grunt-angular-translates

Language specific rendering of the templates for angular. The templates will be rendered in the $templateCache. The template will be added as much as languages files are set. The template path will be extended with the language file name before .json.

The plugin is created to not use any extra bindings in the angularJS app for translations. This will be executed before the templates are used. The problem I faced was that the translations for attributes had to use filters and i didn't want to use filters. The npm package grunt-angular-translates was born.

I've anybody has suggestions or bugs feel free to report these in github. The documentation will be updated on friday 3 juli 2015 for the full description of the features.

Example:

template: test_multiplelevels.html languages: ['en.json', 'nl.json']

Will result in en/test_multiplelevels.html and nl/test_multiplelevels.html

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-angular-translates --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-angular-translates');

The "angular_translate" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named angular_translate to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  multpleTemplates: {
    src: ['test/templates/test_multiplelevels.html', 'test/templates/template.html'],
    languages: ['test/resources/en.json', 'test/resources/nl.json'],
    dest: 'tmp/custom_multipleTemplates.js',
    options: {
      module: 'customModuleName'
    }
  }
});

Make sure the name of the languages file is unique. This will be used during the rendering in the template path.

Options

options.separator

Type: String Default value: ', '

A string value that is used to do something with whatever.

options.punctuation

Type: String Default value: '.'

A string value that is used to do something else with whatever else.

Usage Examples

Default Options

In this example, the default options are used to do something with whatever. So if the testing file has the content Testing and the 123 file had the content 1 2 3, the generated result would be Testing, 1 2 3.

grunt.initConfig({
  angular_translate: {
    src: ['test/templates/test_multiplelevels.html', 'test/templates/template.html'],
    languages: ['test/resources/en.json', 'test/resources/nl.json'],
    dest: 'tmp/custom_multipleTemplates.js',
    options: { }
  }
});

Custom Options

In this example, custom options are used to do something else with whatever else. So if the testing file has the content Testing and the 123 file had the content 1 2 3, the generated result in this case would be Testing: 1 2 3 !!!

grunt.initConfig({
  angular_translate: {
      src: ['test/templates/test_multiplelevels.html', 'test/templates/template.html'],
      languages: ['test/resources/en.json', 'test/resources/nl.json'],
      dest: 'tmp/custom_multipleTemplates.js',
      options: { 
        module: 'yourModuleName'
      }
    }
});
