When exactly does i18n.languages get set? - react-apollo

I have an express server, am using apollo-client and also i18next for translations. What I need to do is to set the apollo-client link to have the users language in it. When I console.log i18n it's initialized but it's missing the i18n.languages[0] so I can't get the current language.
The setup of the i18next is the latest example.

In the middleware on each request: https://github.com/i18next/i18next-express-middleware/blob/master/src/index.js#L40 but only on the i18next instance bound to this request - not the global one!

VueJS SPA dynamic baseURL for axios

I've searched and searched and can't seem to find a pattern for this. I'd consider myself an intermediate Vue dev, however, the backend is my strong suit. I'm working on an app that will be white-labeled by resellers. While it's possible to have multiple builds, avoiding that would be ideal. The setup is a stand-alone vue-cli SPA connecting to a Laravel api backend and using the Sanctum auth package. So I need calls to the same domain. The issue: resellers will be on their own domain. The ask: Is there a pattern/solution for dynamically loading configs (mainly baseURL) for different domains (other items would by theme/stylesheet). Currently I have a few typical entries:
i.e. axios.defaults.baseURL = process.env.VUE_APP_API_BASE_URL
Basically, based on the domain the site is being served on, I'd like a dynamic/runtime config. I feel like this has been solved, but I can't seem to use the right search terms for some direction, so anything is helpful. I've tried a few things:
1) Parsing in js, but can't seem to get it to run early enough in the process to take effect? It seems to work, but I can't get it to "click"
2) Hit a public API endpoint with the current domain and get the config. Again, can implement, but can't seem to get it to inject into the Vue side correctly?
Any resources, pattern references or general guidance would be much appreciative to avoid maintaining multiple builds merely for a few variables. That said, I don't think there's much overhead in any of this, but also open to telling my I'm wrong and need multiple builds.
End Result
url visited is https://mydomaincom
then baseURL = https://api.mydomiancom
url visited https://resellerdomaincom
then baseURL=https://api.resellerdomaincom
I don't think there is a common pattern to solve your problem - I haven't found anything on the net.
The best software design solution could be the following:
have a single back-end
distribute only the client to your customers/resellers
Obviously the back end could see the domain of the application from which the request comes and manage the logic accordingly.
Good luck with your project.
Honestly how the question is put it's not really clear to me. Although my usual pattern is to:
Create an axios instance like so:
export const axiosInstance = axios.create({
// ...configs
baseURL: process.env.VUE_APP_URL_YOU_WOULD_LIKE_TO_HIT
})
and then whenever I make a request to some api, I would use this instance.
EDIT: According to your edit, you can either release the client to each customer, and have a .env file for each and every of them, or you can have a gateway system, where the client axios end point is always the same, hitting always the same server, and then from there the server decides what to ping, based on your own logic

Problems with i18next language detection and integration with hapi

I'm trying to write a new language detector plugin for i18next for integration with hapi. There's an existing hapi-i18next plugin that is quite old (it uses an extemely old version of i18next, 1.7.10 ) and so mostly useless. And the i18next API docs are pretty vague about how to write new plugins and exactly what the language detection process is. Does it run every time the t() function runs? should it be asynchronous? Has anybody else out there recently integrated hapi with i18next? I realize this is rather general but i'm not sure where else to turn.
Never used hapi so far, but seems hapi evolved a lot since version 8 (what's actually used here)
I don't know if that project is still maintained...
Perhaps you could try to create a new hapi-i18next plugin... (was not that much code)
To create a languageDetector plugin, it should not be a big thing... start here and continue by comparing how the express language detection works
In i18next the languageDetector is triggered here
...so on init/load and on a potential language change
I hope this helps.
What I ended up doing is writing a hapi server extension rather than a plugin, and a module that runs at startup that decorates the hapi server object with the initialized i18next object. The extension is installed to run onPreHandler and it basically clones the i18next object, attaches that instance to the request object, and detects the language (from the request header or from a query parameter), then sets the cloned instance to that language. This way, whenever a route handler uses the t() function attached to the instance that's attached to the current request, we know we'll be translating into the right language. Note that this is still for Hapi 16 (I need to port to 17/18 soon)...

Bootstrap ui-router states programmatically

I'm working with angular 1.
I want to load some data from server before ui-router bootstrapping all the states.
Is it possible to do so?
I would say that in this Question: AngularJS - UI-router - How to configure dynamic views and mostly in this answer you can get the answer.
The point is to use a feature of UrlRouterProvider - deferIntercept()
The deferIntercept(defer)
Disables (or enables) deferring location change interception.
If you wish to customize the behavior of syncing the URL (for example,
if you wish to defer a transition but maintain the current URL), call
this method at configuration time. Then, at run time, call
$urlRouter.listen() after you have configured your own
$locationChangeSuccess event handler.

Which Nativescript module is better for http requests - http or fetch?

Which Nativescript module is better for http requests - http or fetch?
Planning on doing GETs and POST operations - mostly simple with no cookies and state requirements.
But I would like to get fine control over the XMLhttprequest object - e.g. setting the timeout value etc.
I don't think one is particularly better than the other, though my preference is to use http as it's more consistent as far as implementation style as other Angular and node modules. If I'm not mistaken, it actually wraps the core node http module and just extends it to make it work for both iOS and Android platforms natively.
That said, http looks to be better documented and has the HttpRequestOptions interface where you can directly set the timeout as you mentioned wanting control over: http://docs.nativescript.org/api-reference/interfaces/http.httprequestoptions.html

Idiomatic REST API versioning in Padrino app

I am writing a Padrino app which will expose a few services via REST apis. I need to version the apis. I found this answer which explains how to version an api such that the version is embedded in the uri. I would rather put my version info in the Accept header or some other HTTP header (let's not go into the whole embed-in-uri vs put-in-header debate for now). Is there an idiomatic way of implementing this in a Padrino controller? I would like to avoid littering version checks in all my routes. Is there any way I can put the check in a central place (DRY) or - better still - let Padrino take care of this for me with some magical directives?
Try to implement (ofc, w/o 'v1' in url) this.
Also found that. It should work since Padrino is the little bro of Sinatra.
Can't test for the moment. Please keep me aware !
