gulp-i18next-conv

Convert po files into i18next compatible json files

Install

$ npm install --save-dev i18next-conv gulp-i18next-conv

Usage

If for example you have the following po files: locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/message.po and locale/jp/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po, then you can produce locale/en/messages.json and locale/jp/messages.json with the following task:

import gulp from 'gulp';
import i18next from 'gulp-i18next-conv';

gulp.task('locale-build', function() {
  // Backend locales
  return gulp.src('locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/*.po')
    .pipe(i18next())
    .pipe(jsonminify())
    .pipe(rename(path => path.dirname = path.dirname.replace('/LC_MESSAGES', '')))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('locale'));
});

Converting i18next json to gettext formats, po, pot and mo is supported too.

API

i18next({ determineLocale, gettextFormat, ...options })

determineLocale

Type: function(filename, contents) optional, default: filename => filename.split(path.sep)[0]

Function that can be used to determine the locale of the file being translated. Gets the relative path of the file, and its contents. By default it is the name of the first directory specified by a glob. For example, in the example above locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/*.po, the contents of the first * will be used as the locale name.

gettextFormat

Type: string, default: 'po'

When converting i18next json files into gettext format, you can use this option to decide whether to output mo, pot or po. It accepts only one of those 3 values.

options

Type: object, optional, default {}

Any remaining properties will be passed to the i18next-conv as options.

determineLocale

The default determineLocale, filename => filename.split(path.sep)[0], where path is the Node.js path module.
