Angular usage

i18n

The i18n() provider returns translations as string, function or as the provided key as value if no mapping is found. It is tied to the window.i18n object:

i18nProvider.defaults.i18n = window.i18n // in the config phase

i18n('desired', {}) // 'Wünsche ich mir'

getLocale

Use this provider to load a locale, and optionally to reset it. This method is a promise. You need to provide a default url in the configuration phase of your application:

getLocaleProvider.defaults.url = 'https://app.qipp.com/path/de_DE/i18n.js'

getLocale('de_DE').then(
    // Locale loaded.
    function () {
        // Do something.
    },
    // Locale not loaded.
    function () {
        // Do something else.
    })

getLocaleFromAcceptHeaders

Use this provider to get the locale of the current client through the request-headers helper from the API. The method is a promise that, if fullfilled, returns the detected locale, or either the first default one. You must at least provide the host in the config phase of your application:

getLocaleFromAcceptHeadersProvider.defaults.host = 'https://app.qipp.com'
getLocaleFromAcceptHeadersProvider.defaults.prefix = '/'
getLocaleFromAcceptHeadersProvider.defaults.locales: ['en_US', 'fr_FR']

getLocaleFromAcceptHeadersProvider().then(function (locale) {
    // Do something with the detected locale.
})

localizeStr

This provider could be used to localize a given element in a given scope, with the possibility to provide an update function and a filter. The attributes of the element must be passed as an argument:

// Localize title directive example.
.directive('localizeTitle', [
    'i18n', 'localizeStr',
    function (i18n, localizeStr) {
        return function (scope, elm, attrs) {
            return localizeStr(scope, elm, attrs, function (args) {
                attrs.$set('title', i18n(attrs.localizeTitle, args));
            });
        };
    }
]);
