#i18n-service

A simple i18n service.

Usage

First you need create a json file in locales folder with the locale name, for example, en.json. The file content needs to follow the flow structure.

{
  "en" : {
    "hello" : "hello",
    "something": "Some text",
    "views" : {
      "login" : {
        "title": "Login page",
        "email": "E-mail",
        ...
      }
    }
    ...
  }
}

Your new locale will be available on http://localhost:3000/en

You can have how many locales you want. For example:

• http://localhost:3000/en
• http://localhost:3000/es
• http://localhost:3000/pt
• http://localhost:3000/pt-br

You can set the locales folder by environment variable, setting LOCALES_FOLDER=/your/locales/folder/

Translating

You can get the literals by three ways.

Getting all locale literals

To get all locale literals you just call the url http://localhost:3000/{locale}/translate

Getting a list of literals

To get a list of literals you need pass the required list by query string, for example: http://localhost:3000/en?l=hello,something

Getting a part of literals

You can get a part of your literal callin the service passing the part by query string, for example: http://localhost:3000/en?l=views.login

The result will be:

{
  "views" : {
    "login" : {
      "title": "Login page",
      "email": "E-mail",
      ...
    }
  }
}
