Centralized list of available languages + dialects.
npm install @narando/languagesCentralized list of available languages + dialects.
You need to have nodejs and npm installed.
``bash`
$ npm install @narando/languages
Currently this module only exports two constant Objects LanguageCodes and Languages.
LanguageCodes is a reference object for language short codes.
`javascript
import { LanguageCodes } from "@narando/languages";
LanguageCodes.de_DE; // => "de_DE"
LanguageCodes["de_DE"]; // => "de_DE"
`
To get a list of available shortcodes use Object.keys:
`javascript`
Object.keys(LanguageCodes); // => ["de_DE", "en_GB", "en_US", ...]
Languages contains the actual Language details. It is an object and the shortcodes are the properties.
`javascript
import { Languages } from "@narando/languages";
Languages.de_DE;
/* => {
* name: "German (Germany)",
* shortCode: "de_DE",
* dialects: [
* "Bairisch",
* "Sächsisch",
* ...
* ]
* }
*/
}
`
Some more useful functions
In case you are trying to fill a selectpicker or something comparable.
It could be usefull to get the language object with a selected flag.
`javascript
import { Utils } from "@narnado/languages";
res.locals.languages = Utils.getLanguagesWithSelection("es-419");
// The function returns a list with all languages.
// es-419 is the only language with a selected=true
`
In case you want to get the language object but want to get the translated language names.
The languages are available in English (US) und German (Germany). More languages will be added in the future.
`javascript
import { Utils } from "@narnado/languages";
res.locals.languages = Utils.translateLanguages("de-DE");
// example: de-DE is now Deutsch (Deutschland)
