Struct icu::locid_transform::LocaleDirectionality

pub struct LocaleDirectionality { /* private fields */ }

Provides methods to determine the direction of a locale.

Examples

use icu_locid::locale;
use icu_locid_transform::{Direction, LocaleDirectionality};

let ld = LocaleDirectionality::new();

assert_eq!(ld.get(&locale!("en")), Some(Direction::LeftToRight));

Implementations

impl LocaleDirectionality

pub const fn new() -> LocaleDirectionality

Creates a LocaleDirectionality from compiled data.

This includes limited likely subtags data, see LocaleExpander::new().

pub fn try_new_with_any_provider( provider: &(impl AnyProvider + ?Sized) ) -> Result<LocaleDirectionality, LocaleTransformError>

A version of Self::new that uses custom data provided by an AnyProvider.

pub fn try_new_with_buffer_provider( provider: &(impl BufferProvider + ?Sized) ) -> Result<LocaleDirectionality, LocaleTransformError>

A version of Self::new that uses custom data provided by a BufferProvider.

✨ Enabled with the serde feature.

pub fn try_new_unstable<P>( provider: &P ) -> Result<LocaleDirectionality, LocaleTransformError>where P: DataProvider<ScriptDirectionV1Marker> + DataProvider<LikelySubtagsForLanguageV1Marker> + DataProvider<LikelySubtagsForScriptRegionV1Marker> + ?Sized,

A version of Self::new that uses custom data provided by a DataProvider.

pub const fn new_with_expander(expander: LocaleExpander) -> LocaleDirectionality

Creates a LocaleDirectionality with a custom LocaleExpander and compiled data.

This allows using LocaleExpander::new_extended() with data for all locales.

Examples

use icu_locid::locale;
use icu_locid_transform::{
    Direction, LocaleDirectionality, LocaleExpander,
};

let ld_default = LocaleDirectionality::new();

assert_eq!(ld_default.get(&locale!("jbn")), None);

let expander = LocaleExpander::new_extended();
let ld_extended = LocaleDirectionality::new_with_expander(expander);

assert_eq!(
    ld_extended.get(&locale!("jbn")),
    Some(Direction::RightToLeft)
);

pub fn try_new_with_expander_unstable<P>( provider: &P, expander: LocaleExpander ) -> Result<LocaleDirectionality, LocaleTransformError>where P: DataProvider<ScriptDirectionV1Marker> + ?Sized,

A version of Self::new_with_expander that uses custom data provided by a DataProvider.

pub fn get(&self, locale: impl AsRef<LanguageIdentifier>) -> Option<Direction>

Returns the script direction of the given locale.

Note that the direction is a property of the script of a locale, not of the language. As such, when given a locale without an associated script tag (i.e., locale!("en") vs. locale!("en-Latn")), this method first tries to infer the script using the language and region before returning its direction.

If you already have a script struct and want to get its direction, you should use Locale::from(Some(my_script)) and call this method.

This method will return None if either a locale’s script cannot be determined, or there is no information for the script.

Examples

Using an existing locale:

use icu_locid::locale;
use icu_locid_transform::{Direction, LocaleDirectionality};

let ld = LocaleDirectionality::new();

assert_eq!(ld.get(&locale!("en-US")), Some(Direction::LeftToRight));

assert_eq!(ld.get(&locale!("ar")), Some(Direction::RightToLeft));

assert_eq!(ld.get(&locale!("en-Arab")), Some(Direction::RightToLeft));

assert_eq!(ld.get(&locale!("foo")), None);

Using a script directly:

use icu_locid::subtags::script;
use icu_locid::Locale;
use icu_locid_transform::{Direction, LocaleDirectionality};

let ld = LocaleDirectionality::new();

assert_eq!(
    ld.get(&Locale::from(Some(script!("Latn")))),
    Some(Direction::LeftToRight)
);

pub fn is_right_to_left(&self, locale: impl AsRef<LanguageIdentifier>) -> bool

Returns whether the given locale is right-to-left.

Note that if this method returns false, the locale is either left-to-right or the LocaleDirectionality does not include data for the locale. You should use LocaleDirectionality::get if you need to differentiate between these cases.

See LocaleDirectionality::get for more information.

pub fn is_left_to_right(&self, locale: impl AsRef<LanguageIdentifier>) -> bool

Returns whether the given locale is left-to-right.

Note that if this method returns false, the locale is either right-to-left or the LocaleDirectionality does not include data for the locale. You should use LocaleDirectionality::get if you need to differentiate between these cases.

See LocaleDirectionality::get for more information.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for LocaleDirectionality

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.
