Support more glob patterns for namespaces about next-translate HOT 11 CLOSED

I like the idea of regex support, since its native in javascript it would keep the library tiny

from next-translate.

I thought about this 🙂Ok, let's do it!

@aralroca not sure. I myself am not super fluent with regexes, same for many people I think.

Glob patterns seem to be like a standard for this kind of configuration.

Ok @BjoernRave @Hanzo93 . Let's do a list of pros and cons:

Do you want to add any points to the list?

I researched and there are a lot of libraries, like webpack, jest, babel that are using regex in their configurations.

@aralroca thanks for that comparison. I guess looking at it, Regexes make more sense. It's fine by me if you guys prefer it. Will be a way to improve my Regex game :D

@aralroca can confirm, that it works, good job :)

@aralroca when you see my config you will know why :D

@BjoernRave what do you think if instead of glob patterns, we will support regExp when it exist the prefix rgx:?

Ex:

{
 'rgx:^.*/test/.*/example$': ['namespace'] // /this/test/is/an/example -> true
}

In this case, we can provide more flexibility without bringing extra code. The problem of Glob is that we need to do all the conversions or use an external library. In static websites is not a problem because this code is only for the CLI, but in the case of appWithI18n is going to increase the size of that package.

@BjoernRave can you confirm that with the new 0.9.0 release is working well in your project?

Your example:

{
    "*/new": ["forms"],
    "*/[id]/edit": ["forms"]
}

Should be:

{
    "rgx:/new$": ["forms"],
    "rgx:/\\[id\\]/edit$": ["forms"]
}

or with both rules:

{
    "rgx:(/new|/\\[id\\]/edit)$": ["forms"],
}

@aralroca when I install latest I only get 0.8.0
