@openremote/or-translate <or-translate>

Web Component for displaying a translated string based on the 18next library.

Install

npm i @openremote/or-translate
yarn add @openremote/or-translate

Usage

For a full list of properties, methods and options refer to the TypeDoc generated documentation.

For a full list of i18next functionality refer to that project's documentation.

If used in conjunction with @openremote/core and the Manager init method has been called then the i18next default export will be ready to use and would have been configured with the following settings:

• Language: en
• Fallback language: en
• Default Namespace: app
• Fallback namespace: or
• Available namespaces: ManagerConfig.loadTranslations
• OR Namespace path: managerURL + /shared/locales/{{lng}}/{{ns}}.json
• Namespace path: ManagerConfig.loadTranslations or fallback to locales/{{lng}}/{{ns}}.json

There is an or namespace which is used for OpenRemote related translations; apps can use any other namespace(s) it is recommended to use app as this is set as the default as described above. To translate a string use the following HTML:

<or-translate value="app:asset" />

If using the default namespace then the namespace prefix can be omitted:

<or-translate value="asset" />

It is also possible to pass an i18next.TOptions<i18next.InitOptions> object to the 18next.t method by setting the options attribute.

Translate mixin (dist/translate-mixin)

Exports a translate function/mixin that can be used by any web component to hook into the i18next initialized and languageChanged events; if the web component is a LitElement an update of the component will be automatically requested when either event fires; otherwise the initCallback and/or langChangedCallback should be overridden as required. For usage example see the or-translate source code.
