The String toLocaleLowerCase() method

New Course Coming Soon:

Get Really Good at Git

Find out all about the JavaScript toLocaleLowerCase() method of a string

Returns a new string with the lowercase transformation of the original string, according to the locale case mappings.

The first parameter represents the locale, but it’s optional (and if omitted, the current locale is used):

'Testing'.toLocaleLowerCase() //'testing'
'Testing'.toLocaleLowerCase('it') //'testing'
'Testing'.toLocaleLowerCase('tr') //'testing'

As usual with internationalization we might not recognize the benefits, but I read on MDN that Turkish does not have the same case mappings at other languages, to start with.

Similar to the toLowerCase() method, except that does not take locales into consideration.

Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to you all the time? Git is something we all need to use, but few of us really master it. I created this course to improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
