Add ignore diacritics capabilities #17236

Open scoopandrun opened 3 years ago

scoopandrun commented 3 years ago

Description

Added the possibility to ignore characters with diacritics. When the user inputs a string, it should match with the items in the list whether or not the input or the items have accented characters.

Fixes #17187 Fixes #17234

Type of changes

This PR introduces a new option Awesomplete.ignoreDiacritics (boolean, default true). When set to true, it allows matching accented characters against non-accented characters. When set to false, it requires characters to be the same to match.

This is an implementation of David Calhoun's blog post.

Hi there,

Thank you for working on this. I think this should be a usage example, not part of the API surface. Hopefully the existing parameters allow for implementing this that way.

Later down the line we should have plugins, and this could be a plugin.
