CSV Localization Library

Localization through CSV tables.

Getting Started

In this walkthrough, we'll be using Google Sheets as a tool.

Step 1 - Creating a Table

As you can see, a table with IDs in the first column, and languages in the first row should be created. This should be relatively easy to comprehend.

Step 2 - Save Table as .csv

Step 3 - Add csvll as Dependency

1. In your cargo.toml add

[dependencies]
// Assign latest version (Might not be the one saying)
csvll = "0.1.6"

2. In the command line run

cargo install

3. In your executable/library of choice

extern crate csvll;

use csvll::Manager;

Step 4 - Create Manager & Parse

Now we need a manager that parses the information for us

// The parameters are directory, filename & extension
// My file is located outside of the project
// FROM 0.1.6 on: No file extension needed anymore (As it is supposed to be csv)
let mut manag = Manager::new("..", "test_table");

// Then parse the file assigned
manag.parse();

Step 5 - Set Default Language

// (Code continues from earlier)
// Set your default language with any available language id
m.set_def(0);
// Get language reference & vector of word references as a tuple
let (lang, word_vec) = m.get_def();

Models

Language

id: i32,
name: String

// Initalizer
fn new(id: i32, name: &str) -> Language { /* ... */ }

Word

id: i32,
lang_id: i32,
val: String

// Initalizer
fn new(id: i32, lang_id: i32, val: &str) -> Word { /* ... */ }

Manager

file: File,
langs: Vec<Language>,
words: Vec<Word>,
def_lang: i32

// Initalizer
fn new(direc: &str, name: &str, ext: &str) -> Manager { /* ... */ }

// Further methods

// Parses languages & words into manager model
fn parse() { /* ... */ }

// Sets default language by language id
fn set_def(lang_id: i32) { /* ... */ }

// Returns reference to set def. language & vector of references to words of language
fn get_def() -> (&Language, Vec<&Word>) { /* ... */ }

// Returns references to word of current language at index
// Really works since 0.1.6.
fn get_word(word_id: i32) -> &Word { /* ... */ }

// Returns vector of references of words of current language at indicies
fn get_words(word_ids: Vec<i32>) -> Vec<&Word> { /* ... */ }
