@dchighs/dc-localization

@dchighs/dc-localization is a package for accessing, manipulating, and comparing translation data from the game Dragon City (this is not an official library by SocialPoint; it is fan-made).

📦 Installation

Installation is straightforward; just use your preferred package manager. Here is an example using NPM:

npm i @dchighs/dc-localization @dchighs/dc-core

You need to install @dchighs/dc-core as well because I have set it as a peerDependency. This means the package requires @dchighs/dc-core as a dependency, but it will use the version the user has installed in the project.

🚀 Usage

 

Fetching localization for a specific language

To create a Localization instance, you need to provide data or use the static method .create(language: LocalizationLanguage) by providing a valid language code:

import { Localization } from "@dchighs/dc-localization"
import { ConfigLanguage } from "@dchighs/dc-core"

;(async () => {
	const localization = await Localization.create(ConfigLanguage.English)
})();

---

Loading a saved localization from a file

Supposing you have saved a JSON file containing localization data and want to load it to perform operations using the class, you can do it as follows:

import { Localization, LocalizationData } from "@dchighs/dc-localization"
import { ConfigLanguage } from "@dchighs/dc-core"
import fs from "node:fs"

;(async () => {
	const filePath = "localization.json"
	const contentString = await fs.promises.readFile(filePath, { encoding: "utf-8" })
	const data = JSON.parse(contentString) as LocalizationData // If it is Record<string, string>
	// const data = Object.assign({}, ...JSON.parse(contentString)) // If it is Array<Record<string, string>>

	const localization = new Localization({
		language: ConfigLanguage.English,
		data: data
	})
})();

Getting values by Key, ID, and keys by Value

Getting value by key:

const value = localization.getValueFromKey("tid_unit_1000_name") // Nature Dragon

Getting key by value:

const key = localization.getKeyFromValue("Nature Dragon") // tid_unit_1000_name

Getting dragon name by ID:

const name = localization.getDragonName(1000) // Nature Dragon

Getting dragon description by ID:

const description = localization.getDragonDescription(1000) // The Nature Dragon loves humans, animals...

Getting attack name by ID:

const name = localization.getAttackName(1) // Punch

Getting skill name by ID:

const name = localization.getSkillName(1) // Rock Throw

Getting skill description by ID:

const description = localization.getSkillDescription(1) // Hits 1 to 5 times

Searching values and keys

Searching keys:

const resultKeys = localization.searchKeys({
	query: "INPUT_HERE",
	lowerCase: true, /* text normalization config */
	normalizeLetters: true, /* text normalization config */
	trimSpaces: true /* text normalization config */
})

Searching values:

const resultValues = localization.searchValues({
	query: "INPUT_HERE",
	lowerCase: true, /* text normalization config */
	normalizeLetters: true, /* text normalization config */
	trimSpaces: true /* text normalization config */
})

---

Transforming

To get an object, a Record<string, string>:

const data = localization.toObject() // or localization.data

To get an array, an Array<Record<string, string>>:

const data = localization.toArray()

---

Comparing localizations

If you want to find the difference between two localization files, just use the static Localization.compare(a: Localization, b: Localization) or the instance method Localization.compare(other: Localization):

;(async () => {
	const filePath = "localization.json"
	const contentString = await fs.promises.readFile(filePath, { encoding: "utf-8" })
	const data = JSON.parse(contentString) as LocalizationData
	
	const oldLocalization = new Localization({
		language: ConfigLanguage.English,
		data: data
	})
	
	const newLocalization = await Localization.create("en")
	
	const comparisonResult = newLocalization.compare(oldLocalization) // { newFields: [...], editedFields: [...], deletedFields: [...] }
})();

---

Translating configuration

If you are dealing with game configuration data, you can translate it more easily using the .translate(object: any) method from Localization:

const dragon = {...}

const translatedDragon = localization.translate(dragon)
