lib: add navigator.language and navigator.languages by Uzlopak · Pull Request #50303 · nodejs/node

Uzlopak · 2023-10-20T04:03:08Z

This adds navigator.language and navigator.languages based on the capabilities of ICU.

Let’s please ping @nodejs/web-standards for all issues and PRs related to navigator.

This doesn't seem entirely useful given it's based on the capabilities of ICU which for most is bundled.

Consider this a non-blocking -1 that you may dismiss given there's demand for this behaviour.

@panva can you explain? What do you mean by “given it’s based on the capabilities of ICU which for most is bundled”?

The reason to add these properties, like most of the navigator properties, is to enable code that was written for browsers to run without erroring in Node. All of the navigator properties are duplicative of existing Node APIs that provide the same information; that’s irrelevant, because the point is to support code that isn’t written for Node.

Uzlopak · 2023-10-29T02:37:31Z

I thought about this PR and simplified it.

Can you set the default locale of icu in node? If yes, than this PR is still wrong, as it should use that value instead.
But if you cant set the default locale of icu, than this PR should be correct.

GeoffreyBooth · 2023-10-29T03:17:32Z

Can you set the default locale of icu in node? If yes, than this PR is still wrong, as it should use that value instead.

Yes, you can:

LC_ALL=en_US node --print 'new Date().toLocaleString()'
10/28/2023, 8:13:49 PM
LC_ALL=en_UK node --print 'new Date().toLocaleString()'
10/28/2023, 20:13:55

I don’t know if LC_ALL is the only way to set it, but it’s at least one way. You can use Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().locale to see what Node is using:

LC_ALL=en_US node --print 'Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().locale'
en-US
LC_ALL=en_UK node --print 'Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().locale'
en-UK

It was non-blocking in the first place. If the new approach just returns Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().locale it's fine.

@GeoffreyBooth

Nice. LOL, you dont know how much i searched around to find this retrieval opportunity.

Falling back to 'en-US' if Intl does not exist. I guess. how can I configure make to build with full intl?

I oriented the functionality based on the behaviour of Chrome and Firefox. So if you use defineProperty to overwrite navigator.language, then languages wont be changed, like in the browser. Also the Array of navigator.languages is frozen, like it is in chrome and firefox.

Can someone please add the 'author-ready' label and remove the 'c++' and 'i18n-api' labels

GeoffreyBooth

Let's add a test that uses spawnPromisified to start a Node process with an LC_ALL of something non-default, and see that it carries through to this new property.

We should also mention in the docs that this environment variable is one way to set Node's default language.
