This is [Unicode Normalizer] in a Common JS module. I'm not affiliated with Matsuza, the original author of Unicode Normalizer.

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/walling/unorm.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/walling/unorm)


Installation
------------

```bash
npm install unorm
```

Polyfill
--------

You can use this module as a polyfill for [String.prototype.normalize], for example:

```javascript
console.log('æøåäüö'.normalize('NFKD'));
```

The module uses some [EcmaScript 5](http://kangax.github.io/es5-compat-table/) features. Other browsers should use a compability shim, e.g. [es5-shim](https://github.com/kriskowal/es5-shim).

Functions
---------

This module exports four functions: `nfc`, `nfd`, `nfkc`, and `nfkd`; one for each Unicode normalization. In the browser the functions are exported in the `unorm` global. In CommonJS environments you just require the module. Functions:

 *  `unorm.nfd(str)` – Canonical Decomposition
 *  `unorm.nfc(str)` – Canonical Decomposition, followed by Canonical Composition
 *  `unorm.nfkd(str)` – Compatibility Decomposition
 *  `unorm.nfkc(str)` – Compatibility Decomposition, followed by Canonical Composition


Node.JS example
---------------

For a longer example, see `examples` directory.

```javascript
var unorm = require('unorm');

var text =
  'The \u212B symbol invented by A. J. \u00C5ngstr\u00F6m ' +
  '(1814, L\u00F6gd\u00F6, \u2013 1874) denotes the length ' +
  '10\u207B\u00B9\u2070 m.';

var combining = /[\u0300-\u036F]/g; // Use XRegExp('\\p{M}', 'g'); see example.js.

console.log('Regular:  ' + text);
console.log('NFC:      ' + unorm.nfc(text));
console.log('NFD:      ' + unorm.nfd(text));
console.log('NFKC:     ' + unorm.nfkc(text));
console.log('NFKD: *   ' + unorm.nfkd(text).replace(combining, ''));
console.log(' * = Combining characters removed from decomposed form.');
```


Road map
--------

As of November 2013. Longer term:

- Look at possible optimizations (speed primarely, module size secondarily)
- Adding functions to quick check normalizations: `is_nfc`, `is_nfd`, etc.


Contributers
------------

 - **Oleg Grenrus** is helping to maintain this library. He cleaned up the code base, fixed JSHint errors, created a test suite and updated the normalization data to Unicode 6.3.


Development notes
-----------------

- [Unicode normalization forms report](http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr15/)
- Unicode data can be found from http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd

To generate new unicode data, run:
```sh
cd src/data/src
javac UnormNormalizerBuilder.java
java UnormNormalizerBuilder
```
produced `unormdata.js` contains needed table

Execute `node benchmark/benchmark.js` to run simple benchmarks, if you do any changes which may affect performance.
