17 April:

  • Release of the Armenian language
    -> Challenges and changes
    • The logic for displaying content was very simple: if the language is English, then show the English content; otherwise, show the Russian content
    • There were custom objects or arrays where each entry had 2 versions, for example, title En and title Ru. The data would come from the backend as a single array, and then it would be manually duplicated into another structure to separate English and Russian.
      I had to remove all these custom-made arrays/objects and rewrite the logic. Instead of keeping multiple arrays, I started passing the language key directly alongside the data. For example, biases[‘en’]. This makes things easier, and later, if we add a new language, we won’t face such difficulties.
    • Typescript issues - The Language parameter (locale) was declared separately inside every file, page, and component. And its type was declared inside the file (locale = en or ru). Ideally, shareable type should be written inside one file and shared across the project. In this case, if something changes, we change from one place instead of going over every page and getting scared of build errors.
    • SVG of Core View Layout - For the Armenian language, I had to change coordinates and position of every bias and its p and m labels.
      Many functionalities were originally built wth only English and Russian in mind. Features like the search field on UX Core (both core and folder views), UXCG, and even the copy/share link functions broke when Armenian was added.
      Note: I’ve kept the logic of showing Russian or English in cases where we don’t have the Armenian language.
  • Added URLS on UX Core and UXCG + Redirect logic from old URL to new URL
  • Next.js version upgrade from 12.1.5 to 13
    Here are some changes I noticed with this update:
    • Locale detection is no longer supported in i18n, so I had to write a custom middleware (alternatively, I could have changed the structure of the project, but that would take too much time and would bring more challenges).
    • The alt attribute is now OFFICIALLY required for images in Next.js.🖼
    • Link tags no longer support wrapping other tags inside of them.
    • Stricter ESLint rules and a more aggressive Strict Mode that causes more frequent re-renders.
    • Node.js version 13 is no longer supported. It's strongly recommended to use version 18.x (LTS) instead, so we'll be using that.
  • Redesign of the Language switcher. Plus, added Armenian language to it.
