express-polyglot v0.0.1
Install
npm i express-polyglot --save
Usage
- 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'
};
```
Now, in your app:
```javascript var express = require('express'); var polyglot = require('express-polyglot'); var app = express(); ```
As you can see, we changed nothing yet.
Configure Polyglot: (This is the default configuration)
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.
Use:
app.use(polyglot.load);
Nothing to explain
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.
