Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Install

npm i express-polyglot --save

Usage

  1. Start by creating a folder in which you write your locales, Eg:
App Folder
|___locales
    |   en.js
    |   ar.js
...

Every file should have module.exports, Eg:

**en.js**:
```javascript
module.exports = {
    hello: 'Hello World'
};
```
  1. Now, in your app:

    var express = require('express');
    var polyglot = require('express-polyglot');
    
    var app = express();

As you can see, we changed nothing yet. 3. Configure Polyglot: (This is the default configuration)

```javascript
polyglot.configure({
    defaultLang: 'en', // Default language code
    directory: './locales', // Directory of your files
    aliasLangName: 'langName', // The property that will take language code in req (req.langName = 'en')
    aliasTxt: 'strs', // The property that will take language strings in req (req.strs.hello = 'Hello World')
    cookie: 'lang', // The cookie name in which the language code will be stored
    queryParam: 'lang', // The url parameter when switching
});
```
*If you have nothing to change to default values just don't use the method.*
  1. Use:

    app.use(polyglot.load);

    Nothing to explain

  2. Switching: Set a route where the language will be switched.

    app.use('/locale', polyglot.switch);

    Now to switch you can request '/locale?lang=ar'.

    If you changed the queryParam property, use your value instead of 'lang'

    This will change the language and the cookie.
