In this article, we will take the node example and put it to the browser-side.
Code
We will use the same code as in the previews article, but this time it will be in src/index.js
:
import i18next from "i18next";
i18next
.init({
lng: "en",
resources: {
en: {
translation: {
hello_world: "hello world",
},
},
},
})
.then((t) => {
console.log(t("hello_world"));
});
HTML
The index.html
is set up to work with default webpack output:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>i18next vanilla</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1" />
<script defer="defer" src="dist/main.js"></script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
Dependencies
Besides the library itself, this time we will need webpack packages as well:
$ npm install --save-dev webpack webpack-cli
npm WARN i18next-vanilla@1.0.0 No description
npm WARN i18next-vanilla@1.0.0 No repository field.
+ webpack-cli@4.8.0
+ webpack@5.51.1

Build script
After adding to package.json
:
{
...
"scripts": {
"build": "webpack --mode=none"
...
We can run the build with:
webpack --mode=none

Working code
Now, the demo application should work as expected:
