Generate translation json files for vue-i18n

This is a forked project of webpack-i18n-generate-json which we love and recommend. This was made to cater to our own workflow where we want to support vue-i18n's Locale messages syntax. Right now it will only work with nested objects like $('message.hello') and not $('errors[0]')

Planned features

• Support for arrays like $('errors[0]')
• Ability to import/export csv and yml files to make it easier to work with translators

Basic Example

Install

npm i @code-ninja/i18n-lang-generator --save-dev or yarn add @code-ninja/i18n-lang-generator

package.json

  scripts: {
    "i18n-lang-generator": "i18n-lang-generator -d src -l 'en-US'"
  }

Run

1. add a script (see example package.json)
2. npm run i18n-lang-generator

App code

  <form>
    <p>{{ $t('Hello') }}</p>
    <button type="submit">{{ $t('button.save') }}</button>
    <button type="reset">{{ $t('button.cancel') }}</span> // variable replacement
  </form>

Output translation json - send it to the translator. Regenerating it won't delete existing translations.

  {
    "Hello":"Hello",
    "button": {
      "save": "save",
      "cancel": "cancel"
    }
  }  

Options

• -d, -directory, default [cwd]
• -b, -base directory, default [none]
• -f, -functionName, default [\\$t]
• -o, -outputDirectory, default [lang]
• -l, -languages REQUIRED, default [none]
• -x, -deleteExpired, default [false] : deletes unused translations
• -r, -forceReWrite, default [false]: rewrites malformed json files
