Loading locales from JS files over JSON

[mikey-mo]

Is it possible to load locale from JS over JSON? I'd rather not decouple key constants and pass strings around in the UI. JS files give me the ability to set key values as constants which can then be used in components w/o fear of typos, etc.

Anyone have any good suggestions? Thanks.

yes, you can use any format, you can import in your way using loadLocalesFrom config from i18n.js, the only thing is to return a Promise with the JSON:

{
  // ...rest of config
  "loadLocaleFrom": (lang, ns) =>
    // You can use a dynamic import, fetch, whatever. You should
    // return a Promise with the JSON file.
    import(`./locales/${lang}/${ns}.js`).then((m) => m.default),
}

Thanks for the reply -- just realized I should have put this in Discussions rather than Issues.
