other than the default collation for a language is desired, the `co` keyword of the unicode extensions can be used (e.g. `es-u-co-trad` for traditional Spanish). Other unicode extensions affect the collator options:

- The `kb` keyword has the same effect as `setFrenchAccents` (e.g. `fr-FR-u-kb-true`).
- The `ka` keyword has the same effect as `setVariableWeight` (e.g. `fr-FR-u-kb-ka-shifted` or `en-u-ka-noignore`).
- The `kf` keyword has the same effect as `setUpperBeforeLower` (e.g. `fr-u-kf-upper` or `fr-u-kf-lower`).
- The `kk` keyword has the same effect as `setNormalization` (e.g. `fr-u-kk-false`).

collator :: QuasiQuoter #

Create a collator at compile time based on a BCP 47 language tag: e.g., `[collator|es-u-co-trad|]`. Requires the `QuasiQuotes` extension.

rootCollator :: Collator #

Default collator based on DUCET table (`allkeys.txt`).

Fields optLang :: Maybe Lang `Lang` used for tailoring. Note that because of fallback rules, this may be somewhat different from the `Lang` passed to `collatorFor`. This `Lang` won't contain unicode extensions used to set options, but it will specify the collation if a non-default collation is being used. optVariableWeighting :: VariableWeighting Method for handling variable elements (see http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr10/, Tables 11 and 12). optFrenchAccents :: Bool If True, secondary weights are scanned in reverse order, so we get the sorting "cote côte coté côté" instead of "cote coté côte côté" optUpperBeforeLower :: Bool Sort uppercase letters before lower optNormalize :: Bool If True, strings are normalized to NFD before collation elements are constructed. If the input is already normalized, this option can be set to False for better performance.

`Lang` used for tailoring. Because of fallback rules, this may be somewhat different from the `Lang` passed to `collatorFor`. This `Lang` won't contain unicode extensions used to set options, but it will specify the collation if a non-default collation is being used.

setVariableWeighting :: VariableWeighting -> Collator -> Collator #

Set method for handling variable elements (punctuation and spaces): see http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr10/, Tables 11 and 12.

setNormalization :: Bool -> Collator -> Collator #

The Unicode Collation Algorithm expects input to be normalized into its canonical decomposition (NFD). By default, collators perform this normalization. If your input is already normalized, you can increase performance by disabling this step: `setNormalization False`.

setFrenchAccents :: Bool -> Collator -> Collator #

`setFrenchAccents True` causes secondary weights to be scanned in reverse order, so we get the sorting `cote côte coté côté` instead of `cote coté côte côté`. The default is usually `False`, except for `fr-CA` where it is `True`.

setUpperBeforeLower :: Bool -> Collator -> Collator #

Most collations default to sorting lowercase letters before uppercase (exceptions: `mt`, `da`, `cu`). To select the opposite behavior, use `setUpperBeforeLower True`.

tailorings :: [(Lang, Collation)] #

An association list matching `Lang`s with tailored `Collation`s.
