Guides & Tips
Lisan (Turkish: lee · sun) is an i18n (internationalization) library.
It provides all essential tooling to have multiple languages in your applications and format numbers, currencies, ordinals & dates based on locale.
Lisan's biggest difference compared to traditional i18n libraries is taking advantage of ES6 Template Literals and using them to generate functions to interpolate strings.
Most of the i18n libraries are based on some sort of template engine to interpolate strings and these template engines use regex or loops under the hood to find & replace the placeholders.
However, using regex lookups or javascript loops decreases the performance significantly (especially on client-side) since find & replace is being done on runtime.
Lisan adds an extra step to CI, but a giant performance gain to app kind!
Lisan introduces a Dictionary concept where a dictionary entry can be either just a string or a javascript function that interpolates placeholders and returns a string. Since there is no need finding & replacing placeholder templates, we can avoid using regex or loops.
It is that simple.
Of course, maintaining javascript files to store translations could be challenging and not ideal. Especially when using third-party software like transifex or crowdin.
That's why Lisan also provides a compiler and a command line tool to generate Dictionary objects from Translation JSON files. Dictionary objects are saved in javascript files.
Also, you can use existing plugins or write your plugins to extend the capabilities of Lisan.
