Usage

Here is a complete example on how to use this package:

package main

import (
	"embed"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/MajorLettuce/go-locale"
)

// Embed FS variable must be defined outside of a function
// Make sure 'locale' directory exists in your project directory:
//
// <project root>
// |-- main.go
// |-- locale/
//   |-- en.yml  :  greeting: Hello, {{.name}}!
//   |-- es.yml  :  greeting: Hola, {{.name}}!

//go:embed locale/*.yml
var localeFS embed.FS

func main() {
	// Initialize reads *.yml files from 'locale' directory
	err := locale.Initialize("en", localeFS, "locale")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// Now you can read locale messages globally
	fmt.Println(
		locale.Message("greeting"), // Hello, <no value>!
	)

	// You can specify message data and language fluently
	fmt.Println(
		locale.Message("greeting").In("es").With("name", "Alex"), // Hola, Alex!
	)
}
