Generate typescript code from locale keys JSON.
tlk codegen [INPUT_JSON_FILE] --output [DESTINATION_DIRECTORY]
Add to scripts
// package.json
{
"scripts": {
"pretest": "tlk codegen [ENTRY-DIRECTORY]/messages_en.json -o [OUTPUT-DIRECTORY]"
}
}
const localeKeys = LocaleKeys(i18nConf.t.bind(i18nConf));
default is double curly braces. To use single mode pass:
$ tlk codegen --singleCurlyBraces
or setting in configuration
package.json
:
// package.json
{
"typedLocaleKeys": {
"singleCurlyBraces" : true //optional field. default is false
}
}
input: messages_en.json
:
{
"common": {
"loggedIn": {
"message": "Hey, {{username}}, you have successfully logged in!"
}
},
"readingWarning": "{{reader}} reads message from {{writer}}"
}
output:
/* eslint-disable */
/* tslint:disable */
export function LocaleKeys<R extends string>(t: (...args: unknown[]) => R) {
return {
common: {
loggedIn: {
message: (data: Record<'username', unknown>) => t('common.loggedIn.message', data),
},
},
readingWarning: (data: Record<'reader' | 'writer', unknown>) => t('readingWarning', data),
};
}
export type ILocaleKeys = ReturnType<typeof LocaleKeys>;
output with React Hook:
/* eslint-disable */
/* tslint:disable */
import React from 'react';
export function LocaleKeys<R extends string>(t: (...args: unknown[]) => R) {
return {
common: {
loggedIn: {
message: (data: Record<'username', unknown>) => t('common.loggedIn.message', data),
},
},
readingWarning: (data: Record<'reader' | 'writer', unknown>) => t('readingWarning', data),
};
}
export type ILocaleKeys = ReturnType<typeof LocaleKeys>;
const LocaleKeysContext = React.createContext({} as ILocaleKeys);
export const LocaleKeysProvider: React.FC<{ translateFn?: (...args: unknown[]) => string; localeKeys?: ILocaleKeys }> = ({ translateFn, localeKeys, children }) => {
if (!translateFn && !localeKeys) { throw new Error('Either translateFn or localeKeys must be provided') }
const value = (typeof translateFn === 'function' ? LocaleKeys(translateFn) : localeKeys) as ILocaleKeys
return <LocaleKeysContext.Provider value={value}>{children}</LocaleKeysContext.Provider>;
};
export const useLocaleKeys = () => React.useContext(LocaleKeysContext);
To read the configuration file cosmiconfig is used so it supports files like
.typedlocalekeysrc.json
, typedlocalekeys.config.js
, package.json
etc.:
{
"typedLocaleKeys": {
"entries": {
"GalleryKeys": {
"source": "./locale/messages_en.json",
"output": "./dist/gallery"
},
"CommonKeys": "./locale/sub/messages_en.json" // for source only
},
"primaryOutput": "./dist", // fallback output (after cli's `--output` fallback)
"singleCurlyBraces" : false //optional field. default is false
"reactHook": false //optional field. default is false
}
}
