# Usage
# ngx-translate-extract
## ngx-translate-extract
Extract translatable (ngx-translate) strings and save as a JSON or Gettext pot file.
Merges with existing strings if the output file already exists.
## Usage
### Usage
Install the package in your project:
`npm install @biesbjerg/ngx-translate-extract --save-dev`
Add an `extract` script to your project's `package.json`:
```
Add a script to your project's `package.json`:
```json
...
"scripts": {
"extract": "ngx-translate-extract --input ./src --output ./src/assets/i18n/ --clean --sort --format namespaced-json"
"extract-i18n": "ngx-translate-extract --input ./src --output ./src/assets/i18n/ --clean --sort --format namespaced-json"
}
...
```
You can now run `npm run extract` to extract strings.
You can now run `npm run extract-i18n` and it will extract strings from your project.
## Extract examples
### Examples
**Extract from dir and save to file**
`ngx-translate-extract -i ./src -o ./src/i18n/strings.json`
`ngx-translate-extract --input ./src --output ./src/assets/i18n/template.json`
**Extract from multiple dirs**
`ngx-translate-extract -i ./src/folder-a ./src/folder-b -o ./src/i18n/strings.json`
`ngx-translate-extract --input ./src-a ./src-b --output ./src/assets/i18n/template.json`
**Extract and save to multiple files**
`ngx-translate-extract -i ./src -o ./src/i18n/{da,en,fr}.json`
**Extract and save to multiple files using path expansion**
**or**
_Note: This method does not work on Windows!_
`ngx-translate-extract -i ./src -o ./src/i18n/da.json ./src/i18n/en.json ./src/i18n/fr.json`
`ngx-translate-extract --input ./src --output ./src/i18n/{da,en}.json`
**or (update only)**
On Windows you must specify each output destination individually:
`ngx-translate-extract -i ./src -o ./src/i18n/*.json`
`ngx-translate-extract --input ./src --output ./src/i18n/da.json ./src/i18n/en.json`
**or (update only)**
## Custom indentation
By default, tabs are used for indentation when writing extracted strings to json formats:
`ngx-translate-extract -i ./src -o ./src/i18n/en.json --format-indentation $'\t'`
### JSON indentation
Tabs are used by default for indentation when saving extracted strings in json formats:
If you want to use spaces instead, you can do the following:
`ngx-translate-extract -i ./src -o ./src/i18n/en.json --format-indentation ' '`
`ngx-translate-extract --input ./src --output ./src/i18n/en.json --format-indentation ' '`
## Mark strings for extraction using a marker function
If, for some reason, you want to extract strings not passed directly to TranslateService, you can wrap them in a custom marker function.
If, for some reason, you want to extract strings not passed directly to `TranslateService`'s `get()` or `instant()` methods, you can wrap them in a custom marker function to let `ngx-translate-extract` know you want to extract them.
Install marker function:
`npm install @biesbjerg/ngx-translate-extract-marker`
```ts
import { _ } from '@biesbjerg/ngx-translate-extract';
import { marker } from '@biesbjerg/ngx-translate-extract-marker';
_('Extract me');
marker('Extract me');
```
Add the `marker` argument when running the extract script:
`ngx-translate-extract ... -m _`
`ngx-translate-extract ... -m extract`
Modify the scripts arguments as required.
You can alias the marker function if needed:
```ts
import { marker as _ } from '@biesbjerg/ngx-translate-extract-marker';
_('Extract me');
```
`ngx-translate-extract ... -m _`
