@zzkit/i18n

A simple i18n library for Node.js with template support.

Installation

npm install @zzkit/i18n

Usage

import { I18n } from "@zzkit/i18n";

const i18n = new I18n({
  en: {
    hello: "Hello, { user.name }!",
    byebye: "Bye bye, { user.name }!",
  },
  zh: {
    hello: ({ user: { name } }) => `你好,${name}!`,
    byebye: ({ user: { name } }) => `再见,${name}!`,
  },
});

const context = {
  user: {
    name: "luke",
  },
};

const t1 = i18n.t("hello", "en", context);
// => 'Hello, John!'

const t2 = i18n.t("hello", "zh", context);
// => '你好,John!'

The I18n class takes in a translations object where keys are locale codes and values are translation objects.

The t() method translates a text key for the given locale. It supports interpolation using {key} in the translation text. Functions can also be used as translations to support more complex logic.

API

new I18n(translations)

Creates a new instance with the given translations.

i18n.t(key, [locale], [context], [defaultTrans?], [defaultGetValue?])

Translates key for the given locale.

• key - The text key to translate
• locale - The locale code. Default en.
• context - Object with keys to interpolate.
• defaultTrans - Default translation if key not found.
• defaultGetValue - Default value for get function.

i18n.locale(locale)

Get the I18nLocale instance for locale. Useful for calling methods like t() directly.
