An incredibly simple i18n translation function using lodash `get` and `template` functions

i18n.lodash.ts

import { get, template } from 'lodash';
const en = require('@/lang/en.json');

/**
 * Translate a string from a preloaded JSON document
 */
const intl = function(key: string, values: Record<string, string | number> = {}): string {
  const compiled = template(get(en, key), {
    interpolate: /{([\s\S]+?)}/g, // {myVar}
  });

  return compiled(values);
};

export default intl;
