Krakenjs routes with i18n URLs

Question

I want to build a blog with multilang content in Kraken.JS. How should I build the controller/model/routes to get these URLs:

/en-US/article/hello-world
/de-DE/article/hello-world
/it-IT/article/hello-world

The slug (hello-world) does not have to be internationalised. I don't want to copy the controller in files like:

controllers/en-US/article/index.js
controllers/de-DE/article/index.js
controllers/it-IT/article/index.js

Is there a prettier way to do this with just one controller file?

Answer 1

Yes it can be done using a single controller:

Checkout this example for directions on how to accomplish this https://github.com/krakenjs/kraken-example-with-i18n#adding-a-hook-to-set-the-locale-on-the-fly

One way to do this might be the following:

router.get('/:locale/article/:article_name', function (req, res) {
    res.cookie('locale', req.params.locale);
    res.redirect('/article/:article_name');
});

There would be only one controller: controller/article/index.js
