i18n-ryla v1.2.0

i18n-ryla

Used for internationalization of ExpressJS api's based on the Accept-Language of the headers.

How to install

npm install i18n-ryla

Create a languages folder with localization json files and config.json

-node-modules
-server.js
-languages
    |
    ---> config.json
    |
    ---> en-us.json
    |
    ---> pt-br.json

An example of a json localization file would be:

// en-us.json
{
    "hello_world": "Hello World!"
}

// pt-br.json
{
    "hello_world": "Olá Mundo!"
}

config.json is required to have at least the default language

// config.json
{
    "default": "en-us" // or pt-pt, pt-br... just make sure you have the corresponding json file
}

In config.json we can also choose if we want to return a similar language if no language on the system is the same as that of the user. Put resemblance = true in config.json

Example: user has only the pt-pt language and the system only pt-br and the default is en-us. In this case with the true resemblance the system returns pt-br instead of en-us.

// config.json
{
    "default": "en-us", // or pt-pt, pt-br... just make sure you have the corresponding json file
    "resemblance": true // optional
}

When you need a multilingual message, import i18n:

const i18n = require('i18n-ryla')

app.use(i18n.message)

app.get('/', (req, res)=>{
    res.send(req.message.hello_world)
})
