# 💿 Remix Starter
A Remix starter with intuitive defaults, like support for internationalization and localized URLs. Coming soon: Authentication and authorization, component documentation, and more!
> I built this in literally like 30 minutes to try out Remix. The amazing thing is that today, in 2022, Next.js still doesn't support localized URLs, and it took me a handful of minutes to set this up!
## Features
- 📕 Localized URLs by default
- 🌎 Dependency-free typed translation
- ...more coming soon!
### Localized URLs by default
Instead of going to `/` and `/about`, your users will always go to `/en-ch/` and `/en-ch/about` (in this example, the language is "English - Switzerland, or en-ch). This is an SEO and i18n best practice, so you have unique URLs based on the language of your content.
#### Redirection
Users will automatically by redirected to their language of choice. We parse the Accept-Language header and figure out the best language for the user.
#### Language selection
Users can manually select their preferred language. We remember this in a cookie.
#### Language recommendation
If your users have followed a link (say, on a search result) and have reached your site's version that we don't think is their preferred language, we show them a recommendation.
### Dependency-free typed translation
The [`app/data/i18n.json`](./app/data/i18n.json) contains all your translations. Don't worry, we never bundle the entire file; not even entire scopes — only the translations you actually use on a page are included, so your pages are always fast. You can generate this file using any i18n pipeline.
Screenshot of i18n.json file
First, list the keys you require on a route:
```ts
const i18nKeys = ["hello", "world"] as const;
```
Then, the `loader` function will fetch the translations in the current language:
```ts
const i18nKeys = ["hello", "world"] as const;
type I18nKeys = typeof i18nKeys[number];
type LoaderData = {
i18n: Record;
products: { name: string }[];
};
export let loader: LoaderFunction = (args): LoaderData => {
return {
i18n: loadTranslations(args.params.locale, i18nKeys),
products: [{ name: "Pants" }, { name: "Jacket" }],
};
};
```
Now consume the translations with full type support:
```ts
const { products, i18n } = useLoaderData();
```
## Development
From your terminal:
```sh
npm run dev
```
This starts your app in development mode, rebuilding assets on file changes.
## Deployment
First, build your app for production:
```sh
npm run build
```
Then run the app in production mode:
```sh
npm start
```
Now you'll need to pick a host to deploy it to.
### DIY
If you're familiar with deploying node applications, the built-in Remix app server is production-ready.
Make sure to deploy the output of `remix build`
- `build/`
- `public/build/`
### Using a Template
When you ran `npx create-remix@latest` there were a few choices for hosting. You can run that again to create a new project, then copy over your `app/` folder to the new project that's pre-configured for your target server.
```sh
cd ..
# create a new project, and pick a pre-configured host
npx create-remix@latest
cd my-new-remix-app
# remove the new project's app (not the old one!)
rm -rf app
# copy your app over
cp -R ../my-old-remix-app/app app
```
