wp_set_script_translations usage not possible with wpackio script

[derweili]

WordPress 5.0 added the new wp_set_script_translations() for translating strings in JavaScript.

Read more here: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/11/09/new-javascript-i18n-support-in-wordpress/

Therefore the translation json files must be named like this (naming convention by WordPress):
${domain}-${locale}-${handle}.json

But because wpackio dynamically generates the handle, this is not possible.

I know there was a identifier config option to specify the handle in the past, but this was removed because of reasons I don't know much about. But I think we need this back.

Hello,

We now have this main_js_handle, to set the handle of the main JavaScript file.

@swashata oh great totally missed that. Are there any examples?
I don't get the difference between the main_js_handle and runtime_js_handle.

Both settings are not mentioned in the PHP API Docs yet.

Hi,

• main_js_handle The main JS file for your app.
• runtime_js_handle Is the webpack generated JS file that has code needed by the main JS (for eg, to dynamically import other modules).
