@i18n-micro/core

@i18n-micro/core is the core module for handling translations, routing, and formatting in a Nuxt.js application. It provides utilities for managing translations, interpolating placeholders, formatting numbers, dates, and relative times, and handling locale-specific routing. This module is designed to work seamlessly with nuxt-i18n-micro and its associated utilities.

Installation

You can install @i18n-micro/core using npm or yarn:

npm install @i18n-micro/core

or

yarn add @i18n-micro/core

BaseI18n.extend

Attach framework-specific helpers onto any i18n instance (used by @i18n-micro/vitepress for path methods):

i18n.extend({
  localizePath(path: string, locale: string) {
    /* … */
  },
})

Usage

This package provides several utilities for managing translations, formatting, and routing:

  1. useTranslationHelper: A helper for managing translations, including loading, caching, and retrieving translations.
  2. interpolate: A utility for interpolating placeholders in translation strings with dynamic values.
  3. FormatService: A service for formatting numbers, dates, and relative times.
  4. RouteService: A service for handling locale-specific routing and route localization.

Example

Here’s an example of how you might use these utilities in your Nuxt.js project:

import { useTranslationHelper, interpolate, FormatService, RouteService } from '@i18n-micro/core'

// Initialize the translation helper
const translationHelper = useTranslationHelper()

// Load translations for a specific locale
translationHelper.loadTranslations('en', {
  greeting: 'Hello, {name}!',
  nested: {
    message: 'This is a nested message.',
  },
})

// Load page-specific translations for a specific locale
translationHelper.loadPageTranslations('en', 'home', {
  welcome: 'Welcome to the home page!',
})

// Retrieve a translation for a specific locale
const greeting = translationHelper.getTranslation<string>('en', 'index', 'greeting')
console.log(greeting) // 'Hello, {name}!'

// Interpolate placeholders
const interpolatedGreeting = interpolate(greeting!, { name: 'John' })
console.log(interpolatedGreeting) // 'Hello, John!'

// Format numbers, dates, and relative times
const formatService = new FormatService()
const formattedNumber = formatService.formatNumber(123456.789, 'en-US')
const formattedDate = formatService.formatDate(new Date(), 'en-US')
const formattedRelativeTime = formatService.formatRelativeTime(new Date(), 'en-US')

console.log(formattedNumber) // '123,456.789'
console.log(formattedDate) // '10/5/2023'
console.log(formattedRelativeTime) // 'just now'

// Handle locale-specific routing
const routeService = new RouteService(i18nConfig, router, hashLocaleDefault, noPrefixDefault, navigateTo, setCookie)

const localizedRoute = routeService.getLocalizedRoute('/about', currentRoute, 'en')
console.log(localizedRoute) // Localized route object

API Reference

useTranslationHelper

Methods
  • hasCache(locale: string, page: string): boolean: Checks if translations for a specific route and locale are cached.
  • getCache(locale: string, routeName: string): Map<string, Translations | unknown> | undefined: Retrieves the cache for a specific route and locale.
  • setCache(locale: string, routeName: string, cache: Map<string, unknown>): void: Installs a sparse leaf lookup map for a chunk (does not flatten or replace the nested tree).
  • mergeTranslation(locale: string, routeName: string, newTranslations: Translations, force = false): void: Merges new translations into the cache for a specific route and locale.
  • hasPageTranslation(locale: string, routeName: string): boolean: Checks if translations for a specific route and locale are loaded.
  • hasTranslation(locale: string, key: string): boolean: Checks if a translation exists for the given key and locale.
  • getTranslation<T = unknown>(locale: string, routeName: string, key: string): T | null: Retrieves a translation for the given key, route, and locale.
  • loadPageTranslations(locale: string, routeName: string, translations: Translations): Promise<void>: Loads translations for a specific route and locale.
  • loadTranslations(locale: string, translations: Translations): Promise<void>: Loads global translations for the specified locale.

interpolate

Function
interpolate(template: string, params: Params): string
  • template: The translation string with placeholders (e.g., 'Hello, {name}!').
  • params: An object containing key-value pairs for interpolation (e.g., { name: 'John' }).
Example
const result = interpolate('Hello, {name}!', { name: 'John' })
console.log(result) // 'Hello, John!'

FormatService

Methods
  • formatNumber(value: number, locale: string, options?: Intl.NumberFormatOptions): string: Formats a number according to the specified locale and options.
  • formatDate(value: Date | number | string, locale: string, options?: Intl.DateTimeFormatOptions): string: Formats a date according to the specified locale and options.
  • formatRelativeTime(value: Date | number | string, locale: string, options?: Intl.RelativeTimeFormatOptions): string: Formats a relative time (e.g., "2 hours ago") according to the specified locale and options.

RouteService

Methods
  • getCurrentLocale(route?: RouteLocationNormalizedLoaded | RouteLocationResolvedGeneric): string: Returns the current locale based on the route or configuration.
  • getCurrentName(route: RouteLocationNormalizedLoaded | RouteLocationResolvedGeneric): string | null: Returns the display name of the current locale.
  • getRouteName(route: RouteLocationNormalizedLoaded | RouteLocationResolvedGeneric, locale: string): string: Returns the route name without the locale suffix.
  • getFullPathWithBaseUrl(currentLocale: Locale, route: RouteLocationRaw): string: Returns the full path with the base URL for the specified locale.
  • switchLocaleRoute(fromLocale: string, toLocale: string, route: RouteLocationNormalizedLoaded | RouteLocationResolvedGeneric, i18nRouteParams: I18nRouteParams): RouteLocationRaw: Switches the locale for the specified route.
  • getLocalizedRoute(to: RouteLocationAsString | RouteLocationAsRelative | RouteLocationAsPath, route: RouteLocationNormalizedLoaded, locale?: string): RouteLocationResolved: Returns a localized route for the specified locale.
  • updateCookies(toLocale: string): void: Updates cookies with the new locale.
  • getCurrentRoute(): RouteLocationNormalizedLoaded: Returns the current route.
  • switchLocaleLogic(toLocale: string, i18nRouteParams: I18nRouteParams, route?: RouteLocationNormalizedLoaded | RouteLocationResolvedGeneric | string): Handles the logic for switching locales and navigating to the new route.
  • resolveLocalizedRoute(to: RouteLocationAsString | RouteLocationAsRelative | RouteLocationAsPath | string, locale?: string): RouteLocationResolved: Resolves a localized route for the specified locale.
