What is this?

This package exposes an algorithm to normalize identifiers found in markdown.

When should I use this?

This package might be useful when you are making your own micromark extensions.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:

npm install micromark-util-normalize-identifier

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {normalizeIdentifier} from 'https://esm.sh/micromark-util-normalize-identifier@1'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {normalizeIdentifier} from 'https://esm.sh/micromark-util-normalize-identifier@1?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {normalizeIdentifier} from 'micromark-util-normalize-identifier'

normalizeIdentifier(' a ') // 'A'
normalizeIdentifier('a\t\r\nb') // 'A B'
normalizeIdentifier('ТОЛПОЙ') // 'ТОЛПОЙ'
normalizeIdentifier('Толпой') // 'ТОЛПОЙ'

API

This module exports the identifier normalizeIdentifier. There is no default export.

normalizeIdentifier(value)

Normalize an identifier (as found in references, definitions).

Collapses markdown whitespace, trim, and then lower- and uppercase.

Some characters are considered “uppercase”, such as U+03F4 (ϴ), but if their lowercase counterpart (U+03B8 (θ)) is uppercased will result in a different uppercase character (U+0398 (Θ)). So, to get a canonical form, we perform both lower- and uppercase.

Using uppercase last makes sure keys will never interact with default prototypal values (such as constructor): nothing in the prototype of Object is uppercase.

Parameters

• value (string) — identifier to normalize

Returns

Normalized identifier (string).

Types

This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports no additional types.

Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.

When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of Node. This means we try to keep the current release line, micromark-util-normalize-identifier@^2, compatible with Node.js 16. This package works with micromark@^3.

Security

This package is safe. See security.md in micromark/.github for how to submit a security report.
