A loader for ngx-translate that loads translations using http.
Get the complete changelog here: https://github.com/ngx-translate/http-loader/releases
We assume that you already installed ngx-translate.
Now you need to install the npm module for TranslateHttpLoader
:
npm install @ngx-translate/http-loader --save
NB: if you're still on Angular <4.3, please use Http from @angular/http with http-loader@0.1.0.
The TranslateHttpLoader
uses HttpClient to load translations, which means that you have to import the HttpClientModule from @angular/common/http
before the TranslateModule
:
import {NgModule} from '@angular/core'; import {BrowserModule} from '@angular/platform-browser'; import {HttpClientModule, HttpClient} from '@angular/common/http'; import {TranslateModule, TranslateLoader} from '@ngx-translate/core'; import {TranslateHttpLoader} from '@ngx-translate/http-loader'; import {AppComponent} from "./app"; // AoT requires an exported function for factories export function HttpLoaderFactory(http: HttpClient) { return new TranslateHttpLoader(http); } @NgModule({ imports: [ BrowserModule, HttpClientModule, TranslateModule.forRoot({ loader: { provide: TranslateLoader, useFactory: HttpLoaderFactory, deps: [HttpClient] } }) ], bootstrap: [AppComponent] }) export class AppModule { }
The TranslateHttpLoader
also has two optional parameters:
- prefix: string = "/assets/i18n/"
- suffix: string = ".json"
By using those default parameters, it will load your translations files for the lang "en" from: /assets/i18n/en.json
.
You can change those in the HttpLoaderFactory
method that we just defined. For example if you want to load the "en" translations from /public/lang-files/en-lang.json
you would use:
export function HttpLoaderFactory(http: HttpClient) { return new TranslateHttpLoader(http, "/public/lang-files/", "-lang.json"); }
For now this loader only support the json format.
