Kalemah - كَلِمة

😄 Kalemah in arabic means "word"

Get Started

npm install kalemah

yarn add kalemah

pnpm add kalemah

Initializing new document

Kalemah gives you the possibility to have more than one document and each document can hold mutual or different localizations with different options

import { Doc } from "kalemah";

const doc = new Doc({
  default: "en",
  localizations: [
    {
      name: "en", // must be unique
      content: {
        title: "Hello World",
        country: {
          name: "Saudi Arabia",
          capital: "Makkah",
          more: {
            name: "More {{category}}",
          },
        },
      },
    },
    {
      name: "ar", // must be unique
      content: {
        title: "مرحبا بالعالم",
        country: {
          name: "السعودية",
          capital: "مكة المكرمة",
          more: {
            name: "المزيد {{category}}",
          },
        },
      },
    },
  ],
});

💡
By the way, you can create limitless number of documents. LIMITLESS!
let me show you how...

import { Doc } from "kalemah";

const doc = new Doc({
  key: "en-fr-doc", // this will be a completely separate document from the default one
  localizations: [
    {
      name: "en", // must be unique (no worries if you're using it in anther document)
      content: {...}
    },
    {
      name: "fr", // must be unique
      content: {...}
    }
  ],
});

✨ I encourage you to dig deeper into the library to understand it better, and for more info about what each property exactly does, you can just hover on it

🍄 kindly consider that some of the properties are not meant to have direct impact on your application yet
some properties are designed to be used later to help in scaling the library for future purposes (stay tuned). ❤️

🌪️ Translation

let's go over the second method that the library provides for you to interact with the documents.

basic referencing

import { kalemah } from "kalemah";
const { k } = kalemah(/* doc_id */);

// flat
const msg = k("title");

// dot notation referencing
const msg = k("key.sub1.sub2");

// bracket notation referencing
const msg = k("key.sub1['sub2']");

// array index
const msg = k("country['cities']['0'].name");

// conditional & mixed
const msg = k(`country.${true ? "more" : ""}['names']['0']`);

Interpolation

allows you to change any key surrounded by {{dynamic_key}}

prefix: {{
suffix: }}
> the key must be in between

import { kalemah } from "kalemah";
const { k } = kalemah(/* doc_id */);

// { key: "{{country_name}} is where I'm from" }

const msg = k("key", {
  country_name: "Egypt",
  // the other dynamic keys go here...
});
// result: Egypt is where I'm from

kalemah() -> refers to the default document
kalemah(doc_id) -> if you have a document with an especial "key"

changeLanguage(local_name)

changes the active localization for the target doc

import { kalemah } from "kalemah";
const { changeLanguage } = kalemah(/* doc_id */);

changeLanguage("local_name");

activeContent()

Returns the active localization content for the target doc

import { kalemah } from "kalemah";
const { activeContent } = kalemah(/* doc_id */);

const content = activeContent();

activeName()

Returns The active localization name for the target doc

import { kalemah } from "kalemah";
const { activeName } = kalemah(/* doc_id */);

const name = activeName();

getLocalization()

Returns the whole object of a localization in the target doc

import { kalemah } from "kalemah";
const { getLocalization } = kalemah(/* doc_id */);

const local = getLocalization(); // without local_name it will return the active localization
const arLocal = getLocalization("ar"); // the arabic localization, even if it's not the active one

getLocalizations()

Returns (All) the localizations in the target doc

import { kalemah } from "kalemah";
const { getLocalizations } = kalemah(/* doc_id */);

const locals = getLocalizations();

contents()

Returns all the localizations content in the target doc

import { kalemah } from "kalemah";
const { contents } = kalemah(/* doc_id */);

const contents = contents();

getKey()

Gets the value of a key in a localization content or in the active localization content (in the target doc).

import { kalemah } from "kalemah";
const { getKey } = kalemah(/* doc_id */);

const key = getKey("country['cities']['0'].name", "local_name");

// search in the active localization directly
const key2 = getKey("country['cities']['0'].name");

exists(prop_path?)

Check if the path exists in the active localization content.

import { kalemah } from "kalemah";
const { exists } = kalemah(/* doc_id */);

if (exists("country.code")) {
  // ...
}

dir(local_name?)

Returns the direction of the localization

import { kalemah } from "kalemah";
const { dir } = kalemah(/* doc_id */);

dir(); // active localization direction
dir("en"); // ltr
dir("ar"); // rtl
