amdi18n-loader

中文文档

Webpack i18n loader helps your projects to process internationalization (i18n).

It's quite similar to require.js i18n plugin.

Features:

Fully compatitable with webpack 1/2/3/4
Works with language packages. (similar to require.js)
Support CommonJS/AMD/ESM module and .json files, and more, .coffee files
Auto init current language via html[lang] attribute, global varible or browser/system settings
Switch current language at runtime
Enable/Disable language packages via queries

Install

npm install amdi18n-loader

Usage

First look at require.js i18n plugin's docs here.

The structure of language packages are like this:

lang.js
zh-cn/lang.js
zh-hk/lang.js

lang.js:

define({
    // root means the common language package
    root:{
        HELLO:'hello'
    },
    // we have the language packages below:
    'zh-cn':true,
    'zh-hk':true
});

zh-cn/lang.js example:

define({
    // please note: no wrapper object here!
    HELLO:'hello in zh-cn'
});

Then use it like this:

define([
    'amdi18n-loader!lang'
],function(amdi18n){

    // By default, it will lookup `window._i18n.locale`,
    //
    // If not found, it will try to use the html[lang] attribute,
    // For example: <html lang="en"> then language `en` was used,
    //
    // If still not found, it will try to use browser/system settings
    //     navigator.languages[0] || navigator.language || navigator.userLanguage (.toLowerCase())
    //
    // If nothing found, `root` was used.
    //
    // You can manully change the language by
    // `amdi18n.init(language)`;

    console.log(amdi18n.HELLO);


});

Advanced Usage

Enable/Disable language packages

You can pass queries to enable or disable some langs.

// We use commonjs now. It matters nothing.
var lang = require('amdi18n-loader?enable=[zh-cn]!');

// It's not ok to use zh-hk now!
lang.init('zh-hk');

The code below behaviors the same:

// We use commonjs now. It matters nothing.
// Notice: we use `|` to as separator,
// Because webpack will break the comma.
var lang = require('amdi18n-loader?disable=[zh-hk|en-us]!');

// It's not ok to use zh-hk now!
lang.init('zh-hk');

It's ok to use both enable and disable, but if any one disables a lang, the lang will not be usable. You can decide which to use by the length of list.

Expose Root Object

In some case, accessing root object is required (#19). You can pass a query expose-root to expose the root object.

require('amdi18n-loader?expose-root=1!')

Notice

If you choose to use .json files as your lang files in webpack 4+, You need to specify the type of json files, otherwise webpack will try to parse the final script content as JSON, and throws errors.

// in module.rules
{
    // to avoid affecting other json files
    // you'd better specify the lang files only,
    test: /\.json$/,
    type: 'javascript/auto'
},
