normalizeUnicode

Normalizes a Unicode string according to the application's configured normalization form. The default form is 'NFC'.

This is useful for ensuring text consistency, since the same visual text can be represented differently in Unicode (e.g., é as a single character vs. e + combining accent). Dream automatically normalizes string values passed to models before database storage, so you'll mostly use this when you need to normalize strings outside of a model context.

import { normalizeUnicode } from '@rvoh/dream/utils'

normalizeUnicode('café')

The normalization form is configured in your dream config:

// conf/dream.ts
dream.set('unicodeNormalization', 'NFC') // default
// or 'NFD', 'NFKC', 'NFKD', 'none'

Setting it to 'none' disables normalization entirely.
