## What is this?
This package takes BCP 47 tags and makes them uniform.
It removes unneeded info (`en-us` -> `en`) and replaces deprecated,
overlong, and otherwise unpreferred values with preferred values
(`en-bu` -> `en-MM`).
It works by applying [Unicode CLDR suggestions][alias].
## When should I use this?
You can use this package when dealing with user-provided language tags and want
to normalize and clean them.
## Install
This package is [ESM only][esm].
In Node.js (version 14.14+, 16.0+), install with [npm][]:
```sh
npm install bcp-47-normalize
```
In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:
```js
import {bcp47Normalize} from 'https://esm.sh/bcp-47-normalize@2'
```
In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:
```html
<script type="module">
import {bcp47Normalize} from 'https://esm.sh/bcp-47-normalize@2?bundle'
</script>
```
## Use
```js
import {bcp47Normalize} from 'bcp-47-normalize'
const tags = [
'de-de-1901',
'en-gb',
'en-us',
'en-bu',
'hy-arevmda',
'nld-nl',
'no-nyn',
'pt-br',
'pt-pt',
'zh-hans-cn'
]
tags.forEach((tag) => console.log('%s -> %s', tag, bcp47Normalize(tag)))
```
Yields:
```txt
de-de-1901 -> de-1901
en-gb -> en-GB
en-us -> en
en-bu -> en-MM
hy-arevmda -> hyw
nld-nl -> nl
no-nyn -> nn
pt-br -> pt
pt-pt -> pt-PT
zh-hans-cn -> zh
```
## API
This package exports the identifier `bcp47Normalize`.
There is no default export.
### `bcp47Normalize(tag[, options])`
Normalize the given BCP 47 tag according to [Unicode CLDR suggestions][alias].
###### Parameters
* `tag` (`string`)
— BCP 47 tag
* `options.forgiving` (`boolean`, default: `false`)
— passed to `bcp-47` as [`options.forgiving`][forgiving]
* `options.warning` (`Function?`, default: `undefined`)
— passed to `bcp-47` as [`options.warning`][warning]
One additional warning is given:
| code | reason |
| :--- | :--------------------------------------------------------- |
| 7 | Deprecated region `CURRENT`, expected one of `SUGGESTIONS` |
This warning is only given if the region cannot be automatically fixed (when
regions split into multiple regions).
###### Returns

## Types
This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It exports the additional types `Options` and `Warning`.
