We are using vue-i18n and maintain our messages within an js variable. This leads to deeply nested objects or key/value pairs.
const messages = {
en: {
message: {
page1: {
title: "Some title",
button: {
title: "Foo",
},
subpage: {
...
}
},
...
},
},
de: {...},
};
As u can see, without an appropriate sorting this file will be really confusing. My idea is to sort the whole file alphabetically by keys.
Is there an algorithm/code that can be used for this? Or do I have to write it myself?
You can do some recursivity like :
I used the following answer to write the order function
const order = (unordered) => Object.keys(unordered).sort().reduce(
(obj, key) => {
obj[key] = unordered[key];
return obj;
}, {}
);
const message = {
fr: {
message: "Bonjour",
a: 1
},
en: {
message: "Hello",
a: {
c: 1,
b: 2
}
},
es: "Hola"
}
const sortObjectDeeply = (object) => {
for (let [key, value] of Object.entries(object)) {
if (typeof(value) === "object") {
object[key] = sortObjectDeeply(value)
}
}
return order(object)
}
console.log(sortObjectDeeply(message))
