Localization In Angular 8 Employee App

Introduction

 
We will create an Employee application using Angular CLI commands and will add i18n attributes for major labels in HTML files for localization. Later, we will create a translation source file and translation content files for Hindi and Malayalam languages. We are using i18n internationalization and localization for displaying application in different languages. You can get more details on i18n internationalization from this official angular document.
 

Create Employee application with Angular CLI

 
We can use the below command to create a new employee application in angular CLI
 
ng new employeelocalization
 
It will take some moments to install all node dependencies to our project. After some time, our new project will be ready.
 
We need bootstrap, font-awesome and angular-in-memory-web-api libraries in our project. We can add all these libraries one by one.
  • npm i bootstrap
  • npm i font-awesome
  • npm i angular-in-memory-web-api
We have successfully added required three libraries to our project. You can see the new entries in the package.json file as well.
 
We can create Home component now. You can use below CLI command to create a new component.
 
ng g c home
 
Above command is the shortcut for ng generate component home
 
Copy the below code and paste to home.component.html file.
 
home.component.html
  1. <div style="text-align:center">  
  2.     <h1 i18n="@@welcome">  
  3.       Welcome to Employee Application!  
  4.     </h1>  
  5.     <img width="200" alt="Angular Logo"  
  6.       src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyNTAgMjUwIj4KICAgIDxwYXRoIGZpbGw9IiNERDAwMzEiIGQ9Ik0xMjUgMzBMMzEuOSA2My4ybDE0LjIgMTIzLjFMMTI1IDIzMGw3OC45LTQzLjcgMTQuMi0xMjMuMXoiIC8+CiAgICA8cGF0aCBmaWxsPSIjQzMwMDJGIiBkPSJNMTI1IDMwdjIyLjItLjFWMjMwbDc4LjktNDMuNyAxNC4yLTEyMy4xTDEyNSAzMHoiIC8+CiAgICA8cGF0aCAgZmlsbD0iI0ZGRkZGRiIgZD0iTTEyNSA1Mi4xTDY2LjggMTgyLjZoMjEuN2wxMS43LTI5LjJoNDkuNGwxMS43IDI5LjJIMTgzTDEyNSA1Mi4xem0xNyA4My4zaC0zNGwxNy00MC45IDE3IDQwLjl6IiAvPgogIDwvc3ZnPg==">  
  7.     
  8.     <div class="jumbotron">  
  9.       <h5 i18n="@@homemessage">  
  10.         Localization in Angular 8 using i18n  
  11.       </h5>  
  12.     </div>  
  13.   </div>  
You can notice that I have added two i18n attributes inside <h1> and <h5> tags. These attributes are accompanied by @@welcome and @@homemessage values. We will add these kinds of attributes and values in many html files and later we will create a translation source file for allthese i18n attributes.
 
We can create a common header component for our application.
 
ng g c ui\header
 
The above command will create a new header component inside the new “ui” folder.
 
Copy the below code and paste it inside the header.component.html file.
 
header.component.html
  1. <nav class="navbar navbar-dark bg-dark mb-5">  
  2.     <a class="navbar-brand" href="/">Employee App</a>  
  3.     <div class="navbar-expand mr-auto">  
  4.       <div class="navbar-nav">  
  5.         <a class="nav-item nav-link active" routerLink="home" routerLinkActive="active" i18n="@@home">Home</a>  
  6.         <a class="nav-item nav-link" routerLink="employees" i18n="@@app">Employee</a>  
  7.       </div>  
  8.     </div>  
  9.     <div class="navbar-expand ml-auto navbar-nav">  
  10.       <div class="navbar-nav">  
  11.         <a class="nav-item nav-link" href="https://github.com/sarathlalsaseendran" target="_blank">  
  12.           <i class="fa fa-github"></i>  
  13.         </a>  
  14.         <a class="nav-item nav-link" href="https://twitter.com/sarathlalsasee1" target="_blank">  
  15.           <i class="fa fa-twitter"></i>  
  16.         </a>  
  17.         <a class="nav-item nav-link" href="https://codewithsarath.com" target="_blank">  
  18.           <i class="fa fa-wordpress"></i>  
  19.         </a>  
  20.       </div>  
  21.     </div>  
  22.   </nav>  
You can see that a couple of i18n attributes are added in the above file also.
 
We can create a common footer component in the same way.
 
ng g c ui\footer
 
Copy the below code and paste inside the footer.component.html file.
 
footer.component.html
  1. <nav class="navbar navbar-dark bg-dark mt-5 fixed-bottom">  
  2.     <div class="navbar-expand m-auto navbar-text" i18n="@@developer">  
  3.       Developed with <i class="fa fa-heart"></i> by <a href="https://codewithsarath.com" target="_blank">Sarathlal</a>  
  4.     </div>  
  5.   </nav>  
We can create Layout component now.
 
ng g c ui\layout
 
Copy below code and paste inside the layout.component.html file.
 
layout.component.html
  1. <app-header></app-header>  
  2. <div class="container">  
  3.   <ng-content></ng-content>  
  4. </div>  
  5. <app-footer></app-footer>  
We have added header and footer components tags inside this file along with a container to display remaining application parts.
 
We will use a generic validation class to validate the employee name. We can create this class now.
 
ng g class shared\GenericValidator
 
The above command will create an empty class inside the shared folder. Copy the below code and paste it inside this class file.
 
generic-validator.ts
  1. import { FormGroup } from '@angular/forms';  
  2.   
  3. export class GenericValidator {  
  4.   
  5.   constructor(private validationMessages: { [key: string]: { [key: string]: string } }) {  
  6.   }  
  7.   
  8.   processMessages(container: FormGroup): { [key: string]: string } {  
  9.     const messages = {};  
  10.     for (const controlKey in container.controls) {  
  11.       if (container.controls.hasOwnProperty(controlKey)) {  
  12.         const c = container.controls[controlKey];  
  13.         // If it is a FormGroup, process its child controls.  
  14.         if (c instanceof FormGroup) {  
  15.           const childMessages = this.processMessages(c);  
  16.           Object.assign(messages, childMessages);  
  17.         } else {  
  18.           // Only validate if there are validation messages for the control  
  19.           if (this.validationMessages[controlKey]) {  
  20.             messages[controlKey] = '';  
  21.             if ((c.dirty || c.touched) && c.errors) {  
  22.               Object.keys(c.errors).map(messageKey => {  
  23.                 if (this.validationMessages[controlKey][messageKey]) {  
  24.                   messages[controlKey] += this.validationMessages[controlKey][messageKey] + ' ';  
  25.                 }  
  26.               });  
  27.             }  
  28.           }  
  29.         }  
  30.       }  
  31.     }  
  32.     return messages;  
  33.   }  
  34.   
  35.   getErrorCount(container: FormGroup): number {  
  36.     let errorCount = 0;  
  37.     for (const controlKey in container.controls) {  
  38.       if (container.controls.hasOwnProperty(controlKey)) {  
  39.         if (container.controls[controlKey].errors) {  
  40.           errorCount += Object.keys(container.controls[controlKey].errors).length;  
  41.           console.log(errorCount);  
  42.         }  
  43.       }  
  44.     }  
  45.     return errorCount;  
  46.   }  
  47. }  
We will create each employee with a unique Guid. Hence, we can create a Guid class.
 
ng g class shared\Guid
 
The above command will create an empty class. Copy the below code and paste to this class file.
 
guid.ts
  1. export class Guid {  
  2.     static newGuid() {  
  3.         return 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(/[xy]/g, function(c) {  
  4.             var r = Math.random()*16|0, v = c == 'x' ? r : (r&0x3|0x8);  
  5.             return v.toString(16);  
  6.         });  
  7.     }  
  8. }  
We have added the logic for creating an automatic Guid.
 
We can create an employee interface using below command.
 
ng g interface employee\Employee
 
The above command will create an empty interface inside the employee folder. Copy the below code and paste to this file.
 
employee.ts
  1. export interface Employee {  
  2.     id: string,  
  3.     name: string,  
  4.     address: string,  
  5.     gender: string,  
  6.     company: string,  
  7.     designation: string  
  8. }  
In this application, we are using in-memory data to save and retrieve employee information. Hence, we can add below employee data class.
 
ng g class employee\EmployeeData
 
Copy below code and paste to this class file.
 
employee-data.ts
  1. import { InMemoryDbService } from 'angular-in-memory-web-api';  
  2. import { Employee } from './employee';  
  3.   
  4. export class EmployeeData implements InMemoryDbService {  
  5.   
  6.     createDb() {  
  7.         const employees: Employee[] = [  
  8.             {  
  9.                 'id''496f04a0-5c6d-400f-a0a8-0929088dc41e',  
  10.                 'name''Sarath Lal',  
  11.                 'address''Kakkanad',  
  12.                 'gender''Male',  
  13.                 'company''Orion Business Innovation',  
  14.                 'designation''Technical Lead'  
  15.             },  
  16.             {  
  17.                 'id''03810397-381c-4b9d-85f6-d7c87622e518',  
  18.                 'name''Baiju Mathew',  
  19.                 'address''Kakkanad',  
  20.                 'gender''Male',  
  21.                 'company''Orion Business Innovation',  
  22.                 'designation''Project Manager'  
  23.             }  
  24.         ];  
  25.         return { employees };  
  26.     }  
  27. }  
We can create employee service now.
 
ng g service employee\Employee
 
Copy the below code to this service class.
 
employee.service.ts
  1. import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';  
  2. import { HttpClient, HttpHeaders } from '@angular/common/http';  
  3. import { Employee } from './employee';  
  4. import { Observable, throwError, of } from 'rxjs';  
  5. import { catchError, map } from 'rxjs/operators';  
  6. import { Guid } from '../shared/guid';  
  7.   
  8. @Injectable({  
  9.   providedIn: 'root'  
  10. })  
  11. export class EmployeeService {  
  12.   private employeesUrl = 'api/employees';  
  13.   
  14.   constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }  
  15.   
  16.   getEmployees(): Observable<Employee[]> {  
  17.     return this.http.get<Employee[]>(this.employeesUrl)  
  18.       .pipe(  
  19.         catchError(this.handleError)  
  20.       );  
  21.   }  
  22.   
  23.   getEmployee(id: string): Observable<Employee> {  
  24.     if (id === '') {  
  25.       return of(this.initializeEmployee());  
  26.     }  
  27.     const url = `${this.employeesUrl}/${id}`;  
  28.     return this.http.get<Employee>(url)  
  29.       .pipe(  
  30.         catchError(this.handleError)  
  31.       );  
  32.   }  
  33.   
  34.   createEmployee(employee: Employee): Observable<Employee> {  
  35.     const headers = new HttpHeaders({ 'Content-Type''application/json' });  
  36.     employee.id = Guid.newGuid();  
  37.     debugger;  
  38.     return this.http.post<Employee>(this.employeesUrl, employee, { headers: headers })  
  39.       .pipe(  
  40.         catchError(this.handleError)  
  41.       );  
  42.   }  
  43.   
  44.   deleteEmployee(id: string): Observable<{}> {  
  45.     const headers = new HttpHeaders({ 'Content-Type''application/json' });  
  46.     const url = `${this.employeesUrl}/${id}`;  
  47.     return this.http.delete<Employee>(url, { headers: headers })  
  48.       .pipe(  
  49.         catchError(this.handleError)  
  50.       );  
  51.   }  
  52.   
  53.   updateEmployee(employee: Employee): Observable<Employee> {  
  54.     const headers = new HttpHeaders({ 'Content-Type''application/json' });  
  55.     const url = `${this.employeesUrl}/${employee.id}`;  
  56.     return this.http.put<Employee>(url, employee, { headers: headers })  
  57.       .pipe(  
  58.         map(() => employee),  
  59.         catchError(this.handleError)  
  60.       );  
  61.   }  
  62.   
  63.   private handleError(err) {  
  64.     let errorMessage: string;  
  65.     if (err.error instanceof ErrorEvent) {  
  66.       errorMessage = `An error occurred: ${err.error.message}`;  
  67.     } else {  
  68.       errorMessage = `Backend returned code ${err.status}: ${err.body.error}`;  
  69.     }  
  70.     console.error(err);  
  71.     return throwError(errorMessage);  
  72.   }  
  73.   
  74.   private initializeEmployee(): Employee {  
  75.     return {  
  76.       id: null,  
  77.       name: null,  
  78.       address: null,  
  79.       gender: null,  
  80.       company: null,  
  81.       designation: null  
  82.     };  
  83.   }  
  84. }  
We have added all CRUD actions logic inside above service class.
 
We can add employee list component to list all employee information.
 
ng g c employee\EmployeeList
 
Copy the below code and paste inside the component class file.
 
employee-list.component.ts
  1. import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';  
  2. import { Employee } from '../employee';  
  3. import { EmployeeService } from '../employee.service';  
  4.   
  5. @Component({

  7.   templateUrl: './employee-list.component.html',  
  8.   styleUrls: ['./employee-list.component.css']  
  9. })  
  10. export class EmployeeListComponent implements OnInit {  
  11.   pageTitle = 'Employee List';  
  12.   filteredEmployees: Employee[] = [];  
  13.   employees: Employee[] = [];  
  14.   errorMessage = '';  
  15.   
  16.   _listFilter = '';  
  17.   get listFilter(): string {  
  18.     return this._listFilter;  
  19.   }  
  20.   set listFilter(value: string) {  
  21.     this._listFilter = value;  
  22.     this.filteredEmployees = this.listFilter ? this.performFilter(this.listFilter) : this.employees;  
  23.   }  
  24.   
  25.   constructor(private employeeService: EmployeeService) { }  
  26.   
  27.   performFilter(filterBy: string): Employee[] {  
  28.     filterBy = filterBy.toLocaleLowerCase();  
  29.     return this.employees.filter((employee: Employee) =>  
  30.       employee.name.toLocaleLowerCase().indexOf(filterBy) !== -1);  
  31.   }  
  32.   
  33.   ngOnInit(): void {  
  34.     this.employeeService.getEmployees().subscribe(  
  35.       employees => {  
  36.         this.employees = employees;  
  37.         this.filteredEmployees = this.employees;  
  38.       },  
  39.       error => this.errorMessage = <any>error  
  40.     );  
  41.   }  
  42.   
  43.   deleteEmployee(id: string, name: string): void {  
  44.     if (id === '') {  
  45.       // Don't delete, it was never saved.  
  46.       this.onSaveComplete();  
  47.     } else {  
  48.       if (confirm(`Are you sure want to delete this Employee: ${name}?`)) {  
  49.         this.employeeService.deleteEmployee(id)  
  50.           .subscribe(  
  51.             () => this.onSaveComplete(),  
  52.             (error: any) => this.errorMessage = <any>error  
  53.           );  
  54.       }  
  55.     }  
  56.   }  
  57.   
  58.   onSaveComplete(): void {  
  59.     this.employeeService.getEmployees().subscribe(  
  60.       employees => {  
  61.         this.employees = employees;  
  62.         this.filteredEmployees = this.employees;  
  63.       },  
  64.       error => this.errorMessage = <any>error  
  65.     );  
  66.   }  
  67.   
  68. }  
Also, copy the corresponding HTML and CSS files.

We can import bootstrap and font-awesome classes inside the style.css file to use these libraries globally without further references.
 
style.css
  1. /* You can add global styles to this file, and also import other style files */

  12.   
  13. .table {

We can modify app.component.html file
 
app.component.html
  1. <app-layout>    
  2.   <router-outlet></router-outlet>    
  3. </app-layout>    
We have added app layout component inside this file.
 
We have completed the entire coding part except for the translation content creation.
 
We can create a translation source file using the below command.
 
ng xi18n --output-path src\app\translate
 
It will create a folder “translate” and create a messages.xlf file inside it. Open the file and you can observe the following XML code inside it.
 
messages.xlf

This file contains a list of <trans-unit> tags. These tags have all the content that was marked for translation using i18n attribute. You can also observe that each <trans-unit> tag has an “id” property associated with it.
 
Also, observe that each tag has “source” property associated. We can translate our application content to two new languages, Hindi and Malayalam.
 
Copy the content of messages.xlf to messages.hi.xlf and messages.ml.xlf. We can add a “target” property to each “source” property and add corresponding translation contents for each language.
