Nuxt I18n Micro Test Utils

Nuxt unit-test mocks for useI18n() — translations, locale state, and lightweight path stubs. Pair with @nuxt/test-utils + Vitest.

Features

• setupNuxtI18nMock — one-call isolated harness + beforeEach reseed (keep mockNuxtImport in your setup file)
• createFakeI18n / createIsolatedFakeI18n — useI18n()-shaped object ($t / t, helper, optional vi.fn spies)
• Factory options — locales, translations, messages, strategy, …
• resetI18n — clear the shared dictionary cache between tests
• Translation helpers — t, tc, ts, mergeTranslations, resolveTranslations, setTranslation
• Path stubs — localePath / switchLocalePath (prefix strategies; does not mutate locale)

Installation

npm install @i18n-micro/test-utils --save-dev

Quick setup

// tests/unit-setup.ts
import { setupNuxtI18nMock } from '@i18n-micro/test-utils'
import { mockNuxtImport } from '@nuxt/test-utils/runtime'
import { beforeEach, vi } from 'vitest'

const { i18n, useI18n, setTranslationsFromJson } = setupNuxtI18nMock({
  spy: vi.fn,
  beforeEach,
})

mockNuxtImport('useI18n', () => useI18n)

export { i18n, setTranslationsFromJson }

Load dictionaries in a test:

await setTranslationsFromJson('en', { welcome: 'Welcome' })
expect(i18n.$t('welcome')).toBe('Welcome')
expect(i18n.$localePath('/about')).toBe('/en/about')
expect(i18n.$switchLocalePath('de')).toBe('/de/about')
expect(i18n.$getLocale()).toBe('en') // switchLocalePath does not change locale
