Simple converter for "properties"-file type localization files to and from a JSON object. Includes support for arrays using ".0" or "$0" notation styles.
Install
npm install i18n-to-locfile --save
Or
yarn add i18n-to-locfile
And import the exposed methods, or the whole bundle
const { flatten, unflatten } = require('i18n-to-locfile');
The package exposes 2 methods, one for transforming JSON into a dotted property file, and the other way around. More detailed documentation is available Github Pages.
flatten(deepObject):flatObject
const { flatten, unflatten } = require('i18n-to-locfile');
const object = {
hello: 'world',
address: {
street: 'somestreet',
city: 'new york',
},
phone: [
'1-555-1234',
'1-555-2345',
],
};
const flatObject = flatten(object);
console.log(flatObject);Will return:
{
hello: 'world',
address.street: 'somestreet',
address.city: 'newyork',
phone$0: '1-555-1234',
phone$1: '1-555-2345',
}
unflatten(flatObject):deepObject
To go the other way:
console.log(unflatten(flatObject));Will return the original object:
{
hello: 'world',
address: {
street: 'somestreet',
city: 'new york',
},
phone: [
'1-555-1234',
'1-555-2345',
],
}
