This is gonna be a really dumb question I should know the answer to.
I’m building a localization library. I have a big list of locale data that I only need to load a portion of each time. I dont want my end users to need any additional setup.
Is there a way for a static website to like “lazy load” the extra locale data when they’re needed only? So when someone visits the static page they only get
en, but if something for fr is used, it “fetches” that data somehow? I’d like to not require additional fetches to other endpoints, but CDN is likely fine I suppose.26 Replies

Ours is a bit more abstract since I’m writing some Rust that convert into wasm and typescript methods to call the wasm.

More context, I work at a big company and we can be a bit opinionated.

Tbf it does make sense if we step back haha. We want a single localization solution across all our stacks. We can compile this into whatever language.

That’s good feedback regardless tbh.

Where would the assets be loaded from? Like would vite be packaging all of that and load it dynamically? Or would I do a cdn route? Cuz we got like 1.5mb and growing of locale data. I know we can reduce it, but trying to think of cleaner ways now.
Previously it required an external cal to convert their data. And they don’t want that.

I’m sure we have a way to do a CDN just fine at work to. Honestly that might be the move. Just fetch the locale blob we need from a cdn and bundle whatever data they need

CDN will be fast af anyway
