Unicode CLDR usage

How do I get CLDR data?

The Unicode CLDR is available for download as JSON:

• json.zip for the most used languages.
• json_full.zip for all the available CLDR languages.

For the examples below, first fetch CLDR JSON data:

wget http://www.unicode.org/Public/cldr/latest/json.zip
unzip json.zip -d cldr

How do I load CLDR data into Globalize?

The short answer is by using Globalize.load() and passing the JSON data as the first argument. Below, follow several examples on how this could be accomplished.

Example of embedding CLDR JSON data:

<script>
Globalize.load({
  main: {
    en: {
      ...
    }
  },
  supplemental: {
    likelySubtags: {
      ...
    },
    timeDate: {
      ...
    },
    weekData: {
      ...
    }
  }
});
</script>

Example of loading it dynamically:

<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
$.get( "cldr/main/en/ca-gregorian.json", Globalize.load );
$.get( "cldr/supplemental/likelySubtags.json", Globalize.load );
$.get( "cldr/supplemental/timeData.json", Globalize.load );
$.get( "cldr/supplemental/weekData.json", Globalize.load );
</script>

Example using AMD (also see our functional tests):

define([
  "globalize",
  "json!fixtures/cldr/main/en/ca-gregorian.json",
  "json!fixtures/cldr/supplemental/likelySubtags.json",
  "json!fixtures/cldr/supplemental/timeData.json",
  "json!fixtures/cldr/supplemental/weekData.json",
  "globalize/date"
], function( Globalize, enCaGregorian, likelySubtags, timeData, weekData ) {

  Globalize.load( enCaGregorian );
  Globalize.load( likelySubtags );
  Globalize.load( timeData );
  Globalize.load( weekData );

});

Example using Node.js:

var Globalize = require( "globalize" );
Globalize.load( require( "./cldr/main/en/ca-gregorian.json" ) );
Globalize.load( require( "./cldr/supplemental/likelySubtags.json" ) );
Globalize.load( require( "./cldr/supplemental/timeData.json" ) );
Globalize.load( require( "./cldr/supplemental/weekData.json" ) );
