Ejs

To enable ejs support make use of the viewEngine option inside your I18nModule.

src/app.module.ts

  I18nModule.forRoot({
    fallbackLanguage: 'en',
    loaders: [
      new I18nJsonLoader({
        path: path.join(__dirname, '/i18n/'),
      }),
    ],
+   viewEngine: 'ejs'
  })

Example usage

Let's try to do some translations with pug templates.

src/i18n/en/test.json

{
  "HELLO": "Hello {username}"
}

src/app.controller.ts

@Controller('Test')
export class TestController {
  @Get('/')
  @Render('page')
  index(): any {
    return { username: 'some-name' };
  }
}

src/view/page.hbs

<h1><%= t('test.HELLO', i18nLang, { username }) -%></h1>

caution

The second parameter i18nLang is the current language. There is no way of passing this to @softkit/i18n automatically. So you have to pass it manually.

tip

The third argument is optional. This is only needed if you want to pass along arguments to your translations.
