i18n-merge

Merge together objects according to their languages

Methods

.merge({source}, [languages], options);

source

The source object to be transformed must include an i18n field, with the following schema:

{
    ...
    "i18n": [
        {
            ...
            "language": {
                "code": "en",  // two letter language code
                "region": "GB" // iso8601 region code
            },
            ...
        },
        ...
    ],
    ...
}

The source can either be a single object or an array of objects.

languages

The languages array should be an array of objects with the following schema:

[
    {
        "code": "en",
        "region": "GB",
        "quality": 1.0
    }
]

(the accept-language-parser module can break apart an accept language string and return it in the correct format)

options

The options object can consist of any of the following:

{
    fnI18nLocator: function(source) //get the i18n array out of the source object, defaults to returning i18n
    fnLanguageLocator: function(i18nSource) //get the language out of the i18n object. Defaults to returning language
    fnPostMerge: function(source, mergedI18n) //what to do with the merged object, defaults to replaceing the i18n array
    autoLanguageFallback: bool //should we fallback to parent languages (en-US -> en) automatically, defaults to true
}

By overriding the optional functions this module should be able to work with most structures

installation

npm install i18n-merge

usage

var i18n = require('i18n-merge');

var testObj = {
    commonField: "tt",
    I18n: [
        {
            Name: "us name",
            ukval: null,
            Language: {
                Code: "en",
                Region: "US"
            }
        },
        {
            Name: "uk name",
            ukval: "uk",
            Language: {
                Code: "en",
                Region: "GB"
            }
        },
        {
            Name: "common de",
            commonVal: "common",
            Language: {
                Code: "de",
                Region: null
            }
        },
        {
            Name: "specific de",
            Language: {
                Code: "de",
                Region: 'DE'
            }
        },
        {
            Name: "common fr",
            Language: {
                Code: "fr",
                Region: null
            }
        }
    ]
};

var languages = [
    { code: "En", region: "Us", quality: 0.9 }
];

i18n.merge(testObj, languages);
console.dir(testObj);
