Extensibility: The "Magic Namespace" Problem + +**Status: ✅ IMPLEMENTED** + +* **Solution:** The `KeyHandler` interface and middleware chain have been implemented. +* **Details:** "Magic" keys like `i18n.label.*` are now handled by specific structs in `handler.go`. The core `T()` method iterates through these handlers. +* **Benefit:** New patterns can be added via `AddHandler()` without modifying the core package. + +## 2. API Design: Context & Disambiguation + +**Status: ✅ IMPLEMENTED** + +* **Solution:** `TranslationContext` struct and `C()` builder have been created in `context.go`. +* **Details:** `getEffectiveFormality()` now checks `*TranslationContext` for formality hints, in addition to `*Subject`. +* **Benefit:** Translations can now be disambiguated via context, and formality can be set per-call without needing a Subject. + +## 3. Storage: Interface-Driven Loading + +**Status: ✅ IMPLEMENTED** + +* **Solution:** The `Loader` interface has been defined in `types.go`, and the default JSON logic moved to `FSLoader` in `loader.go`. +* **Details:** `NewWithLoader` allows injecting any backend. +* **Benefit:** Applications can now load translations from databases, remote APIs, or other file formats. + +## 4. Standardization: Pluralization & CLDR + +**Status: ⏳ PENDING** + +* **Current State:** The package still uses a custom `pluralRules` map in `types.go`. +* **Recommendation:** When the need arises for more languages, replace the internal `pluralRules` map with a call to `golang.org/x/text/feature/plural` or a similar standard library wrapper. The current interface hides this implementation detail, so it can be swapped later without breaking changes. + +## 5. Data Format: Vendor Compatibility + +**Status: ⏳ ENABLED** + +* **Current State:** The default format is still the custom nested JSON. +* **Future Path:** Thanks to the `Loader` interface, we can now implement a `PoLoader` or `ArbLoader` to support standard translation formats used by professional vendors, without changing the core service. + +## Summary + +The critical architectural risks (coupling, storage, and context) have been resolved. The remaining item (Pluralization standard) is an implementation detail that can be addressed incrementally without breaking the public API. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/pkg/i18n/REVIEW.md b/pkg/i18n/REVIEW.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..491d2104 --- /dev/null +++ b/pkg/i18n/REVIEW.md @@ -0,0 +1,38 @@ +# Code Review: i18n Package (Refactored) + +## Executive Summary +The `pkg/i18n` package has undergone a significant refactoring that addresses previous architectural concerns. The introduction of a `Loader` interface and a `KeyHandler` middleware chain has transformed a monolithic service into a modular, extensible system. The file structure is now logical and intuitive. + +## Status: Excellent +The package is now in a state that strongly supports future growth without breaking changes. The code is clean, idiomatic, and follows Go best practices. + +## Improvements Verified + +* **Modular Architecture:** The "magic" namespace logic (e.g., `i18n.label.*`) has been successfully extracted from the core `T()` method into a chain of `KeyHandler` implementations (`handler.go`). This allows for easy extension or removal of these features. +* **Storage Agnosticism:** The new `Loader` interface and `NewWithLoader` constructor decouple the service from the filesystem, allowing for future backends (Database, API, etc.) without API breakage. +* **Logical File Structure:** + * `service.go`: Core service logic (moved from `interfaces.go`). + * `loader.go`: Data loading and flattening (renamed from `mutate.go`). + * `hooks.go`: Callback logic (renamed from `actions.go`). + * `handler.go`: Middleware logic (new). + * `types.go`: Shared interfaces and types (new). +* **Type Safety:** Shared types (`Mode`, `Formality`, etc.) are centralized in `types.go`, improving discoverability. + +## Remaining/New Observations + +| Issue | Severity | Location | Recommendation | +|-------|----------|----------|----------------| +| **Context Integration** | Minor | `service.go` | `TranslationContext` is defined in `context.go` but not yet fully utilized in `resolveWithFallback`. The service checks `Subject` for formality, but doesn't appear to check `TranslationContext` yet. | +| **Handler Performance** | Trivial | `handler.go` | The handler chain is iterated for every `T()` call. For high-performance hot loops, ensure the chain length remains reasonable (current default of 6 is fine). | + +## Recommendations + +1. **Wire up Context:** + * Update `Service.getEffectiveFormality` (and similar helper methods) to check for `*TranslationContext` in addition to `*Subject`. + * This will fully activate the features defined in `context.go`. + +2. **Unit Tests:** + * Ensure the new `handler.go` and `loader.go` have dedicated test coverage (files `handler_test.go` and `loader_test.go` exist, which is good). + +3. **Documentation:** + * Update package-level examples in `i18n.go` to show how to use `WithHandlers` or custom Loaders if advanced usage is expected. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/pkg/i18n/i18n_test.go b/pkg/i18n/i18n_test.go index e3f21f79..931229f3 100644 --- a/pkg/i18n/i18n_test.go +++ b/pkg/i18n/i18n_test.go @@ -395,6 +395,26 @@ func TestFormalityMessageSelection(t *testing.T) { result := svc.T("greeting", S("user", "test").Informal()) assert.Equal(t, "Hey there", result) }) + + t.Run("context formality overrides service formality", func(t *testing.T) { + svc.SetFormality(FormalityNeutral) + + // TranslationContext with formal overrides neutral service + result := svc.T("greeting", C("user greeting").Formal()) + assert.Equal(t, "Good morning, sir", result) + + // TranslationContext with informal overrides neutral service + result = svc.T("greeting", C("user greeting").Informal()) + assert.Equal(t, "Hey there", result) + }) + + t.Run("context formality overrides service formal", func(t *testing.T) { + svc.SetFormality(FormalityFormal) + + // TranslationContext with informal overrides formal service + result := svc.T("greeting", C("user greeting").Informal()) + assert.Equal(t, "Hey there", result) + }) } func TestNewWithOptions(t *testing.T) { diff --git a/pkg/i18n/service.go b/pkg/i18n/service.go index 1bcf832b..840f77ad 100644 --- a/pkg/i18n/service.go +++ b/pkg/i18n/service.go @@ -453,9 +453,16 @@ func (s *Service) resolveMessage(lang, key string, data any) string { } // getEffectiveFormality returns the formality to use for translation. -// Priority: Subject.formality > Service.formality > FormalityNeutral +// Priority: TranslationContext > Subject > map["Formality"] > Service.formality // Must be called with s.mu.RLock held. func (s *Service) getEffectiveFormality(data any) Formality { + // Check if data is a TranslationContext with explicit formality + if ctx, ok := data.(*TranslationContext); ok && ctx != nil { + if ctx.Formality != FormalityNeutral { + return ctx.Formality + } + } + // Check if data is a Subject with explicit formality if subj, ok := data.(*Subject); ok && subj != nil { if subj.formality != FormalityNeutral {
