vite-plugin-lingo

library0.1.4jsnpmunverified

Vite plugin that provides a visual editor for Gettext .po translation files in Vite projects. Current stable version is 0.1.4. The plugin adds a web UI for browsing and editing .po files, includes HMR support, and integrates with the wuchale i18n library. Key differentiators: framework-agnostic (works with any Vite setup), built-in HMR, and support for SvelteKit conventions. It is AGPL-3.0 licensed and published with npm provenance. Release cadence is rapid with frequent patches.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

lingo

✓ import lingo from 'vite-plugin-lingo'

✗ import { lingo } from 'vite-plugin-lingo'

Default export; named import will cause 'undefined' error.

VitePluginLingoOptions

✓ import type { VitePluginLingoOptions } from 'vite-plugin-lingo'

✗ import { VitePluginLingoOptions } from 'vite-plugin-lingo'

TypeScript type import only; not a runtime value.

lingo (CommonJS)

✓ const lingo = require('vite-plugin-lingo').default

✗ const lingo = require('vite-plugin-lingo')

Plugin is ESM-only; require() returns module object with .default.

Sets up vite-plugin-lingo with a custom route and locales directory in Vite config.

// vite.config.ts import { defineConfig } from 'vite'; import lingo from 'vite-plugin-lingo'; export default defineConfig({ plugins: [ lingo({ route: '/_translations', localesDir: './locales', }), ], });

Debug

Known issues

breakingPlugin requires Vite 5, 6, or 7; incompatible with Vite 4.x or older versions.

fix

Upgrade Vite to ^5.0.0, ^6.0.0, or ^7.0.0.

affects: <5.0.0

gotchaThe plugin uses Svelte internally and requires Svelte as a peer dependency (^4.0.0 || ^5.0.0).

fix

Install svelte: npm install --save-dev svelte

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaIn CommonJS environments, require() returns the module object; use .default to get the plugin function.

fix

const lingo = require('vite-plugin-lingo').default;

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThe `restartOnPoChange` option is a 'nuclear' option; enabling it unnecessarily causes dev server restarts on every .po file change.

fix

Use `reloadOnPoChange: true` instead unless you have a plugin conflict.

affects: >=0.1.2
