bug: object converted to array! about locize-cli

[jamuhl]

The reason for this is that numbers are considered to be index in array (that is a normal behaviour you get when using flatten/unflatten)

{
  "key": ['a', 'b']
}

will become

{
  "key.0": 'a',
  "key.1": 'b'
}

to avoid this behavior just add one key not being a numeral like:

{ "foo": { "100": "bar", "avoidIt": " " } }

results in and will get converted back correctly

{
  "key.100": 'bar',
  "key.avoidIt": ' '
}

10000 is not supported as we check for the array length...and some point we say there must be an error -> no one fills a translation array with over 10000 items.

I see, so flat and unflat are not proper inverses of each other :( Thanks, I will work around it.

not a 100% but that is a tradeoff: https://www.npmjs.com/package/flat

we at least extended it to make it an object if there is one non numeral value. In most cases that works fine eg having something like:

{
  errors: {
    default: 'something went wrong',
    400: 'page not found',
    ....
  }
}
