The tool helps to provide language support to your applications. Thanks to the JSON output it gives, it is possible to use it in all your projects. Currently only CLI supports it. The tool is used to provide language support to Sci-Hook systems and is regularly updated by the Sci-Hook Development Team.
It is possible to install the package directly to your project folder via npm. For this, you must come to the terminal where you run your project and run the npm install command below:
$ npm install localizer-js
After running the command, the latest version of the package will automatically start downloading to the "node_modules" folder. Please wait until npm service completes the process.
The tool has been developed to be very easy and fast to use. You can start using it by typing localize
on the command line.
$ localize compile
It is ensured that the inputs given with the above-mentioned command are compiled as a single file. The command takes a parameter specified as --config
or -c
. Below is an example of this:
$ localize compile --config config.json
The command you see above performs the compilation process with the information it receives from the config.json
file specified in the --config
parameter.
{
"langs": [
"en",
"tr"
],
"input-dir": "i18n",
"output-file": "output.json",
"files": {
"messages": "messages",
"text": "text"
},
"global": true
}
An example of configuration is given above.
Options | Description |
---|---|
langs |
It is a list of languages requested as output. |
input-dir |
It is the file that contains the values given as input to the system. |
output-file |
It is the file that the system gives output in compiled form. |
global |
Commonly assigned values for all languages. |
Below is an example image of a file structure created for input-dir
:
A folder has been created for messages
and text
mentioned in files
above, and a JSON file for each language has been added to the folders.
The en.json
and tr.json
files are assigned values as follows:
{
"test": "hello"
}
{
"test": "merhaba"
}
$ localize compile --config config.json
When you run the above command, the JSON file specified in the output-file
option specified in config.json
is output. The output looks like this:
{
"en": {
"text": {
"test": "hello"
}
},
"tr": {
"text": {
"test": "merhaba"
}
}
}
