# An i18n module for the Actions On Google SDK


## Prepare

Create a folder with your locales (you can use either `js` or `json` files), e.g.:

```text
├── src/
│   ├── locales/
│   │   ├── en-GB.json
│   │   └── en-US.json

```

Each file must export (or have) a valid JSON content:

```json
// src/locales/en-US.json
{
  "WELCOME": "<speak>Hi {name}, I'm your awesome assistant. What can I do for ya?</speak>"
}
```
```json
// src/locales/en-GB.json
{
  "WELCOME": "<speak>Hi {name}, I'm your amazing assistant. How can I help?</speak>"
}
```

## Install

`npm i @sfeiross/actions-on-google-i18n -S`

## Options

### directory
**default:** `./src/locales/`

The directory where the locale files are located.

### defaultFile
**default:** `index.js` || `index.json`

The default locale file that will **ALWAYS** be used for **ANY** locale.

### defaultLocale
**default:** `en-US`

The default locale that will be used if no locale can be extracted from the Actions On Google SDK.

## Quick setup

Import in your main entry file and call the `.use()` method to register your `DialogflowApp` instance:

```js
const i18n = require('@sfeiross/actions-on-google-i18n');
const app = dialogflow({ debug: true });;
i18n.use(app);
```

## Use

To get the localized content, call the `conv.__(string, context)` method and provide the content key to get the content. You can also provide an optional context object if you set variables in your content:

```js
app.intent('welcome', (conv) => {
    conv.ask(conv.__('WELCOME', { name: 'Wassim' }));
});
```

## Full setup

```js
'use strict';
const i18n = require('@sfeiross/actions-on-google-i18n');
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const { dialogflow } = require('actions-on-google');

const app = dialogflow({ debug: true });

i18n
  .configure({
    directory: `${__dirname}/src/locales`,
    defaultFile: `${__dirname}/src/locales/index.json`,
    defaultLocale: 'en-US',
  })
  .use(app);
  
app.intent('welcome', (conv) => {
  conv.ask(conv.__('WELCOME', { name: 'Wassim' }));
});

exports.agent = functions.https.onRequest(app);
```
