Custom request function for missing translations

[Mottoweb]

🚀 Feature Proposal

There is a possibility to define a custom request function for getting the translations but looks like there is no such param for adding a missing translation. A feature would define a custom add missing functions that would be called when a missing translation found, just like a custom request,

Motivation

My project uses typed api helpers generated from open API spec, so it makes sense to use API methods provided rather than configuring request options by hand.

Example

request: (
    payload,
    callback: RequestCallback,
  ) :void => {
    const {lng, ns, key} = payload;
    const params: addMissingParameters = {
      lng,
      ns,
      key,
    };
    addMissing(params).then(({ status, data }) => {
      const response: RequestResponse = {
        status,
        data: JSON.stringify(data?.[0]?.namespaces?.[0]?.values),
      };
      callback(null, response);
    }).catch((error: AxiosError) => callback(error, { status: error?.response?.status || 500, data: '' }));
  },

i18next has a missingKeyHandler: https://www.i18next.com/overview/configuration-options#missing-keys This may help.

btw: the passed in custom request function is also called for missing requests, you may just check if it is a POST or a GET request

There are workarounds for sure yes, I could use I onMissing callback as well, just thought it makes sense to have it in the backend options.

I will check your 'btw' now thanks :)
