How to Use

Initialize

var Local = require('local')
var local = new Local()

Set

API

local
.set($originValue)
.to($translatedValue)
.in($language)
.then($successCallback) 
.catch($errorCallback)

Example

local
.set('hello')
.to('hola')
.in('spanish')
.then(function(value){
    console.log(value)
}) // one result argument
.catch(function(error){
    console.error(error)
}) // one error argument

Get

API

local.get($query).in($language)

Example

local.get('hello').in('spanish') // -> hola

Locale

API

var locale = local.locale($language)
    locale($query).then($successCallback).catch($errorCallback)

Example

var spanish = local.locale('spanish')
 
spanish('hello').then(function(value){ 
    console.log(value)  // -> hola
    
}).catch(function(error){
    console.error(error)
}) 
     

Storage

Defaults

// memory
var local = new Local() 
 
// fileSystem
var local = new Local()
local.storeTo('fileSystem', '/your/custom/path/local.json')

Custom Storage

// custom storage driver
function storageDriver(Local, options, finish){
    var error = null
    var memory = Local.memory
    var storage = Local.storage('customStorage')
    
    storage.getter(function(parent, query, language, translation, done){
        // ...
    })
    
    storage.setter(function(parent, query, language, done){
        // ...
    })
        
    finish(error, memory)
}
 
// initialize
var local = new Local()
 
// load the new driver into this local instance
local.storeTo(storageDriver)
