Installation

Usage

The electron-i18n module has no dependencies and exports no functions. It is simply a large JSON object containing all of Electron's API docs and tutorial content, in every language.

Require the module in your code:

const i18n = require('electron-i18n')

i18n is an object with the following keys:

• electronLatestStableVersion is a string like 1.7.8
• electronLatestStableTag is a string like v1.7.8
• electronMasterBranchCommit is a git commit SHA string.
• docs - see #docs
• locales - see #locales
• website - see #website
• date is a timestamp

Docs

i18n.docs is an object with locale strings as keys:

Object.keys(i18n.docs)
[ 'en-US', 'fr-FR', 'vi-VN', 'ja-JP', 'zh-CN', '...']

Each locale object contains an object with doc HREFs as keys:

> Object.keys(i18n.docs['en-US'])

[
  '/docs/tutorial/about',
  '/docs/api/accelerator',
  '/docs/tutorial/accessibility',
  '/docs/api/app',
  '...'
]

Each doc object contains metadata and an HTML version of itself, ready to be rendered:

i18n.docs['en-US']['/docs/api/app']

{
  locale: 'en-US',
  slug: 'app',
  category: 'api',
  categoryFancy: 'API',
  href: '/docs/api/app',
