# ngx-translate-extract ## ngx-translate-extract
Extract translatable (ngx-translate) strings and save as a JSON or Gettext pot file. Extract translatable (ngx-translate) strings and save as a JSON or Gettext pot file.
Merges with existing strings if the output file already exists. Merges with existing strings if the output file already exists.
## Usage ### Usage
Install the package in your project: Install the package in your project:
`npm install @biesbjerg/ngx-translate-extract --save-dev` `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": { "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** **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** **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)** ### JSON indentation
Tabs are used by default for indentation when saving extracted strings in json formats:
## 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'`
If you want to use spaces instead, you can do the following: 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 ## 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 ```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: 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 _`
