Ember-intl-errors NPM

ember-intl-errors

This addon is ember-i18n-errors implementation for ember-intl.

It adds to your app a handy helper {{t-error error}} for translating errors in the context of the current route, but also takes advantage of Ember's route nesting to lookup translations in fallback on parent routes.

Installation

ember install ember-intl-errors

Usage

This is better explained with an example.

Let's say we have a validation error with the mandatory shape ({ attribute: 'email', message: 'invalid' }) and some nested routes with this structure:

parent
└── child
    └── grandchild

If within the grandchild.hbs template we use the helper {{t-error error}} the helper will try to find the most especific translation key for it based on the route hierarchy.

It follows a set of conventions very similar to how rails-i18n handles ActiveRecord errors.

The fallback chain for that error will be:

parent.child.grandchild.errors.email.invalid
parent.child.grandchild.errors.invalid
parent.child.errors.email.invalid
parent.child.errors.invalid
parent.errors.email.invalid
parent.errors.invalid
errors.email.invalid
errors.invalid

If none of those keys is defined in your translations the missing translation message will point you to the most specific translation: Missing translation: parent.child.grandchild.errors.email.invalid.
