Validation for Locale probably with a decorator IsLocale() ?

[rubiin]

This validation that comes with IsLocale() decorator will be used to determine if a value is a valid locale or not . If accepted I can do it and send a PR

Feel free add any functionality. But please be sure what do you mean under term of "locale". It could be language code or geographic/country code. And of course I am pretty sure there is not only one standard like "ISO 639", "ISO_3166", RFC 4646, ...

IETF locale tags like en-US or en-GB

we can include the other standards for future enhancement

This library could be useful for your PR : https://www.npmjs.com/package/locale-code

console.log(LocaleCode.validate('en-US')); // true

console.log(LocaleCode.validate('en_US')); // false

console.log(LocaleCode.validate('bb-XX')); // false

NB: hyphen-separated locales are standard (fr-BE) while the ones with underscore are not (fr_BE), see http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5646

I will be using more like a set of already available locales instead of a lib. I found a list at a lib https://github.com/expandjs/expandjs/blob/master/lib/languages.js
@vlapo @NoNameProvided . Also can we put hacktoberfest label to the issue

Be careful. New lib could increase class-validator package size (we have already problem with this).

@vlapo I am just going to use the list of locales in the lib not the actual lib so nothing to worry
