Bumps i18next from 26.5.11 to 26.7.2.

Release notes

Sourced from i18next's releases.

v26.7.2

• fix: the debug-mode deprecation warning for a language code without a region no longer says that v27 replaces aliases. 26.7.0 and 26.7.1 warned that v27 turns 'iw' into 'he' or 'tl' into 'fil' and asked you to rename them. v27 only gives such codes their canonical casing ('EN' becomes 'en', 'IW' becomes 'iw'), so iw, tl, eng and similar codes stay as they are. If you renamed them because of that warning, you can keep or restore the old codes. The warning now only appears when the casing changes.

v26.7.1

• fix: reloadResources() retries the bundles that failed to load. The load queue skipped them also when reloading, so a language whose first load failed (a backend or network outage at startup) stayed missing. i18next-http-backend 4.0.8, i18next-chained-backend 5.0.7 and i18next-locize-backend 10.0.5 reload through reloadResources() with i18next 26.7, so their reloadInterval no longer recovered from such a failure, as their own reload did before.
• fix: reloadResources() without languages reloads the current languages and every language the backend loaded or tried to load, for the instance and its clones, as the API docs describe ("pass languages and namespaces if you don't want to reload all"). It reloaded only the current languages, so on a server (one clone per request with i18next-http-middleware) a backend's reloadInterval never refreshed the languages loaded for requests. It never requests cimode. With languages given, nothing changes.

v26.7.0

The last 26.x minor before v27, which follows in about a week. It adds the APIs v27 builds on, and with debug: true it warns wherever a setup relies on something v27 changes. Most of the v27 defaults are existing options, so you can try them now:

i18next.init({
  debug: true, // prints the warnings below
  fallbackLng: 'en', // v27: fallbackLng defaults to false, set your source language (no implicit 'dev')
  returnEmptyString: false, // v27 default: an empty string falls back like a missing key
  cleanCode: true, // close to v27, which canonicalizes codes without a region ('EN' becomes 'en')
});

declare module 'i18next' {
  interface CustomTypeOptions {
    strictInterpolationChecks: true; // v27 default
    returnEmptyString: false; // v27 default
  }
}

The other v27 changes (/ no longer escaped in values, a logger and post-processors per instance, the key instead of a sentence for an object hit, the dotted-language store calls and *Escaped options removed) have no switch; the debug warnings below show where they apply.

• feat: with the default skipOnVariables: true, a missing interpolation variable is now logged in debug mode, once per string and variable: missed to pass in variable name for interpolating Hello {{name}}. The raw {{name}} reached the UI without any log line, even with debug: true, because the warning only ran with skipOnVariables: false. A variable passed as undefined and a missingInterpolationHandler still log nothing.
• feat: i18next.hydrate(resources, lng) puts resources rendered on the server into the store and changes to the server's language, each only the first time. It does what react-i18next's useSSR did by writing resourceStore.data, options.ns, isInitialized, initializedStoreOnce and initializedLanguageOnce directly, and sets the same flags, so integrations can switch to it and stay compatible with code that still reads or writes them. On a clone it does nothing, as useSSR does: a clone shares its parent's store (one clone per request with i18next-http-middleware). Called before init(), it logs a warning and changes nothing.
• feat: services.utils.reloadResources() lets a backend reload its bundles through i18next (as i18next.reloadResources(), with retries and the loaded event), instead of calling backendConnector.read() and loaded() itself as the reloadInterval of i18next-http-backend and i18next-chained-backend does. Without languages (no lng, no detector, the default fallbackLng), reloadResources() reloads nothing instead of throwing Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'forEach'); a backend that also reloads preload passes its languages.
• feat: backends and async language detectors can declare their calling convention with callbackApi (an instance or static property). true: read(language, namespace, callback), create(languages, namespace, key, fallbackValue, callback, options) and detect(callback); false: they return a promise or a value, and create gets the options as its fifth argument. Without it, i18next keeps guessing from the number of parameters (Function.length), which default and rest parameters change: i18next-chained-backend's create(..., clb = () => {}, opts = {}) has length 4 and never got its options (isUpdate), and i18next-http-backend's callback form of create has length 5, the length reserved for the callback-less form. Guessing is deprecated: in debug mode an unmarked backend or async detector logs a deprecation warning, once per init().
• feat: isSafeLanguageCode(code) is exported for plugins that take a language from a request, a URL or storage: letters, digits, -, _, @ and . (no ..), at most 128 characters, not a prototype key. It is not a BCP 47 check, so en_US, zh_Hant_TW, sr@latin and de_DE.UTF-8 pass; markup, slashes and spaces do not. The language detector, i18next-http-middleware and i18next-http-backend each have their own rule today.
• feat: use() logs a warning in debug mode when a second backend, language detector, i18nFormat or formatter replaces the first one; only one of each is used per instance, and losing an ICU setup this way was silent. As use() usually runs before init(), the warning is printed once init() has set up the logger.
• feat(types): ParseKeysWithoutVariables<Ns, KPrefix>, the keys t() takes without options: their string has no variables, and a plural key is left out when its forms take count. A wrapper typed with it, like (key: ParseKeysWithoutVariables<'common'>) => t(key), compiles with strictInterpolationChecks without a cast.
• feat(types): defaultVariables in CustomTypeOptions declares the variables interpolation.defaultVariables fills in at runtime (defaultVariables: { appName: string }). They become optional in the t() options, also with strictInterpolationChecks; passed, they keep their type.
• feat(types): interpolationFormatSeparator in CustomTypeOptions for a custom interpolation.formatSeparator: the types split {{price, currency}} at a hard-coded ,, so with formatSeparator: ';' the format was not recognized. The per-call skipInterpolation option is typed, and returnedObjectHandler may return a value (what it returns is what t() returns; it was typed as returning void).
• feat(types): SelectorFn, ApplyTarget, ConstrainTarget and GetSource are exported on purpose, under their current names. react-i18next imports them for Trans; they were importable only because every declaration in the type files counts as exported.
• fix(types): with nsSeparator: false in CustomTypeOptions, the key union no longer contains nsfalsekey-style keys for the other namespaces, and a key that contains the text false (isfalsey) is no longer split at it, which typed its t() result as never.
• fix: with clones (i18next-http-middleware makes one per request), saveMissing now checks that the namespace is loaded for the instance that misses the key. Each cloneInstance() pointed the parent's services.utils.hasLoadedNamespace at the new clone, and the backend connector, which all clones share, used that one: a key missing in one request was not saved (did not save key ... as the namespace ... was not yet loaded) while a newer request was still loading its language, and the parent's services.utils answered for the newest clone. A clone's services.utils is now bound to the clone, and the parent keeps its own. A direct services.backendConnector.saveMissing() call, like the missing keys route of i18next-http-middleware, still checks the newest clone (follow-up to #1413).
• fix: dir() without a language (before init(), or with no language resolved) returns 'ltr' instead of 'rtl' ([discussion #2135](Why 'rtl' is default direction in case of language not found? i18next/i18next#2135)).
• fix: t() before init() returns an empty string, as typed (with a warning when debug logging is already on); it returned undefined.
• fix: off('a b', listener) removes the listener from both events, as on('a b', listener) adds it to both. It looked for an event named 'a b', so once('a b', listener) never removed its listener and ran it on every event.
• deprecate: dotted languages in the resource store calls (getResource('en.translation.key'), addResource('en.translation.key', value), addResourceBundle('en.translation', resources)) log a deprecation warning in debug mode; they are removed in v27. Pass language, namespace and key as separate arguments.
• deprecate: interpolation.prefixEscaped, suffixEscaped, nestingPrefixEscaped and nestingSuffixEscaped (inserted into the RegExp unescaped) log a deprecation warning in debug mode and are marked @deprecated; they are removed in v27. Pass the literal delimiters as prefix, suffix, nestingPrefix and nestingSuffix.
• deprecate: compatibilityJSON is marked @deprecated (it has no effect since v24) and removed from the types in v27.
• deprecate: a language code without a region that v27 canonicalizes differently logs a deprecation warning in debug mode: 'EN' stays 'EN' today and becomes 'en' in v27, 'iw' becomes 'he'. cleanCode: true already lower-cases them.
• deprecate: when fallbackLng is not set, the first request for the default fallback language dev (loading it, or saving missing keys to it) logs a notice in debug mode: v27 defaults to fallbackLng: false and no longer requests dev. Set fallbackLng to your source language, or to 'dev' to keep the current behavior.
