- Enables the implementation of text localization
- Supports NodeJs and amd

I.js is meant to be as simple and short as possible, and to support only scoped translations. Users who need more complex solutions (e.g. with support for pluralization; currencies; dates management), should look instead at other libraries (internationalization frameworks):
For a comparison with i18n-js library, please refer to the dedicated wiki page;
Either install using npm:
npm install ilocaleOr download one of these two files:

- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RobertoPrevato/I.js/master/source/i.min.js
If I.js is installed using npm package:
import I from "ilocale"
I.regional = {
"en": {
"voc": {
"Hi": "Hi"
}
}
}
I.setLocale("en");
I.t("voc.Hi"); // --> "Hi"The following example shows how to work with scoped translations, using I.js:
(function () {
//set the locale information:
I.regional = {
"en": {
"voc": {
"Hi": "Hi"
}
},
"it": {
"voc": {
"Hi": "Ciao"
}
},
"pl": {
"voc": {
"Hi": "Cześć"
}
}
};
I.setLocale("en");
I.t("voc.Hi"); // --> "Hi"
I.setLocale("it");
I.t("voc.Hi"); // --> "Ciao"
I.setLocale("pl");
I.t("voc.Hi"); // --> "Cześć"
})();The following example shows how to use simple templates:
(function () {
//set the locale information:
I.regional = {
"en": {
"voc": {
"HelloName": "Hello, {{name}}!"
}
},
"it": {
"voc": {
"HelloName": "Ciao, {{name}}!"
}
}
};
I.setLocale("en");
I.t("voc.HelloName"); // --> "Hello, {{name}}!"
I.t("voc.HelloName", {
name: "Edyta" // e.g. user.name
}); // --> "Hello, Edyta!"
I.setLocale("it");
I.t("voc.HelloName"); // --> "Ciao, {{name}}!"
I.t("voc.HelloName", {
name: "Edyta" // e.g. user.name
}); // --> "Ciao, Edyta!"
})();Please refer to the dedicated wiki page.
The following repositories contain examples of internationalization implemented using I.js:
Live demos:
When setting a locale using the function setLocale; a class to the document.body is also added accordingly.
