i18next-resources-for-ts v1.5.0

Introduction

This package helps to transform resources to be used in a typesafe i18next project.

Getting started

Source can be loaded via npm.

# npm package
$ npm install i18next-resources-for-ts

Usage via code (toc):

import { tocForResources } from 'i18next-resources-for-ts'

const nsA = {
  name: 'nsA',
  path: '/some/path/locales/en/nsA.json'
}
const nsB = {
  name: 'nsB',
  path: '/some/path/locales/en/nsB.json'
}

const toc = tocForResources([nsA, nsB], '/some/path')
// import nsA from './locales/en/nsA.json';
// import nsB from './locales/en/nsB.json';
// 
// const resources = {
//   nsA,
//   nsB
// };
// 
// export default resources;

Usage via code (merge):

import { mergeResources } from 'i18next-resources-for-ts'

const nsA = {
  name: 'nsA',
  resources: {
    k1: 'v1',
    k2: 'v2',
    k3: {
      d3: 'v3'
    }
  }
}
const nsB = {
  name: 'nsB',
  resources: {
    k21: 'v21',
    k22: 'v22',
    k23: {
      d23: 'v23'
    }
  }
}

const merged = mergeResources([nsA, nsB])
// {
//   nsA: {
//     k1: 'v1',
//     k2: 'v2',
//     k3: {
//       d3: 'v3'
//     }
//   },
//   nsB: {
//     k21: 'v21',
//     k22: 'v22',
//     k23: {
//       d23: 'v23'
//     }
//   }
// }

Usage via code (interface):

import { mergeResourcesAsInterface } from 'i18next-resources-for-ts'

const nsA = {
  name: 'nsA',
  resources: {
    k1: 'v1',
    k2: 'v2',
    k3: {
      d3: 'v3'
    }
  }
}
const nsB = {
  name: 'nsB',
  resources: {
    k21: 'v21',
    k22: 'v22',
    k23: {
      d23: 'v23'
    }
  }
}

const definition = mergeResourcesAsInterface([nsA, nsB])
// interface Resources {
//   nsA: {
//     k1: 'v1',
//     k2: 'v2',
//     k3: {
//       d3: 'v3'
//     }
//   },
//   nsB: {
//     k21: 'v21',
//     k22: 'v22',
//     k23: {
//       d23: 'v23'
//     }
//   }
// }

// export default Resources;

Usage via CLI:

# use it with npx
npx i18next-resources-for-ts subcommand -i /Users/user/my/input -o /Users/user/my/output

# or install it globally
npm install i18next-resources-for-ts -g

# subcommand is either toc or merge
# -i is the input path
# -o is the output path
# if the output path is not provided, it will use the input path as base path for the result file

i18next-resources-for-ts toc -i /Users/user/my/input -o /Users/user/my/output.ts
i18next-resources-for-ts interface -i /Users/user/my/input -o /Users/user/my/output.d.ts
i18next-resources-for-ts merge -i /Users/user/my/input -o /Users/user/my/output.json
# i18next-resources-for-ts toc /Users/user/my/input -o /Users/user/my/output
# i18next-resources-for-ts toc -o /Users/user/my/output
# i18next-resources-for-ts toc -i /Users/user/my/input
# i18next-resources-for-ts toc
# 
# toc accepts also the optional -cts argument that will automatically convert json to ts files and the optional -d argument that will delete the original json files
# toc and interface accepts also the optional -c argument, that will add a file-level comment on the output file (i.e. -c "This file is generated by i18next-resources-for-ts")

Make sure your folder structure contains all relevant namespaces (in your source/reference language):

└── namespace.json

or

└── namespace.yml

or

└── namespace.yaml

i.e.

├── translation.json
└── common.json

or

├── translation.yml
└── common.yml

or

├── translation.yaml
└── common.yaml
