bobril-g11n v5.2.0

bobril-g11n

Bobril Globalization extension

Changelog: https://github.com/Bobris/Bobril-g11n/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

install from npm:

npm install bobril-g11n --save

It is expected to be used together with bobril-build to handle all code and translation generation. Internally uses moment.js, numeral.js, CLDR. Inspired by formatjs.io. Uses very similar message format. Though I was not satisfied with Intl polyfill. Message parse for speed and size written in hand optimized code instead of Pegjs.

Usage in TypeScript:

import * as b from 'bobril';
import * as g from 'bobril-g11n';

g.initGlobalization({
	pathToTranslation(locale:string):string { return 'tr/'+locale+'.js'; }
});

b.init(()=>{
	return { tag:'div', children: g.t('Hello {who}!', { who: 'World' }) };
});

With bobril-build, you don't need to call g.initGlobalization at all. It will correctly set path to translation by defining global method g11nPath. Just make sure to not call t before bobril will call init factory.

With if you don't need translation to different language just format text with current locale use function f like this:

let modified = Date.now() - 100000; // only sample in reality you would get this from server or whatever
let displayThisInTableCell = g.f('{modified, time, relative}', { modified });

Function getMoment() will give you instance of moment library with locally set current locale.

Set different locale - it will asynchronously download translation file and automatically invalidate Bobril view including ignoring shouldChange results, so your bobflux implementation does not need to care about current locale change.

g.setLocale('cs-CZ');

This is one of examples how to make really human readable messages:

g.t('{numPhotos, plural, =0{no photos} =1{one photo} other{# photos}}', { numPhotos: 1 });
