A missing or extra curly brace in a translation value, e.g. "Created by { first }} {{ last }}", only surfaced at runtime as an opaque parser SyntaxError. The validator now walks every string value and fails when the { and } counts don't match, naming the file and the key path.

Closes #493

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Translation validation now detects unbalanced interpolation or ICU braces in nested objects and arrays.
    • Error messages identify the affected translation key and value.
    • Valid translations with properly balanced braces continue to pass validation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The translation validator now parses translation data into an object and recursively checks string values for mismatched curly braces. Tests cover object keys, nested paths, array paths, balanced interpolation, ICU braces, and plain text.

Changes

Translation brace validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Recursive brace validation
libs/transloco-validator/src/lib/transloco-validator.ts
The validator retains the parsed translation object and recursively checks strings in objects and arrays. It reports offending key paths and values when brace counts differ.
Brace validation test coverage
libs/transloco-validator/src/lib/transloco-validator.spec.ts
Tests cover missing and extra braces, nested object paths, array paths, balanced interpolation and ICU braces, and plain text.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fb78c

The validator may report an ambiguous key path for translation keys containing dots, brackets, or empty segments, which could make invalid entries harder to locate. The change remains mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to make key paths unambiguous.

Make key paths unambiguous.

At Line 57, raw object keys are joined with .. Distinct entries such as "a.b" and { a: { b: ... } } produce the same path. Keys such as "list[1]" also collide with array paths, and an empty key is lost. Quote or escape object-key segments, then add tests for dotted, bracketed, and empty keys.
