angular-translate-csv-to-json

A CLI build tool to generate JSON files required by Angular Translate from a single CSV file

Overview

This is a lightweight, dependency-free command line build tool that converts CSV/TSV files to JSON files Angular Translate can consume during runtime. This enables you to have a single table of translations containing all supported languages. This tool also supports namespacing, so keys like users.create.labelFirstName will produce a nested JSON structure.

Example CSV input

id | en | fr ----------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- users.create.labelFirstName | First Name | Prénom users.create.labelLastName | Last Name | Nom users.toastValidationEmailSentToUserEmail | Validation email sent to {{userEmail}} | E-mail de validation envoyé à {{userEmail}}

Example JSON output

English:

{
    "users": {
        "create": {
            "labelFirstName": "First Name",
            "labelLastName": "Last Name"
        },
        "toastValidationEmailSentToUserEmail": "Validation email sent to {{userEmail}}"
    }
}

French:

{
    "users": {
        "create": {
            "labelFirstName": "Prénom",
            "labelLastName": "Nom"
        },
        "toastValidationEmailSentToUserEmail": "E-mail de validation envoyé à {{userEmail}}"
    }
}

Note: Output JSON will not be pretty-printed as above, but compact.
