Resources location with variable and set

[Felipo Antonoff]

Hi Peter and colleagues, I would like to know if you have to use http://docs.totaljs.com/how-does-it-work/resources/  with variable and if you have to set the language.

Example:

key1: text test wih {title}

In view:

@ {resource (' key1 ', ' my title ')}

And the set something like:

@ {resource.set (' en ')}

or

controller.resource.set (' en ')

Turning now the default.

Also if it's not too much trouble, working with plural.

Hello Felipo,

resource doesn't support set, but you can create a custom helper or component:

framework.helpers.res = function(key, value) {
    // this === controller
    var self = this;
   
    // text test with {0} - {0} will be replaced with the value
    return (self.resource(self.repository.resource || 'default', key) || '').format(value);
};

framework.helpers.resSet = function(key) {
    this.repository.resource = key || 'default';

    // IMPORTANT:
    return '';
};

Using in VIEWS or TEMPLATES:

<h1>TEST</h1>
@{resSet('en')}
<div>
    @{res('key1', 'my title')}
    @{res('key1', 'my title').pluralize('zero', 'one', 'few', 'other')}
</div>

Using in CONTROLLERS:

var self = this;
framework.helpers.resSet.call(self, 'en');
console.log(framework.helpers.res.call(self, 'key1', 'my title'));

I must create a helper for helpers in controllers :-)

I hope that I understand you.

Thanks.
