Move languages to package and load locally

[tacman]

Description:

During rendering, the formbuilder loads language files from the network, rather than locally. As you can see, this add almost 6 seconds to my page rendering:

Can these files be moved into the package, so they can be loaded locally? Or configured, so they could be on a cdn or whatever.

Environment Details:

• formBuilder Version: 3.4.1
• Browser: Firefox
• OS: Ubuntu 18.04

Expected Behavior

No outside network activity

I've done some digging and found the reference, but don't know how to override it. In config.js, the location is se:

export const defaultI18n = {
  location: 'https://formbuilder.online/assets/lang/',
}

I'm no javascript expert, so I couldn't figure out how to set this in the options, but even if I could, it appears the language files are not included in the installation or even the source of the package. @kevinchappell , where are these languages files, and can they be included in the package so that using formBuilder doesn't require a network connection? Thanks.

i18n config can be set via plugin options: https://formbuilder.online/docs/formBuilder/options/i18n/

appears the language files are not included in the installation

only the English is included to keep the package light. There are 28 languages but the most commonly used language is English. Including the other languages would add an additional 102.6kb to the package.

If it takes 5.8 seconds to load a 3.8kb language file, the additional languages would add over 2 to your load time.

where are these languages files, and can they be included in the package

The language files were moved to their own repo so they could be developed and published independently of formBuilder. They can be found in the following locations.

• repository: https://github.com/kevinchappell/formBuilder-languages
• npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/formbuilder-languages

so that using formBuilder doesn't require a network connection

English is hardcoded into the plugin and should work without internet:

The plugin still makes a request for the default language (English unless changed) incase the developer has set the i18n.location option and is expecting to load a custom default language from said location.
