GoogleCloudTranslationAPI

Getting Started

If you only need to use the Google Cloud Translation API, then this guide will help you get started.

In your Package.swift file, make sure you have the following dependencies and targets

dependencies: [
        //...
        .package(url: "https://github.com/vapor-community/google-cloud.git", from: "1.0.0"),
    ],
    targets: [
        .target(name: "MyAppName", dependencies: [
            //...
            .product(name: "CloudTranslation", package: "google-cloud"),
        ]),
    ]

Now you can setup the configuration for any GCP API globally via Application.

In configure.swift

 import CloudTranslation
 
 app.googleCloud.credentials = try GoogleCloudCredentialsConfiguration(projectId: "myprojectid-12345",
 credentialsFile: "~/path/to/service-account.json")

Next we setup the CloudTranslation API configuration (specific to this API).

app.googleCloud.translation.configuration = .default()

Now we can start using the GoogleCloudTranslation API There's a handy extension on Request that you can use to get access to a translation client via a property named gcTranslation.

func translateText(_ req: Request) throws -> EventLoopFuture<String> {    
    req.gcTranslation.translate(text: "Hello World", source: "en", target: "es")
    .map { $0.data.translations.first!.translatedText! // returns the spanish translation }
}
