Normalize Languages for Searching?
** Note: You may have already done this but I can't test because of https://github.com/GSA/code-gov-api/issues/273
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...] In order to do server-side filtering of the thousands of repos, we need to have a way to search by the normalized (i.e. lowercase) spelling of languages.
Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
I'd like to be able to search https://api.code.gov/repos?api_key=DEMO_KEY&languages=javascript and have it return all of the repos that are JS regardless of whether incorrect capitalization was used (e.g., Javascript
, javaScript
)
Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. We probably just need to add a .toLowerCase a couple times on the back-end.
Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. This is really important because the browse projects page in the redesign won't work without it.
