ember-best-language

3.0.0 • Public • Published


A FastBoot-enabled addon to detect the best language for your user.

Installation

$ ember install ember-best-language

How does it work?

ember-best-language uses a scoring system to determine the best language to use. The scoring system is based on the Accept-Language header on the FastBoot-side. On the client side, we use navigator.languages and give a score to each language based on its order in the array.

ember-best-language also split language code from country code to make sure that if the user reads fr-CA and your system supports fr, you will have a match.

This addon is inspired by the work of Rémi Prévost in plug_best, you should check it out!

Usage

ember-best-language provides a service with two methods:

  • bestLanguage
  • bestLanguageOrFirst

To find out which language is the best one to use among a list of supported languages:

import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
import {inject as service} from '@ember/service';

export default class extends Route {
  @service('best-language') bestLanguage;

  beforeModel() {
    const bestLanguage = this.bestLanguage.bestLanguage(['en-US', 'fr']);
    // => {language: 'en-US', baseLanguage: 'en', score: 1}
  }
});

If none of the user’s languages are supported, ember-best-language will return null. However, you can use the bestLanguageOrFirst method to make it return the first supported language in those cases.

import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
import {inject as service} from '@ember/service';

export default class extends Route {
  @service('best-language') bestLanguage;

  beforeModel() {
    const bestLanguage = this.bestLanguage.bestLanguage(['fr', 'de', 'en-US']);
    // => null

    const bestLanguageOrFirst = this.bestLanguage.bestLanguageOrFirst(['fr', 'de', 'en-US']);
    // => {language: 'fr', baseLanguage: 'fr', score: 0}
  }
});
