Case Sensitive / Capital Characters

[julkue]

Currently we have an output like e.g.:

"ü": {
  "mapping": {
    "base": "u",
    "decompose": {
      "titleCase": "Ue",
      "upperCase": "UE",
      "lowerCase": "ue"
    }
  }
},

In order to keep the behavior of mark.js' regular expression creation we need to differentiate between capital and non-capital characters. For above mentioned example I could imagine an output like:

"ü": {
  "capital": false,
  "mapping": {
    "base": "u",
    "decompose": {
      "lowerCase": "ue"
    }
  }
}

So, a new property capital was added and titleCase as well as upperCase was removed. For the opposite -- the capital character:

"Ü": {
  "mapping": {
    "base": "U",
    "decompose": {
      "titleCase": "Ue",
      "upperCase": "UE",
      "lowerCase": "ue"
    }
  },
}

it could be:

"Ü": {
  "capital": true,
  "mapping": {
    "base": "U",
    "decompose": {
      "titleCase": "Ue",
      "upperCase": "UE"
    }
  },
}

What do you think @Mottie?

Btw.: I've noticed that the equivalents generation is inconsistent. We have always used camelCase (e.g. "languageNative") but in the equivalents part we have e.g. html_decimal.

Adding a capital value would be a good addition; but I think it would be better to include all decompose values in case the user is switching the case of the character.

I'll update the database to use camel-cased keys.

but I think it would be better to include all decompose values in case the user is switching the case of the character.

Could you please elaborate this use case bit?

[Mottie]

I know the value could be converted to the desired case before accessing the database, but we don't really know the use-case of the database yet. If a developer wants to get the data for ü, but wants the output to be all caps we should have an upperCase value available.

[julkue]

@Mottie From my point of view we're currently doing everything that is necessary to get mark.js rolled out with the diacritics integration. If we do not have use cases for keeping upperCase and it won't be included in the node module I don't see a reason to keep it?

[Mottie]

What do we do about es characters like ¿ which has the same decompose title, upper and lower case value of ?? There is no case.

Edit: I set these as lower case and removed the title and uppercase entries.

Please review.
