mongoose-i18n

mongoose-i18n-localize is a mongoose plugin to support i18n and localization in your mongoose schemas.

It seems like mongoose-i18n is not longer supported and I didn't get it to work on my machine, so I decided to write my own version.

Usage

npm install mongoose-i18n

Create your schema:

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var mongooseI18n = require('mongoose-i18n-localize');

var schema = new mongoose.Schema({
	name: {
		type: String,
		i18n: true
	}
});

schema.plugin(mongooseI18n, {
	locales: ['en', 'de']
});

var Model = mongoose.model('Name', schema);

This will create a structure like:

{
	name: {
		en: String,
		de: String
	}
}

All validators of name get also assigned to name.en and name.de.

mongoose-i18n-localize adds the methods toObjectLocalized(resource, locale) and toJSONLocalized(resource, locale) to the i18n schema methods. To set the locale of a resource to en, just do:

Model.find(function(err, resources) {
	var localizedResources = resources.toJSONLocalized('en');
});

//or

Model.find(function(err, resources) {
	var localizedResources = Model.schema.methods.toJSONLocalized(resources, 'en');
});

localizedResources has now the following structure:

[
	{
		name: {
			en: 'hello',
			de: 'hallo',
			localized: 'hello'
		}
	}
]

Use toJSONLocalized according to toJSON.

If you only want to show only one locale message use the methods toJSONLocalizedOnly(resource, locale, localeDefault).

Tests

To run the tests you need a local MongoDB instance available. Run with:

npm test
