Write script for CSV to JSON in other programming languages

[thealphadollar]

Currently, the script to convert the language CSV to multiple language JSON files is written in Python3. This poses an issue of installing Python3 for web developers who want to use the library for providing internationalization.

The script should be ported to the following languages for ease of usage:

• Javascript (runnable in a browser) (via Add a Browser runnable version of CSV to JSON script. #13)
• Node.js (runnable in console)
• Shellscript

An enhanced version of the same would be developing a tiny webpage that takes the CSV as input and provides the JSON for the corresponding languages.

hey @thealphadollar I wonder if you you check #5 PR?
I want to know if it meets the requeriments for this issue 😄
Thanks!

@toyamarodrigo Hey, I'm a bit busy over the week and will be looking at it as soon as I get time. I'm really thankful for your contribution and patience :D

[NeerajGartia21]

Can I work on this issue?

[thealphadollar]

Yes, please.

Please let me know what language are you going to write the script for.

[NeerajGartia21]

I'm writing the script in JavaScript.

[thealphadollar]

Hey Neeraj! I appreciate your interest. We already have the NodeJS script. You can use it as a reference and prepare a JS script that is completely runnable in a browser.

Please also let me know if you research and find out the same is not possible.

[thealphadollar]

I mistook the NodeJS script for JS. I've edited my comment. Apologies.

[NeerajGartia21]

Ok I will research on this :)

What are the other languages that I can use for writting the script.

[thealphadollar]

Any language is fine - GoLang, Rust, Php, etc. Wherever it is possible should be a good language.

I'm working in a JS version runnable in the browser. Currently, it works perfectly. This is the example of the usage:

const CSV_CONFIG = {
  double_quotationmark: true,
  lastbeggin_quotationmark: true,
  delimiter: ",",
  breakline: "\r\n"
}

var csvParser = new csv2vi18n(myCsvText, CSV_CONFIG);

csvParser.languages  // Array of available languages
csvParser.getLanguageObject("Enlgish");  // Return Object of language if exists
csvParser.getSingleLanguageJson("Enlgish");  // Download JSON file of language
csvParser.downloadZip();  // Download all languages in Zip file

/*  

File structure of zip file:

  vanilla-i18n
  ├── English.json
  ├── français.json
  └── हिन्दी.json

*/

It needs the JSZip to work. The current version uses a small csv parser that I wrote, but I wish to change for jquery-csv soon.
The HTML file header looks like this:

<!-- <script src="./jquery.csv.min.js"></script>. //Not yet -->
<script src="./jszip.min.js"></script>
<script src="./csv_to_vanilla_i18.browser.js"></script>

The reason why I didn't open a PR yet is because I don't know how to serve that. We should deploy it in the gh-pages?

You can check my implementation here in my fork, you need to pull it to your local repo and open the HTML file in your browser with file://.

My repo added a lot of code, but the script is just in this file, the others are for an HTML deploy.

PD: I'm not a native English speaker. Sorry if my redaction is confusing. 😅

[thealphadollar]

Ah! Looks amazing.

We should deploy it in the gh-pages?

Yes, that would be best.
