About

@necord/localization is a lightweight localization module for Necord. It allows you to easily localize your bot's commands and messages. The module provides a simple API for managing locales and translations, as well as a powerful localization adapter system.

Installation

Node.js 16.6.0 or newer is required.

$ npm i @necord/localization necord discord.js
$ yarn add @necord/localization necord discord.js
$ pnpm add @necord/localization necord discord.js

Usage

Once the installation process is complete, we can import the NecordLocalizationModule with your NecordModule into the root AppModule:

import { NecordModule } from 'necord';
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { NecordLocalizationModule, DefaultLocalizationAdapter, UserResolver } from '@necord/localization';
import { AppService } from './app.service';

@Module({
    imports: [
        NecordModule.forRoot({
            token: process.env.DISCORD_TOKEN,
            intents: [
                IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds,
                IntentsBitField.Flags.DirectMessages,
                IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMembers,
                IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessages,
                IntentsBitField.Flags.MessageContent
            ],
            prefix: '!',
            development: [process.env.DISCORD_TEST_GUILD]
        }),
        NecordLocalizationModule.forRoot({
            resolvers: UserResolver,
            // Also you can provide class for support injection by @Inject
            adapter: new DefaultLocalizationAdapter({
                fallbackLocale: 'en-US',
                locales: {
                    'en-US': {
                        'commands.ping.name': 'ping',
                        'commands.ping.description': 'Pong!'
                    },
                    ru: {
                        'commands.ping.name': 'пинг',
                        'commands.ping.description': 'Понг!'
                    }
                }
            })
        })
    ],
    providers
})
class AppModule {
}

Also, you can create your own localization adapter. Just implement the LocalizationAdapter interface:

import { BaseLocalizationAdapter } from '@necord/localization';

interface CustomLocalizationOptions {
    fallbackLocale: string;
    locales: Record<string, Record<string, string>>;
}

export class CustomLocalizationAdapter extends BaseLocalizationAdapter<CustomLocalizationOptions> {
    public getTranslation(key: string, locale: string, ...args: any[]): string {
        return `${key} by ${locale}`;
    }
}

Then, we can inject the LOCALIZATION_ADAPTER into our service and use it to localize our commands and messages:

import { Injectable, Inject, OnModuleInit } from '@nestjs/common';
import { DefaultLocalizationAdapter, localizationMapByKey, LOCALIZATION_ADAPTER } from '@necord/localization';
import { Context, SlashCommand, SlashCommandContext } from 'necord';

@Injectable()
export class AppService implements OnModuleInit {
    public constructor(
        @Inject(LOCALIZATION_ADAPTER)
        private readonly localizationAdapter: DefaultLocalizationAdapter
    ) {
    }

    @SlashCommand({
        name: 'ping',
        description: 'Pong!',
        nameLocalizations: localizationMapByKey('commands.ping.name'),
        descriptionLocalizations: localizationMapByKey('commands.ping.description')
    })
    public ping(
        @Context() [interaction]: SlashCommandContext,
        @CurrentTranslate() t: TranslationFn
    ) {
        const message = t('commands.ping.description');
        return interaction.reply(message);
    }
}

Or you can use @CurrentTranslate decorator to get the current translation from context:

import { Injectable, Inject, OnModuleInit } from '@nestjs/common';
import { DefaultLocalizationAdapter, CurrentTranslate, TranslationFn, localizationMapByKey } from '@necord/localization';
import { Context, SlashCommand, SlashCommandContext } from 'necord';

@Injectable()
export class AppService implements OnModuleInit {
    @SlashCommand({
        name: 'ping',
        description: 'Pong!',
        nameLocalizations: localizationMapByKey('commands.ping.name'),
        descriptionLocalizations: localizationMapByKey('commands.ping.description')
    })
    public ping(
        @Context() [interaction]: SlashCommandContext,
        @CurrentTranslate() t: TranslationFn
    ) {
        const message = t('commands.ping.description');
        return interaction.reply(message);
    }
}

Congratulations! You have successfully created your first localized command with Necord!
