Add case-insensitive {@eq} comparator about dustjs-helpers HOT 12 CLOSED

{@double-eq}?

from dustjs-helpers.

This would just be a type on {@eq}, like {@eq type="case-insensitive-string"} (which is too long :P )

from dustjs-helpers.

istring?

from dustjs-helpers.

{@eq flags="i"}

from dustjs-helpers.

I don't like introducing a new flags param that would only apply to strings, since eq compares anything.

Good point. Maybe this should be a separate helper? Otherwise "istring" looks pretty good. Although it looks like isString at first glance.

What about something around loose vs strict, where loose matches with
double eq and case insensitive, and strict is what we have? That could be
its own flag or own helper.

{@eq key="0" value=0 strict="false"}true{/eq}
{@ne key="0" value=0}default is strict, just like now{/ne}
{@eq key="Alice" value="alice" strict="false"}maybe it's weird that strict means both double-eq and toLower{/eq}```

{@eq key="3.1" value=3 strict="false"}how deep does it go{/eq}

from dustjs-helpers.

{@eq key="What is the answer?" value=42 strict="false"}Turtles all the way down{/eq}

We should be making it easier to transform inputs instead of adding flags to our comparators. So like if we had a toLowerCase helper or mathFloor helper that we could use inside our eq/ne helpers, we can handle more cases

A filter totally seems like the right solution, and one that people could
add themselves. Nice call.
