Webpack i18n loader similar to require.js i18n plugin. The loader also support CommonJS module and `.json` files, and more, `.coffee` files.

## Install

```sh
npm install amdi18n-loader
```

## Usage

First look at require.js i18n plugin's docs [at here](http://requirejs.org/docs/api.html#i18n).

The language part is like this:

- `lang.js`
- `zh-cn/lang.js`
- `zh-hk/lang.js`

lang.js:

```javascript
define({
    // root means the common language package
    root:{
        HELLO:'hello'
    },
    // we have the language packages below:
    'zh-cn':true,
    'zh-hk':true
});
```

zh-cn/lang.js example:

```javascript
define({
    // please note: no wrapper object here!
    HELLO:'hello in zh-cn'
});
```

Then use it like this:

```javascript
define([
    'amdi18n-loader!lang'
],function(amdi18n){

    // By default, it will lookup `window._i18n.locale`,
    // If not found, it will try to use the html[lang] attribute,
    // For example: <html lang="en"> then language `en` was used,
    // If nothing found, `root` was used.
    // You can manully change the language by
    // `amdi18n.init(language)`;

    console.log(amdi18n.HELLO);


});
```

## Advanced Usage

You can pass queries to enable or disable some langs.

```javascript
// We use commonjs now. It matters nothing.
var lang = require('amdi18n-loader?enable=[zh-cn]!');

// It's not ok to use zh-hk now!
lang.init('zh-hk');
```

The code below behaviors the same:

```javascript
// We use commonjs now. It matters nothing.
// Notice: we use `|` to as separator,
// Because webpack will break the comma.
var lang = require('amdi18n-loader?disable=[zh-hk|en-us]!');

// It's not ok to use zh-hk now!
lang.init('zh-hk');
```

It's ok to use both `enable` and `disable`, but if any one disables a lang, the lang will not be usable. You can decide which to use by the length of list.
