minimize()
None.
A Intl.Locale
instance whose baseName
property returns the result of the Remove Likely Subtags algorithm executed against locale.baseName
.
This method carries out the reverse of maximize()
, removing any language, script, or region subtags from the locale language identifier (essentially the contents of baseName
). This is useful when there are superfluous subtags in the language identifier; for instance, "en-Latn" can be simplified to "en", since "Latn" is the only script used to write English. minimize()
only affects the main subtags that comprise the language identifier: language, script, and region subtags. Other subtags after the "-u" in the locale identifier are called extension subtags and are not affected by the minimize()
method. Examples of these subtags include hourCycle
, calendar
, and numeric
.
const myLocale = new Intl.Locale("fr-Latn-FR", { hourCycle: "h12", calendar: "gregory", }); console.log(myLocale.baseName); // Prints "fr-Latn-FR" console.log(myLocale.toString()); // Prints "fr-Latn-FR-u-ca-gregory-hc-h12" const myLocMinimized = myLocale.minimize(); // Prints "fr", since French is only written in the Latin script // and is most likely to be spoken in France. console.log(myLocMinimized.baseName); // Prints "fr-u-ca-gregory-hc-h12". // Note that the extension tags (after "-u") remain unchanged. console.log(myLocMinimized.toString());
