mongoose-localize

A nodejs module to convert mongoose model property to set of localized properties.

As soon as mongoose_localize has been required...

import mongoose_localize from 'mongoose-localize';
mongoose_localize.setLocales(['locale1','locale2',...,'localeN']);

...every attribute of mongoose Scheme containing "localize" attribute set to true...

approverSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
	name: {
		type:String,
		localize: true
	}
});

...will be treated as if it would be

approverSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
	name: {
		locale1: {type:String},
		locale2: {type:String},
    ...
    localeN: {type:String},
	}
});
approverSchema.virtual('localized.name').get(function () {
// return name in the current locale
  ...
});

The "localize" attribute will be removed from source Scheme. It's nor a bug neither a feature, it is "by design".

While the module must be required and setLocales must be called before the first Schema added the current locale may be set and changed in any moment.

mongoose_localize.setLocale('locale2');
