@dnvgl/i18n
is a set of functions to support multiple languages/cultures in a browser or Node.js. There is no dependency on other libraries (exception: TypeScript when using definitions). It's built on the ECMAScript native solutions like for example Intl
API.
The purpose of this library is to provide all needed functionalities to support multiple languages/cultures in the web application. All functions have been designed to be simple and easy to use, that is why some native API are wrapped. This library was in use two years (commercial use by DNV company) before its open-source release (2021-04-13
).
The biggest advantage about the library is that it supports any language, using the culture of the browser.
- Chrome (+ mobile): last 2 versions
- Firefox (+ mobile): last 2 versions
- Safari (+ mobile): v14* or newer
- Edge: last 2 versions
There is a build-in function to check it: isBrowserCompatible()
.
* - formatCountry()
and formatCurrency()
require Safari 14.1 (desktop) or 14.5 (mobile)
- v14 or newer
Using npm:
npm install @dnvgl/i18n
Using yarn:
yarn add @dnvgl/i18n
Import functions or types from @dnvgl/i18n
, example:
import { sort, formatNumber } from '@dnvgl/i18n';
const sortedItems = sort(["Z", "a", "A", "z", "ś"], "asc", "pl-PL"); // returns ["a", "A", "ś", "z", "Z"]
const numberFormattedInSpecificCulture = formatNumber(12486.4529, { maxPrecision: 2 }, "de-DE"); // returns "12.486,45"
const numberFormattedInLocalCulture = formatNumber(12486.4529); // returns "12 486,4529" using local browser culture (in this case 'pl-PL'); any culture can be supported out of the box
Library supports esm
modules tree shaking by default.
Jest does not support esm
modules, and @dnvgl/i18n
uses them. In order to test your application with Jest you have to add the following to your package.json
:
"jest": {
"transformIgnorePatterns": [
"/node_modules/(?!@dnvgl/i18n)"
]
}
When there is another package that requires ES6 only then the pattern is:
"/node_modules/(?!(PACKAGE_1|PACKAGE_2))"
, e.g. "/node_modules/(?!(@dnvgl/i18n|another-package))"
Library provides a built-in ts definition.
