Description

This option customizes where messages are retrieved from by message id. By default, messages are retrieved from an IBM i message file object. Specifying "json" retrieves them from a JSON message file within the Profound.js modules directory instead, which allows message-driven applications to run off-platform.

Example

msgFileType: "json"

JSON Message File Format

Each key is a message id. text is the first-level message text, second_level_text is the optional help text, and data describes the replacement variables referenced in the text:

{
  "MSG0001": {
    "text": "Completed Download Process &2. Job &1.",
    "second_level_text": "Processing job &1.",
    "data": {
      "&1": {
        "type": "char",
        "length": 28
      },
      "&2": {
        "type": "char",
        "varying": true,
        "length": 2
      }
    }
  },
  "MSG0002": {
    "text": "This is a simple message with no replacement data."
  }
}
