Multi-lang support

[PicoJr]

Hey folks,
I'm currently working on a similar lib, because htp development seemed to be dead. But this isn't the case obviously. My lib also tries to tackle multi-lang support for e.g. en = now, de = jetzt, fr = maintenant, ....

I got heavily inspired by your approach of using PEST files. The lib will offer more than just parsing human date strings, but I wonder if you want that multi-lang support as well?

Best regards
Stefan

P.S.: If you want, I can open an issue, combined with a PR 👍

@icepuma
I must confess I did not think about it.

Providing multi language support sounds daunting from a dev perspective: I am curious how you implement multi-lang support in your own crate?

Ehm, yeah. Basically like this:

• Add a proc macro to abstract the parser part https://github.com/icepuma/temps/blob/main/macros/src/lib.rs#L26-L58
• Define the parser for module https://github.com/icepuma/temps/tree/main/lib/src/de (which has the .pest - file) via https://github.com/icepuma/temps/blob/main/lib/src/lib.rs#L25
• Add a lang enum https://github.com/icepuma/temps/blob/main/lib/src/lib.rs#L12-L14
• Use said enum via https://github.com/icepuma/temps/blob/main/lib/src/lib.rs#L27-L37

This isn't nearly in a usable state, but the direction should be clear :)

I also added a credit to your crate :D

Ah yeah. In case you want to talk in person or via a more chat-like medium, you could hop on the Discord of Rawkode via https://rawkode.chat/
