Use angular.merge instead of angular.extend?

[sibbl]

Hi all,

I do have quite nested translation objects in different files, i.e.:

{ "generic": { "hello": "world" } }

and

{ "generic": { "foo": "bar" } }

In the current version, only "foo.bar" is available as angular.extend is used. It extends the translation object on the first level, so "generic" is replaced in this case.

Which drawbacks would angular.extend have? If it's backwards compatibility, one could fall back to angular.merge if angular.extend is not available.

Hey.

As a workaround you could try a flat json file maybe ?

{
  'a.b.c': 'example',
  'a.b.d': 'example2'
}
