Support different domains config at runtime

[existe-deja]

Describe the feature

One build to rule them all!
A good practice is to be able to deliver a project on a staging or prod environment just but changing some environment variables. It would be nice to have the ability to set the related domain for a locale at runtime level.

Additional information

• Would you be willing to help implement this feature?
• Could this feature be implemented as a module?

Final checks

• Read the contribution guide (The contribution guideline of nuxt-modules/i18n is compliant with Nuxt too).
• Check existing discussions and issues.

I also need this behavior and have a WIP patch. It allows overriding a locale's domain at runtime by setting the NUXT_PUBLIC_I18N_LOCALES_{locale}_DOMAIN environment variable.

I think I missed something in the setup or maybe it's not working at all.

When I build my project with an certain .env file, domain values are not updated when I run it with another .env file.

To reproduce:

1/ edit your /etc/hosts with at least the following content to be able to have different local domains

127.0.0.1	localhost local-dev-en local-dev-nl local-dev-ja local-prod-en local-prod-nl local-prod-ja

2/ clone the project https://stackblitz.com/edit/bobbiegoede-nuxt-i18n-starter-jvph93?file=.template.env and yarn dev with the following .env

NUXT_PUBLIC_I18N_LOCALES_EN_DOMAIN=local-dev-en:3000
NUXT_PUBLIC_I18N_LOCALES_NL_DOMAIN=local-dev-nl:3000
NUXT_PUBLIC_I18N_LOCALES_JA_DOMAIN=local-dev-ja:3000

Everything works fine, the domain is correctly mapped to the locale

3/ with the same .env file, yarn build and then run it with the .env
In Ubuntu I use this command set -a && source .env && set +a && node .output/server/index.mjs

Everything works fine as in dev mode.

4/ update the .env file with the following values

NUXT_PUBLIC_I18N_LOCALES_EN_DOMAIN=local-prod-en:3000
NUXT_PUBLIC_I18N_LOCALES_NL_DOMAIN=local-prod-nl:3000
NUXT_PUBLIC_I18N_LOCALES_JA_DOMAIN=local-prod-ja:3000

5/ run the previous build with the new values without rebuilding it
run set -a && source .env && set +a && node .output/server/index.mjs again.
The new domains are injected into the runtime config but not into the i18n module domain detection, it keeps the the env from the build time.

What am I missing? 🤔

I think it needs to be reopened or to provide a fully working project

I suspect this issue is not fixed.
I've opened a new ticket #2602
