I can't speak to what you are trying to do specifically with the function itself, but if you don't like the regex being built every time, here are two solutions and some caveats about each.
Here is one way to do this:
function makeSortString(s) {
if(!makeSortString.translate_re) makeSortString.translate_re = /[öäüÖÄÜ]/g;
var translate = {
"ä": "a", "ö": "o", "ü": "u",
"Ä": "A", "Ö": "O", "Ü": "U" // probably more to come
};
return ( s.replace(makeSortString.translate_re, function(match) {
return translate[match];
}) );
}
This will obviously make the regex a property of the function itself. The only thing you may not like about this (or you may, I guess it depends) is that the regex can now be modified outside of the function's body. So, someone could do this to modify the interally-used regex:
makeSortString.translate_re = /[a-z]/g;
So, there is that option.
One way to get a closure, and thus prevent someone from modifying the regex, would be to define this as an anonymous function assignment like this:
var makeSortString = (function() {
var translate_re = /[öäüÖÄÜ]/g;
return function(s) {
var translate = {
"ä": "a", "ö": "o", "ü": "u",
"Ä": "A", "Ö": "O", "Ü": "U" // probably more to come
};
return ( s.replace(translate_re, function(match) {
return translate[match];
}) );
}
})();
Hopefully this is useful to you.
UPDATE: It's early and I don't know why I didn't see the obvious before, but it might also be useful to put you translate object in a closure as well:
var makeSortString = (function() {
var translate_re = /[öäüÖÄÜ]/g;
var translate = {
"ä": "a", "ö": "o", "ü": "u",
"Ä": "A", "Ö": "O", "Ü": "U" // probably more to come
};
return function(s) {
return ( s.replace(translate_re, function(match) {
return translate[match];
}) );
}
})();
The correct terminology for such accents is Diacritics. After Googling this term, I found this function which is part of backbone.paginator. It has a very complete collection of Diacritics and replaces them with their most intuitive ascii character. I found this to be the most complete Javascript solution available today.
The full function for future reference:
function removeDiacritics (str) {
var defaultDiacriticsRemovalMap = [
