React translate

Uses the @ewb/translate library in the background to translate words and texts.
Can be used in combination with @ewb/translate-minify in production.

yarn add @ewb/react-translate

npm install -s @ewb/react-translate

Setup

import reactTranslate, { handleNoMatch, handleNoTranslation } from '@ewb/react-translate';
import words from './words.json.js';
import texts from './texts.json.js';

const Translate = reactTranslate({
  fileServerURL: 'http://localhost:7345',
  locales: {
    // Key with typeof ISO-639-1
    nb: { label: 'Norwegian', googleLocale: 'no' },
    sv: { label: 'Swedish' }
  },
  googleAPIKey: '...',
  apiServer: '...' // API Server
});

const translate = new Translate({
    defaultLocale: 'en',
    locale: 'no',
    words: words,
    texts: texts,
    noWord: handleNoWord,
    noTranslation: handleNoTranslation
})

export default translate;

Files

words.json & texts.json file needs to contain {} to load correctly.

Live edit server

You also need to start a server in development environment.

DIST=%PATH% PORT=$PORT$ node node_modules/@ewb/react-translate/server

This server will save 2 files words.json and texts.json when you add translations in the front-end.
PATH is default src/translate
PORT is default 7345 (TRAS)

Translate

translate.word('Word') // "Ord"
translate.text('This is a sentence') // "Dette er en setning"
translate.text('Text with {{var}}', { var: 'variable' }) // "Tekst med variable"

API Server

Currently working on translation server that can be connected. Will fetch translation automatically and give options if found multiple
Send me a message if you want to try it out. I want to build the translation, but have som kinks to work out.

Production

See folder setup on github on how to setup the development and production loading of packages.

You dont need handleNoMatch and handleNoTranslation function in production mode. App will not crash if there is no translation. Only give you N/W or N/T of not found.

You can also skip TranslateSpawn
