Reload i18n resources

[zabihexes]

Is there any way for me to reload i18next resources while using typesafeI18nObject?
Normally I would use i18next.reloadResources, but I do not really have access to that with typesafeI18nObject.

I could call typesafeI18nObject again and replace the whole thing, but that does not seem like a good solution.

Same issue if I use the i18n function btw.

What do you exactly mean with "reloading"?
Does your dictionary change while you are using the application?

[zabihexes]

Yes, the dictionary can change if I manually trigger a reload of it. It is a common practice when developing discord bots. (To be short, there are good reasons for it.)

I could just reassign the variable(LL, I think you named it like that in examples.) with output of typesafeI18nObject(calling the function again) again on each reload, but I do not think that is ideal.

Reloading is basically importing a file again and assigning the output of it to some variable. Then I would pass that variable to i18n.

It is a similar idea to HMR(hot module reload) although it works differently.

For me this sounds like the same process as switching to another locale. There you first load the translations from disk via loadLocaleAsync and then call the setLocale function from the specific adapter (like here). There also a new instance of i18nObject get's created.

Got it working. Had to copy whole i18n function (https://github.com/ivanhofer/typesafe-i18n/blob/main/packages/runtime/src/util.instance.mts#L16) so I can access the cache variable myself. Rest was just replacing locales in the cache with my reloaded one.

Great that you have found a solution that works for you :)
