i18n-nbsp

Automatically adds non-breaking spaces after prepositions, conjunctions, and other short words in i18n JSON files.

Usage

Check files:

i18n-nbsp --check ./locales

Fix files:

i18n-nbsp --fix ./locales

Custom config:

i18n-nbsp --config ./my-config.json --fix ./locales

Configuration

Default settings:

• Locales path: ./public/locales (common for most projects)
• Supported languages: German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian
• Full list of patterns: See i18n-nbsp.config.json

Note: English is intentionally not included by default as non-breaking spaces are not commonly used in English typography. If you need English support, add it to your config: "en": ["a", "an", "the", "to", "of", "in", "at", "on", "for"]

To customize, create i18n-nbsp.config.json:

{
  "localesPath": "./public/locales",
  "patterns": {
    "es": ["el", "la", "de", "a", "en"],
    "ru": ["в", "на", "с", "и", "или"]
  }
}

Custom Languages

You can add support for any custom language by adding it to the configuration:

{
  "localesPath": "./public/locales",
  "patterns": {
    "es": ["el", "la", "de"],
    "your-custom-lang": ["word1", "word2"]
  }
}

Disabling Languages

To disable processing for specific languages, set them to null:

{
  "patterns": {
    "de": null
  }
}

This will completely skip processing for German files, even if they are present in your locales directory.

Note: If you're adding patterns for a commonly used language, please consider contributing them back to the project by opening a Pull Request. Your contribution will help other developers!
