babel-jsxgettext

A tool like jsxgettext, but works for es6 + jsx that babel support.

I have a blog post explain my translation workflow in an Electron app with React + Babel.

Usage

$ npm install babel-jsxgettext --save-dev

API

var parser = require('babel-jsxgettext')

/**
 * The parser function
 * @param  {String}   input  The path to source JavaScript file
 * @param  {String}   output The path of the output PO file
 * @param  {String}   plugins Babel parser plugins, separate by `,`
 * @param  {Function} cb     The callback function
 */
parser(inputs, output, plugins, function (err) {
  if (err) throw err
  console.log('Job completed!')
})

Command line usage

Install globally with npm npm install babel-jsxgettext -g

Why

I'm Using Babel with React + JSX for most of my project, but there's no perfect and direct way to generate .po file from ES6 + JSX code(or from a directory).

acron-jsx support jsx but not all the feature I use in Babel(ES7 etc.,). So I grab the Babel parser and use it to generate .po file.
