Wet-boew: How to append to i18nDict before plugins are loaded?

Created on 9 Jan 2020 · 7Comments · Source: wet-boew/wet-boew

I have the following en.js in my project to extend your i18n text but the strings are only appended to the WET dictionary after all is loaded which is a problem. How could I get it to load before all plugins? How do I use the mixin feature to inject an int?

$(document).on("wb-ready.wb",` function (event) {

    if (document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0].getAttribute("lang") !== "en")
        return;

    wb.i18nDict["sectContainsError"] = "This section contains 1 error.";
    wb.i18nDict["sectContainsErrors"] = { mixin: "This section contains [MIXIN] errors." };
});

A such global extend do not currently exist in the wet-boew core.

Usually, the i18n can be extended at the plugin level. But I will need to know what plugin you are trying to customize because some plugin might not support it yet.

What is your use case?

Are looking to do a global override because the current translation is wrong? If so, it is possible to make change to the i18n global string.

I created a new form validation plugin that goes a step further than yours. I have new strings I'd like to add to the existing WET i18n dictionary so I can use WET's dictionary natively and if needed re-use my new strings elsewhere. Just trying to re-use/extend what's already there.

I looked at the wet core code, and I think you can do it the first time the timerpoke is triggered on the form validation or another plugin.

May be something like:

$(".wb-frmvld").one("timerpoke.wb",` function (event) {
 if (document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0].getAttribute("lang") !== "en")
        return;

    wb.i18nDict["sectContainsError"] = "This section contains 1 error.";
    wb.i18nDict["sectContainsErrors"] = { mixin: "This section contains [MIXIN] errors." };
});

An alternative would be to let the wb core to trigger an event or to call a callback immediately after the dictionary is loaded https://github.com/wet-boew/wet-boew/blob/master/src/core/wb.js#L608
