# I18n lazy lookup generator (for Rails 3)

## WTF lazy lookup?

+ Rails has a way called "Lazy Lookup" in i18n.

+ it gives us a convenient way to look up the locale inside views.

See when you have the following yaml:

    es:

      books:

        index:

          title: "Foo"

You can look up the books.index.title value inside

    app/views/books/index.html.erb template like this (note the dot):

    <%= t '.title' %>

Also, Rails [recommends](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/i18n.html#organization-of-locale-files) to organize of locale files:

    |-views

    |---books

    |-----es.rb

    |-----en.rb

    |---users

    |-----es.rb

    |-----en.rb

    |---navigation

    |-----es.rb

    |-----en.rb

## Usage

`i18n_lazy_lookup:generate` generates files with controller name

    $ rails g i18n_lazy_lookup:generate

          create  config/locales/views

          create  config/locales/views/comments

          create  config/locales/views/comments/en.yml

          create  config/locales/views/comments/ja.yml

          create  config/locales/views/posts

          create  config/locales/views/posts/en.yml

          create  config/locales/views/posts/ja.yml

If file exists, it leaves.

    $ r g i18n_lazy_lookup:generate

           exist  config/locales/views

           exist  config/locales/views/comments

       identical  config/locales/views/comments/en.yml

       identical  config/locales/views/comments/ja.yml

           exist  config/locales/views/posts

       identical  config/locales/views/posts/en.yml

       identical  config/locales/views/posts/ja.yml

You can specify controller and action names with `i18n_lazy_lookup`

    $ r g i18n_lazy_lookup foo index show

       exist  config/locales/views

      create  config/locales/views/foo

      create  config/locales/views/foo/en.yml

      create  config/locales/views/foo/ja.yml

YAML will be like as below `config/locales/views/foo/ja.yml`

    ja:

      foo:

        index:

        show:

The default locale is `en`, but you can overide it in `config/application.rb`

    # Customize generators

    config.generators do |g|

      g.locales %w(en ja)

    end

## TODO

+ Create controller and scaffold hooks.

+ Add spec. also fixing code as well.

+ Create inheritance file. (eg: default)
