how to use i18next in sailsjs

we are using handlebar to render the view and now must use i18next lib to render the translated pages in our sailsjs backend but i could not find any example on how to integrate i18next in sailsjs and use it in my template.

i am aware that there is i18next-http-middleware but i could not get my head around how to integrate it with sailsjs (very new to sailsjs) and official docs of i18next also does not have any example.

i was able to make it work with Built-in HTTP middleware configuration by adding a new middleware function in order array and initializing the i18next in the provided functions.

// config/http.js

const i18next = require("i18next"),
  middleware = require("i18next-http-middleware"),
  i18nConfig = require("./i18n").i18n;

module.exports.http = {
  middleware: {
    order: ["i18n", "...other middlewares"],

    i18n: (function () {
      i18next.use(middleware.LanguageDetector).init(i18nConfig);

      return middleware.handle(i18next, {});
    })(),
  },
};
