stringlocale 0.4.0

Declare strings with typed params, compile to offline locale bundles with an LLM, and resolve by locale at runtime. Axis-model i18n for Dart and Flutter.

Changelog

0.4.0

• LLM drafting and runtime userAdapted adaptation now work with any OpenAI-compatible /chat/completions endpoint (OpenRouter, OpenAI, Groq, Together, local Ollama/LM Studio, etc.), not just OpenRouter.
  • New LlmDrafter (generic) exported alongside the existing OpenRouterDrafter, which remains as a backward-compatible subclass.
  • New config via STRINGLOCALE_API_KEY, STRINGLOCALE_BASE_URL, and STRINGLOCALE_MODEL (with OPENROUTER_* kept as fallbacks).
  • CLI: new --drafter llm mode and --base-url option.

0.3.0

Initial public release.

Core Dart API (package:stringlocale/stringlocale.dart)

• StringLocale — declare a localizable string with a source text, a stable id, and typed Param descriptors. Instances auto-register and resolve via StringLocale.resolve().
• Param factories covering every param kind:
  • Param.literal() — pass-through string
  • Param.user() — free-text pass-through (unformatted)
  • Param.number() — locale digit conversion
  • Param.date() — CLDR date formatting (short / medium / long / full)
  • Param.currency() — locale currency formatting with ISO 4217 code
  • Param.relative() — relative-time formatting ("3 days ago")
  • Param.translatable() — closed enum axis; values pre-translated at compile time and substituted at runtime (fully offline)
  • Param.plural() — CLDR plural axis (one / other / few / many / zero)
  • Param.userAdapted() — free prose reformatted per locale by an LLM adapter at runtime; falls back to the source value offline
• Bundle — runtime bundle loaded from compiled JSON; supports resolve (sync) and resolveAsync (async, for userAdapted params). Locale data can be merged incrementally via Bundle.merge().
• Bundle.fromDir() / Bundle.fromJsonString() — load from a compiled directory (via an injected FileReader) or a raw JSON string.
• load() — convenience wrapper that reads a compiled directory with dart:io and sets it as the active bundle.
• Library-level helpers: setLocale, getLocale, useBundle, currentBundle, getRegistry, clearRegistry.
• UserAdaptedMode.cached (default) caches adapter results keyed by (value, locale, context); UserAdaptedMode.realtime always calls the adapter.
• Axis model: multi-dimensional cross-product templates (e.g. gender × plural). Required axes are validated at resolve time.
• CLDR plural rules generated for all supported locales.

Flutter API (package:stringlocale/flutter.dart)

• StringLocaleScope — InheritedWidget that holds the active locale and bundle; rebuilds descendants on locale change.
• Tr — sync widget that renders a StringLocale in the scope's current locale. Accepts an optional builder for custom styling.
• AsyncTr — async widget backed by a FutureBuilder; required for strings with userAdapted params. Re-resolves automatically on locale or args change.
• tr() / trAsync() — imperative helpers for use outside the widget tree (snackbars, dialogs, etc.).

CLI (stringlocale executable)

• stringlocale compile — calls an LLM (OpenRouter by default) to produce compiled locale bundles from registered StringLocale declarations.
• stringlocale check — validates that all strings compile cleanly and that params match their declarations.
• stringlocale prune — removes stale string entries from existing bundle files that are no longer referenced in source.

Default OpenRouter adapter

• On Dart VM and Flutter desktop/mobile, if OPENROUTER_API_KEY is set in the process environment or passed via --dart-define, a built-in async adapter is wired automatically for userAdapted params.
• Model defaults to google/gemini-2.5-flash; override with OPENROUTER_MODEL.
• macOS apps require com.apple.security.network.client in entitlements to allow outbound HTTP to OpenRouter.
