The [http://hg.mozdev.org/jsmodules/file/tip/StringBundle.js StringBundle module] makes it easier to access string bundles from JS modules and XPCOM components. To use the module, import it, create a new instance of StringBundle, and then use the instance's <code>get</code> and <code>getAll</code> methods to retrieve strings (you can get both plain and formatted strings with <code>get</code>): | |||
let strings = new StringBundle("chrome://example/locale/strings.properties"); | |||
let foo = strings.get("foo"); | |||
let barFormatted = strings.get("bar", [arg1, arg2]); | |||
for each (let string in strings.getAll()) | |||
dump (string.key + " = " + string.value + "\n"); | |||
Note: in addition to the API described above, the StringBundle object supports the API for the <code>stringbundle</code> XBL binding to make it easier to switch from the binding to the module: | |||
<strike>let strings = document.getElementById("myStringBundleElement");</strike> | |||
let strings = new StringBundle("chrome://example/locale/strings.properties"); | |||
let foo = strings.getString("foo"); | |||
let barFormatted = strings.getFormattedString("bar", [arg1, arg2]); | |||
let enumerator = strings.strings; | |||
while (enumerator.hasMoreElements()) { | |||
let string = enumerator.getNext().QueryInterface(Ci.nsIPropertyElement); | |||
dump (string.key + " = " + string.value + "\n"); | |||
} | |||
