Apache KIE Tools i18n

This package provides a type-safe i18n library for a Typescript project.

Install

• npm install @kie-tools-core/i18n

Usage

The library is separated into two submodules:

• core All core functionalities, which includes the types, and the I18n class. to use the core: import * as I18nCore from "@kie-tools-core/i18n/dist/core"

• react-components

  All components and types necessaries to integrate on your React project.

  to use the React components: import * as I18nReact from "@kie-tools-core/i18n/dist/react-components"

Examples

• Typescript
• React

Core

Class

The core class I18n is under the core submodule "@kie-tools-core/i18n/dist/core".

• Constructor

defaults: I18nDefaults<D>
dictionaries: I18nDictionaries<D>
initialLocale?: string

If no initialLocale is provide the default locale will be used as initialLocale

• Available Methods

// Get the current locale
getLocale(): string

// Get the current dictionary
getCurrent(): D

// Set a new locale
setLocale(locale: string): void

Types

• ReferenceDictionary<D> The type of the default dictionary

• TranslatedDictionary<D> The type of any other dictionary that isn't the default.

• I18nDefaults<D> The type of the default configs to be used on the I18nDictionariesProvider component or I18n class.

interface I18nDefaults<D extends ReferenceDictionary<D>> {
  locale: string; // current locale
  dictionary: D; // default dictionary
}

• I18nDictionaries<D> The type of the dictionaries to be used on the I18nDictionariesProvider component or I18n class.

type I18nDictionaries<D extends ReferenceDictionary<D>> = Map<string, TranslatedDictionary<D>>;

React

Components

• <I18nDictionariesProvider> Provides your implementation of I18nContextType

• <I18nHtml> Renders a string with HTML tags

Be aware: the <I18nHtml> component uses the dangerouslySetInnerHTML prop.

Types

• I18nContextType<D> The context type use by <I18nDictionaryProvider>, provides an object with the following properties:

interface I18nContextType<D extends ReferenceDictionary<D>> {
  locale: string; // current locale
  setLocale: React.Dispatch<string>; // a function to set the desired locale
  i18n: D; // Dictionary
}

Apache KIE (incubating) is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the name of Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

Some of the incubating project’s releases may not be fully compliant with ASF policy. For example, releases may have incomplete or un-reviewed licensing conditions. What follows is a list of known issues the project is currently aware of (note that this list, by definition, is likely to be incomplete):

• Hibernate, an LGPL project, is being used. Hibernate is in the process of relicensing to ASL v2
• Some files, particularly test files, and those not supporting comments, may be missing the ASF Licensing Header

If you are planning to incorporate this work into your product/project, please be aware that you will need to conduct a thorough licensing review to determine the overall implications of including this work.
