I have a JSON like this:
{
"generic": {
"tables": {
"header": "Header",
"columns": "Columns"
},
"yes": "Yes",
"no": "No"
}
}
But with thousands of lines and more nested objects. I need to translate all this strings, so I'm making a script to do it. How can I loop through each string and replace it with something?
I've searched and found this thread: Looping through JSON with node.js but I can't find any solution that fits my needs.
I made this quick script:
const fs = require('fs');
const obj = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('en.json', 'utf-8'));
const translate = (obj, path = '') => {
const keys = Object.keys(obj);
keys.forEach((key) => {
const type = typeof obj[key];
if (type === 'object') {
translate(obj[key], path === '' ? key : path + '.' + key);
} else {
console.log(path + ' --> [' + key + ']: ' + obj[key]);
}
});
};
translate(obj);
It loops through the array. In the console log line I have the full path of the translation item (i.e.: 'generic.tables.header') and I have the key and value of the translation.
How can i make a new object containing the keys ?
I think I found a way, instead of saving the path, create an empty object and insert the keys there:
const fs = require('fs');
const obj = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('en.json', 'utf-8'));
const newObj = {};
const translate = (obj, path = '', objVal) => {
const keys = Object.keys(obj);
keys.forEach((key) => {
const type = typeof obj[key];
if (type === 'object') {
objVal[key] = {};
const newObjVal = objVal[key];
translate(obj[key], path === '' ? key : path + '.' + key, newObjVal);
} else {
objVal[key] = obj[key];
//console.log(path + ' --> [' + key + ']: ' + obj[key]);
}
});
};
translate(obj, '', newObj);
