Aurelia-i18n + Webpack 4 - help needed
I followed tips in those topics:
[SOLVED] How to use i18N with backend in au-cli webpack projects?
But I get this error:
ERROR in ./src/locales/fr_CA/translation.json (./node_modules/bundle-loader?lazy&name=fr_CA!./src/locales/fr_CA/translation.json)
Module parse failed: Unexpected token m in JSON at position 0
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type.
Here is my main.ts:
aurelia.use
.standardConfiguration()
.feature(PLATFORM.moduleName('resources/index'))
.plugin(PLATFORM.moduleName('aurelia-i18n'), (instance) => {
let aliases = ['t', 'i18n'];
// add aliases for 't' attribute
TCustomAttribute.configureAliases(aliases);
// register backend plugin
instance.i18next.use(Backend.with(aurelia.loader));
// adapt options to your needs (see http://i18next.com/docs/options/)
// make sure to return the promise of the setup method, in order to guarantee proper loading
return instance.setup({
backend: { // <-- configure backend settings
loadPath: 'locales/{{lng}}/{{ns}}.json', // <-- XHR settings for where to get the files from
},
attributes: aliases,
lng : 'fr_CA',
fallbackLng : 'en_CA',
debug : false
});
});
and my webpack.config.js (generated with the CLI):
const path = require('path');
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
const CopyWebpackPlugin = require('copy-webpack-plugin');
const ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin');
const project = require('./aurelia_project/aurelia.json');
const { AureliaPlugin, ModuleDependenciesPlugin } = require('aurelia-webpack-plugin');
const { ProvidePlugin } = require('webpack');
const { BundleAnalyzerPlugin } = require('webpack-bundle-analyzer');

What I tried so far:
- use raw-loader (doesn’t work)
npm install raw-loader --save
{ test: /\.json$/i, loader: 'raw-loader' },
-
use pattern and exclude for locales (doesn’t work)
{ test: /locales(.).json$/i, loader: ‘raw-loader’ },
{ test: /.json$/i, loader: ‘json-loader’, exclude: [/locales(.).json$/i] },
The only way I was able to make it work was to rename files with .i18n extension (not ideal):
{ test: /locales(.*)\.i18n$/i, loader: 'json-loader' },
{ test: /\.json$/i, loader: 'json-loader' },
...
new ModuleDependenciesPlugin({
'aurelia-testing': [ './compile-spy', './view-spy' ],
'aurelia-i18n': [
{ name: 'locales/en_CA/translation.i18n', chunk: 'en_CA' },
{ name: 'locales/fr_CA/translation.i18n', chunk: 'fr_CA' }
]
//main.ts
backend: { // <-- configure backend settings
loadPath: 'locales/{{lng}}/{{ns}}.i18n', // <-- XHR settings for where to get the files from
}
Strange enough, it works even with json-loader, not raw-loader.
So how can I configure it to keep .json extension?
