@spec all_locale_names() :: [Cldr.Locale.locale_name(), ...]

Returns a list of all the locale names defined in the CLDR repository.

Note that not necessarily all of these locales are available since functions are only generated for configured locales which is most cases will be a subset of locales defined in CLDR.

See also: requested_locales/1 and known_locales/1

@spec available_locale_name?(Cldr.Locale.locale_name() | Cldr.LanguageTag.t()) ::
  boolean()

Returns a boolean indicating if the specified locale is available in CLDR.

The return value depends on whether the locale is defined in the CLDR repository. It does not necessarily mean the locale is configured for Cldr. See also Cldr.known_locale_name?/2.

arguments

Arguments

• locale is any valid locale name returned by Cldr.known_locale_names/1

examples

Examples

iex> Cldr.available_locale_name?(:"en-AU")
true

iex> Cldr.available_locale_name?(:"en-SA")
false

Returns the configured default backend module.

The default backend can be set with Cldr.put_default_backend/1.

Alternatively the default backend may be configured in config.exs under the ex_cldr key as follows:

config :ex_cldr,
  default_backend: <backend_module>

important-note

Important Note

If this function is called and no default backend is configured an exception will be raised.

Returns the configured global default locale.

The default locale can be set with Cldr.put_default_locale/1.

Alternatively the default locale may be configured in config.exs under the ex_cldr key as follows:

config :ex_cldr,
  default_locale: <locale_name>

returns

Returns

• The default locale or

• Raises an exception if no default backend is configured

notes

Notes

Cldr.default_locale/0 returns the system-wide default locale.

@spec display_name(term(), Keyword.t()) :: String.t()

Return a localised string suitable for presentation purposes for structs that implement the Cldr.LanguageTag.DisplayName protocol.

Add locale-specific ellipsis to a string.

arguments

Arguments

• string is any String.t or a 2-element list of String.t between which the ellipsis is inserted.

• backend is any module that includes use Cldr and therefore is a Cldr backend module. The default is Cldr.default_backend/0. Note that Cldr.default_backend/0 will raise an exception if no :default_backend is configured under the :ex_cldr key in config.exs.

• options is a keyword list of options.

options

Options

• :locale is any valid locale name returned by Cldr.known_locale_names/1. The default is Cldr.get_locale/0

• :location determines where to place the ellipsis. The options are :after (the default for a single string argument), :between (the default and only valid location for an argument that is a list of two strings) and :before

options

Options

• territory is any valid territory code returned by Cldr.known_territories/0 or a Cldr.LanguageTag.t

returns

Returns

• A string representing a flag or

• An empty string if the territory is valid but no unicode grapheme is defined. This is true for territories that are aggregate areas such as "the world" which is :001

• {:error, {Cldr.UnknownTerritoryError, message}}

notes

Notes

• If a Cldr.LanguageTag.t is provided, the territory is determined by Cldr.Locale.territory_from_locale/1

examples

Examples

iex> Cldr.flag :AU

Note that the locale is set per-process. If the locale is not set for the given process then:

• Return the global default locale which is defined under the :ex_cldr key in config.exs

• Or the system-wide default locale which is "en-001"

Note that if there is no locale set for the current process then an error is not returned - a default locale will be returned per the rules above.

example

Example

iex> Cldr.put_locale(TestBackend.Cldr.Locale.new!("pl"))
iex> Cldr.get_locale()

@spec known_territory_subdivision_containment() :: map()

Returns a map of territory subdivisions sith a list of their parent subdivisions and region.

For a description of territory subdivisions see Cldr.known_territory_subdivisions/0

@spec known_territory_subdivisions() :: %{required(atom()) => list()}

Returns the map of territories and subdivisions and their child subdivsions.

The subdivision codes designate a subdivision of a country or region. They are called various names, such as a state in the United States, or a province in Canada.

The codes in CLDR are based on ISO 3166-2 subdivision codes. The ISO codes have a region code followed by a hyphen, then a suffix consisting of 1..3 ASCII letters or digits.

The CLDR codes are designed to work in a unicode_locale_id (BCP47), and are thus all lowercase, with no hyphen. For example, the following are valid, and mean “English as used in California, USA”.

en-u-sd-usca
en-US-u-sd-usca

CLDR has additional subdivision codes. These may start with a 3-digit region code or use a suffix of 4 ASCII letters or digits, so they will not collide with the ISO codes. Subdivision codes for unknown values are the region code plus "zzzz", such as "uszzzz" for an unknown subdivision of the US. Other codes may be added for stability.

Set the default system-wide backend module.

Set the current process's locale for a specified backend or for all backends.

arguments

Arguments

• backend is any module that includes use Cldr and therefore is a Cldr backend module. The default is to set the locale for all backends.

It may also be a map that contains the keys "cldr_locale" and "cldr_backend" which is the shape of a Phoenix and Plug session making it easy to set the locale from a session.

returns

Returns

• {:ok, locale}

behaviour

arguments

Arguments

• string is any valid Elixir string

• backend is any module that includes use Cldr and therefore is a Cldr backend module. The default is Cldr.default_backend!/0. Note that Cldr.default_backend!/0 will raise an exception if no :default_backend is configured under the :ex_cldr key in config.exs.
