pofile - gettext .po parsing for JavaScript

Parse and serialize Gettext PO files.

Usage

var PO = require('pofile');

PO.load('text.po', function (err, po) {
    // Handle err if needed
    console.log(po.headers);
    console.log(po.items);
  
    po.save('copy.po', function (err) {
        // Handle err if needed
        console.log('We copied a PO file for no reason!');
    });
});

Credits

Originally based on node-po (written by Michael Holly). Rebranded because node-po is unmaintained and because this library is no longer limited to Node.JS: it works in the browser too.

Changes compared to node-po

• Proper handling of async methods that won't crash your Node.JS process when something goes wrong.
• Support for parsing string flags (e.g. fuzzy).
• A test suite.
• Browser support (through Browserified and bower).

Migrating from node-po

You'll need to update the module reference: require('pofile') instead of require('node-po').

At the initial release, node-po and pofile have identical APIs, with one small exception: the save and load methods now take a callback that has an err parameter: (err) for save and (err, po) for load. This is similar to Node.JS conventions.

Change code such as:

PO.load('text.po', function (po) {

To:

PO.load('text.po', function (err, po) {
    // Handle err if needed
