Angular 7 - Switching between imports












0















Below is a Service I've made that should switch between the imports en or de depending on the param lang.



If I use lang as it is I just prints this.phrases as {0: "d", 1: "e"} instead of what it should be.



Is this possible?



import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import en from '../locale/en';
import de from '../locale/de';

@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
export class TranslateService {
phrases: any = {};

constructor() { }

use(lang: string) {

this.phrases = Object.assign({}, lang || {});
return this.phrases;
}
}


if this service was called using this.translateService.use('en') I'd expect it to return the content from en import.



if it were this.translateService.use('de') then I'd expect to have de content returned.



../locale/de



export default {
"CONTINUE": "fortsetzen",
"HELLO": "Halo {{value}}",
"Email address": "E-Mail-Addresse"
}


I have been able to get this working by doing



import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import en from '../locale/en';
import de from '../locale/de';

@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
export class TranslateService {
phrases: any = {};
constructor() { }

use(lang: string) {
let locale;
switch(lang) {
case 'de':
locale = de;
break;
default:
locale = en;
break;
}
this.phrases = Object.assign({}, locale || {});
return this.phrases;
}
}


But I hoped there was a cleaner approach

  • It's not really clear what you're asking. It would be great if you could provide a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example. You can use StackBlitz to create one.

  • lang || {} will always return lang if it is not null, undefined or an empty string

  • This doesn't feel like the way to do localization... But it is far from certain what are in your imported components / classes/ resources?

  • I have added what locale/de.ts is

  • Maybe try using the ngx-translate library? It is what I used for my project and it works pretty nicely. My best advice is don't try to reinvent something unless all your options are crap.
