Installation

npm install dev-dict

Usage

import { TERMS, getTerms } from 'dev-dict'

// Define dictionary
const dictionary = getTerms({ terms: TERMS, locale: 'en-US' })

// Display translated terms
dictionary.forEach(term => {
  console.log(term.name) // "React", "TypeScript", etc.
})

Bundle size

Dev-dict contains 220+ terms. To keep your bundle small import only the terms you need.

// GOOD
import { react, typescript } from 'dev-dict/terms'

// BAD
import { TERMS } from 'dev-dict'

The root entry is best suited for server-side or build-time use cases where you need the full dataset (e.g. generating a static glossary page).
