i18n-config

Language Config Library in Angular 5+

This library use @ngx-translate dependencies and its own service to manage the translations in the language selects that can be by configuration and in case it is not configured by default the language of the browser.

This library works in Angular 5+

if you use npm >= 5.0.0 must install @ngx-translate dependencies manually with:

$ npm install @ngx-translate/core
$ npm install @ngx-translate/http-loader

Instructions to install and configure

From NPM (Stable version)

$ npm install i18n-config --save

and then from your Angular AppModule:

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
// Import our library
import { I18nConfigModule } from 'i18n-config';
 
@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    // Specify my library as an import
    I18nConfigModule.forRoot() // to load default values ['en', 'es'], 'es'
    // OR assign we want values (we must add langcode.json files in src/assets!!!)
    I18nConfigModule.forRoot(['es', 'ca', 'pt', 'eu', 'en'], 'es')
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
  })
export class AppModule { }

then from your Angular AppComponent to use I18nConfigService to load translate files:

import { I18nConfigService } from 'i18n-config';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  constructor(private langService: I18nConfigService) {}
}

If you select want language:

import { I18nConfigService } from 'i18n-config';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  constructor(private langService: I18nConfigService) {
    langService.useSelectLanguage('es'); //Load spanish language although i select from config basque
  }
}

Finally, we must add the translation files to the correct directory, which will be in src/assets/i18n/language-code.json. For example for Spanish, we must add the file src/assets/i18n/es.json.

How to use it in the template?

Now having all this correctly configured, we visualize it in the layout making use of Pipe 'translate'

{{ 'label' | translate}}

'label' is a one value that load from .json
