full-icu-npm's Introduction

full-icu-npm

Install full ICU data

npm install full-icu

npm install -g full-icu

Instructions will be printed out on how to activate this data for your version of node.

This work gets done in a postinstall script which copies the icudt*.dat file up to this module's level.

API

require('full-icu') returns a few properties:

nodever - the full Node version (ex: 14.2.0)
node_maj - the major part of the node version (ex: 14)
node_min - the minor part of the node version (ex 2)
icu_small - if truthy, means that node was built with small-icu (English only). If falsy, means that the full-icu package is not relevant.
icuver - the full ICU version, if available, such as 55.1. Sometimes only the major version is available.
icumaj - ICU major ver, such as 55. May be === icuver.
icumin - ICU minor version, such as 1 if available.
icuend - ICU endianness - little, big or ebcdic.
icupkg - the npm package needed to get full ICU data, if any.
icudat - the raw data file ICU expects to find for full data, if any.
noi18n - if truthy, no ICU / Intl build was enabled for your node version. Sorry.
oldNode - The node version is older than this package can really think about.

node-full-icu-path will print the full icudt*.dat path, if available.
