Uncaught ReferenceError: Translator is not defined when using Webpack Encore

[ptyskju]

I am using Symfony 4.1 with installed Webpack Encore. Translator is properly imported by
var Translator = require('bazinga-translator');
but I am receiving that error in my console: Uncaught ReferenceError: Translator is not defined Translator is located correctly in app.js file.

Hello, try this

In base.html.twig add before main application javascript file

<script src="{{ asset('bundles/bazingajstranslation/js/translator.min.js') }}"></script>
<script src="{{ url('bazinga_jstranslation_js'  }}"></script>

<script src="{{ asset('build/app.js') }}"></script> <-- builded javascript file

In webpack.config.js add this

module.exports = Encore.getWebpackConfig();
module.exports.externals = [{
        'bazinga-translator': 'Translator'
    }
];

And compile

yarn encore production

Tip : To use the bundle with VueJs & Encore, add this line before new Vue : Vue.prototype.$translator = Translator; Now we can use {{ this.$translator.trans('string') }} in our components.

For me, simply adding bazinga-translator to the autoProvideVariables function call of the Encore object in file webpack.config.js, after extending base.html.twig as described by @dirmax, also did the job:

Encore.autoProvideVariables({
    'bazinga-translator': 'Translator'
})

I have the same error when I try SSR. I've already set autoProvideVariables and tried to conditionally load with if (typeof window === 'undefined') { const Translator = require('bazinga-translator'); }

Nothing worked so far. How should I fix that?

[degregar]

For now I've made a quick workaround:

1. Define new variable in the file I want to use Translator const TranslatorBackup = require('bazinga-translator');

2. Check if I have my old variable, if not, use new one: {typeof Translator === "undefined" ? TranslatorBackup.trans(item.value) : Translator.trans(item.value)}

I've tried to define it above the class I'm rendering this in, but it throws same errors.

If you don't mind dumping your languages, and loading ALL languages into your built file, then the following webpack works without any extra script tags in the twig templates.

// Load the Translator from the composer version
export const Translator = require('../../vendor/willdurand/js-translation-bundle/Resources/js/translator');
// Make it global
global.Translator = Translator;
// Load the default config
require('./bazinga/translations/config');
// Load each language here. When we add more languages, we need to add them here.
require('./bazinga/translations/en');

I'm using the dump command bin/console bazinga:js-translation:dump --format=js --merge-domains assets/js/bazinga to put the files in a useful spot for webpack, and to just dump out the JS versions (with merged domains to again shrink the folder structure)

For those interested, and thanks to other comments, I made it work in a separate component as described here: https://github.com/willdurand/BazingaJsTranslationBundle/issues/254#issuecomment-663666450

It allows to keep all the js managed by Webpack.

Thank you so much it's working ! I had Translator undefined in Symfony 6.2

There is just a parenthesis missing here <script src="{{ url('bazinga_jstranslation_js') }}"></script>

I run npm run watch and Translator is defined now, great!
