Introduction

This is a i18next backend to be used node.js. It will load resources from filesystem. Right now it supports following filetypes:

• .json
• .json5
• .yml

Getting started

Source can be loaded via npm.

$ npm install i18next-node-fs-backend

Wiring up:

var i18next = require('i18next');
var Backend = require('i18next-node-fs-backend');

i18next
  .use(Backend)
  .init(i18nextOptions);

As with all modules you can either pass the constructor function (class) to the i18next.use or a concrete instance.

Backend Options

{
  // path where resources get loaded from
  loadPath: '/locales/{{lng}}/{{ns}}.json',

  // path to post missing resources
  addPath: '/locales/{{lng}}/{{ns}}.missing.json',

  // jsonIndent to use when storing json files
  jsonIndent: 2
}

hint {{lng}}, {{ns}} use the same prefix, suffix you define in interpolation for translations!!!

Options can be passed in:

preferred - by setting options.backend in i18next.init:

var i18next = require('i18next');
var Backend = require('i18next-node-fs-backend');

i18next
  .use(Backend)
  .init({
    backend: options
  });

on construction:

var Backend = require('i18next-node-fs-backend');
var backend = new Backend(null, options);

by calling init:

var Backend = require('i18next-node-fs-backend');
var backend = new Backend();
backend.init(options);
