## Description

This module allows developers to easily construct powerful DeeTermFilters with ease. The filters leverage the ICU framework to provide world class transliteration features.

The filters can be employed manually by calling `dee_icu_term_filter_apply()` or installed in a DeeAnalyzer by calling `dee_analyzer_add_term_filter()` passing the term filter instance as the user data and `dee_icu_term_filter_destroy()` as the GDestroyNotify.

## Details

### DEE_ICU_ERROR

    #define DEE_ICU_ERROR dee_icu_error_quark()

Error domain for the ICU extension to Dee. Error codes will be from the DeeICUError enumeration

### enum DeeICUError

    typedef enum {
      DEE_ICU_ERROR_BAD_RULE,
      DEE_ICU_ERROR_BAD_ID,
      DEE_ICU_ERROR_UNKNOWN
    } DeeICUError;

Error codes for the ICU extension to Dee. These codes will be set when the error domain is DEE_ICU_ERROR.

`DEE_ICU_ERROR_BAD_RULE`: Error parsing a transliteration rule `DEE_ICU_ERROR_BAD_ID`: Error parsing a transliterator system id `DEE_ICU_ERROR_UNKNOWN`: The ICU subsystem returned an error that is not handled in Dee

### DeeICUTermFilter

    typedef struct _DeeICUTermFilter DeeICUTermFilter;

### dee_icu_error_quark ()

    GQuark              dee_icu_error_quark                 (void);

### dee_icu_term_filter_apply ()

    gchar *             dee_icu_term_filter_apply           (DeeICUTermFilter *self,
                                                             const gchar *text);

Apply a DeeICUTermFilter on a piece of UTF-8 text.

`self` : | The filter to apply
`text` : | The text to apply the filter on
Returns : | A newly allocated string. Free with `g_free()`. [transfer full]

### dee_icu_term_filter_destroy ()

    void                dee_icu_term_filter_destroy         (DeeICUTermFilter *filter);

Free all resources allocated by a DeeICUTermFilter.

`filter` : | The filter to free

### dee_icu_term_filter_new ()

    DeeICUTermFilter *  dee_icu_term_filter_new             (const gchar *system_id,
                                                             const gchar *rules,
                                                             GError **error);

Create a new DeeICUTermFilter for a given ICU transliterator system id and/or set of transliteration rules.

`system_id` : | A system id for the transliterator to use. See userguide.icu-project.org/transforms/general
`rules` : | A set of transliteration rules to use. See userguide.icu-project.org/transforms/general/rules. [allow-none]
`error` : | A place to return a GError, or `NULL` to ignore errors. [allow-none][error-domains Dee.ICUError]
Returns : | A newly allocated DeeICUTermFilter. Free with `dee_icu_term_filter_destroy()`. [transfer full]

### dee_icu_term_filter_new_ascii_folder ()

    DeeICUTermFilter *  dee_icu_term_filter_new_ascii_folder
                                                            ();

Construct a term filter that folds any UTF-8 string into ASCII.

Returns : | A newly allocated DeeICUTermFilter. Free with `dee_icu_term_filter_destroy()`. [transfer full]
