UdeS.LanguageMixin

Published on webcomponents.org

A simple mixin to be aware of the current language application.

The language property is computed from supported languages and from the
browser languages.

It implements the observer pattern. You should call the updateLanguage
function if you want to update the language of all observers. When the language
is changed, the lang attribute of html element is update automatically.

<html lang="en"></html>

The mixin also provide some read-only properties to your component:

  • defaultLanguage: Default language defined globally.
  • language: Current language.
  • navigatorLanguage: Navigator language (see window.navigator.language).
  • navigatorLanguages: Navigator languages (see window.navigator.languages).
  • supportedLanguages: Supported languages defined globally.

Usage

As the primary language at our organisation, Université de Sherbrooke, is
French, you may want to change the defaultLanguage and the
supportedLanguages properties.

To do so, add the following code inside your index.html BEFORE you import any
HTML component using this mixin.

UdeS.Language = {
    defaultLanguage: 'en',
    supportedLanguages: ['en', 'fr'],
  };
