ng2-translate-extract

Extract strings from projects using ng2-translate to json or pot files.

THIS IS STILL VERY MUCH A WORK IN PROGRESS

Usage

If you only need to extract strings from one project, you can install the package locally:

npm install @biesbjerg/ng2-translate-extract --save-dev

Add the following extract script your project's package.json:

"scripts": {
  "extract": "ng2-translate-extract --dir ./src --output ./ --format=json"
}

You can now run npm run extract to extract strings from your project's src dir. The extracted strings are saved in JSON-format in your project's root.

Modify the scripts arguments as required.

Global install

You can also install the package globally:

npm install @biesbjerg/ng2-translate-extract -g

Now you can execute the script from everywhere:

ng2-translate-extract --dir /extract/from/this/dir --output /save/to/this/dir --format json --merge --clean
