connect-gettext

Lightweight implementation of gettext as connect middleware.

Install

$ npm install --save connect-gettext

Usage

Use with any middleware that sets req.lang - such as detect-language and/or overwrite-language.

var app = require('express');

var locale = {
  supportedLanguages: ['de', 'fr', 'pl', 'en-GB', 'en-US'],
  defaultLanguage: 'en',
  gettextAlias: '_'
};

// use any middleware that sets req.lang
// `detect-language` is just an example
app.use(require('detect-language')(locale));


app.use(require('connect-gettext')(locale));

Once the middleware is applied res.locals.gettext will have gettext implementation inserted and res.render will be able to use it when rendering pages.
