defmodule Localize do
@moduledoc """
Locale-aware formatting, validation, and data access built on the
Unicode CLDR repository.
Localize consolidates the functionality of the `ex_cldr_*` library
family into a single package with no compile-time backend
configuration. All CLDR data is loaded at runtime from ETF and JSON
files and cached in `:persistent_term` on first access.
## Primary usage modules
* `Localize.Number` — format numbers, decimals, percentages, and
currencies.
* `Localize.Date` — format dates using CLDR calendar patterns.
* `Localize.Time` — format times using CLDR calendar patterns.
* `Localize.DateTime` — format date-times with combined date and
time patterns.
* `Localize.Interval` — format date, time, and datetime intervals.
* `Localize.Unit` — format units of measure with plural-aware
patterns (e.g., "3 kilometers", "1.5 hours").
* `Localize.List` — format lists with locale-appropriate
conjunctions and disjunctions (e.g., "a, b, and c").
* `Localize.Currency` — currency metadata, validation, and
territory-to-currency mapping.
* `Localize.Territory` — territory display names, containment,
subdivisions, and emoji flags.
* `Localize.Language` — language display names.
* `Localize.Collation` — locale-sensitive string sorting using the
Unicode Collation Algorithm.
* `Localize.Locale.LocaleDisplay` — full locale display names
(e.g., "English (United States)").
* `Localize.Calendar` — calendar era names, day/month names, and
day period names.
## Locale management
Localize maintains a per-process current locale and an
application-wide default locale:
* `get_locale/0` — returns the current process locale, falling
back to `default_locale/0`.
* `put_locale/1` — sets the current process locale.
* `with_locale/2` — executes a function with a temporary locale.
* `default_locale/0` — returns the application-wide default,
resolved from environment variables and application config.
* `put_default_locale/1` — overrides the application-wide default.
All formatting functions default their `:locale` option to
`get_locale/0` when no locale is explicitly provided.
## This module
This module also provides text formatting helpers (`quote/2`,
`ellipsis/2`), validators for locales, territories, scripts,
calendars, number systems, currencies, and measurement systems,
and accessors for known locale names and territory lists.
## Optional NIF
An optional NIF-based implementation of selected algorithms
(currently Unicode normalisation and collation sort-key generation)
can be enabled by setting `LOCALIZE_NIF=true` at compile time. See
`Localize.Nif` for details.

Returns the application-wide default locale as a
`t:Localize.LanguageTag.t/0`.
The default locale is resolved once on first access using the
following precedence chain:
1. A value previously set via `put_default_locale/1`.
2. The `LOCALIZE_DEFAULT_LOCALE` environment variable.
3. The `:default_locale` key in the `:localize` application
environment (e.g., `config :localize, default_locale: :fr`).
4. The `LANG` environment variable (e.g., `"en_US.UTF-8"`),
with the charset suffix stripped.
5. `:en` as a final fallback.
The resolved locale is validated via `validate_locale/1` and
cached in `:persistent_term` so subsequent calls are free. If
any source provides an invalid locale, a warning is logged and
the next source in the chain is tried.

Formats `value` as a localized string.
Delegates to `Localize.Chars.to_string/1`. Equivalent to
calling `Localize.to_string(value, [])`.
Built-in locale-aware implementations exist for `Integer`,
`Float`, `Decimal`, `Date`, `Time`, `DateTime`, `NaiveDateTime`,
`Range`, `BitString`, `List`, `Localize.Unit`, `Localize.Duration`,
`Localize.LanguageTag`, and `Localize.Currency`. Any other type
falls through to `Kernel.to_string/1`, so atoms, charlists,
booleans, and `nil` produce the same output they would from
`Kernel.to_string/1`. Types with no `String.Chars` implementation
either (tuples, plain maps, PIDs, references, anonymous functions)
raise `Protocol.UndefinedError`.

adding implementations for your own types.

@doc """
Validates a locale identifier or language tag.
Ensures that the given locale can be resolved to a known CLDR
locale. When given a binary locale identifier, it is parsed into
a `t:Localize.LanguageTag.t/0`. When given an existing language tag
whose `:cldr_locale_id` is not yet populated, a best-match
resolution is attempted using `Localize.LanguageTag.best_match/3`.
POSIX-style locale names (e.g. `"pt_BR"`, `"zh_Hans"`) are
accepted — underscores are normalized to hyphens before parsing.
## Locale resolution
The `:cldr_locale_id` field on the returned language tag is
derived by matching the parsed tag against a list of candidate
locale IDs:
* If `config :localize, supported_locales: [...]` is
configured, the candidate list is the resolved supported
locales. This restricts matching to only the locales your
application explicitly supports.
* If `:supported_locales` is not configured, the candidate
list is all CLDR locale IDs.
Validated locale results are cached in an ETS table so
repeated calls with the same identifier are fast (~1µs).
> #### Always returns a result {: .warning}
>
> This function uses the CLDR locale matching algorithm, which
> is designed to **always return a result** when the candidate
> list is non-empty — even if the match is very distant. For
> example, `validate_locale("xyzzy")` will succeed and return
> some CLDR locale (typically the first candidate), not an error.
> This is the correct CLDR behaviour for user-facing locale
> negotiation (a distant match is better than no match), but it
> means the returned locale may not be what the caller expected.
>
> For strict validation (e.g. resolving configuration values),
> use `Localize.LanguageTag.best_match/3` with a threshold of
> `0` to accept only exact matches after likely-subtag
> resolution.
### Arguments
* `locale` is a locale identifier binary, an atom, or a
`t:Localize.LanguageTag.t/0`.
### Returns
* `{:ok, language_tag}` where `language_tag` is a
`t:Localize.LanguageTag.t/0` with a populated `:cldr_locale_id`.
* `{:error, Localize.InvalidLocaleError.t()}` if the locale
identifier cannot be parsed into a valid language tag.
* `{:error, Localize.UnknownLocaleError.t()}` if the locale
parses successfully but does not match any known CLDR locale
(or any supported locale, when configured).
