Embedded resource files (Resx)

The package TechTolk.Sources.Resx adds extension methods to load translations from embedded resource files. You can register a source by a type or via a basename and an assembly.

The resource files should be named in the format: {name}.{divider-key}.resx.

services.AddTechTolk()
    //.ConfigureDividers(...)
    .AddTranslationSet("MyResxSet", set => {
        
        // From resx files belonging to a type,
        // which are resource files with the same name as the type
        set.FromResource<MyResource>();

        // or

        // From a type name with the full namespace and the assembly containing 
        // the resource files
        set.FromResource("MyApplication.Resources.MyResource", typeof(MyApplication.SomeType).Assembly);
    });

Tip

You can use an extension method to keep the translation set registration short.

services.AddTechTolk()
    //.ConfigureDividers(...)
    .AddTranslationSetFromResource<MyResource>();

    // (Can later be requested by resolving ITolk<MyResource> from the service provider)

Warning

Be aware that you cannot register a resource source by a type tag (.FromResource<T>()) when using dividers other than CultureInfo. It will throw an exception.

This has to do with how the embedded resource files are loaded internally. When using the CultureInfo.Name as divider keys, like 'nl-NL' or 'en-US', a System.Resources.ResourceManager is used, otherwise Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream() in combination with a System.Resources.ResourceReader is used.
