grunt-po-json

Converts one or more po files to a single json or amd module.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.2

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-po-json --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-po-json');

The "po_json" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named po_json to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig(). You must specify a target in which you can add options and files.

grunt.initConfig({
  po_json: {
    target: {
      files: {
        'path/to/dest.json': 'path/to/src.po'
      }
    },
    targetMultiple: {
      options : {
        amd: true
      },
      files: {
        'path/to/dest2.js': {
          'src2': 'path/to/src2.json',
          'src3': 'path/to/src3.json'
        }
      }
    }
  },
});

Options

options.amd

Type: Boolean Default value: false

Wraps the result in a define( ); call so you can use it as an amd module. You probably want your dest path to end with .js instead of .json.

Files

files[property]

Type String|Object

Each property of the files object can be a string path to a .po file, or an object of properties with string paths to .po files. In case of an object, the output file will have the output of each .po file under their respective property names.

Usage Examples

Default Options

This example processes two .po files and puts them in two separate .json files.

grunt.initConfig({
  po_json: {
    target: {
      files: {
        'path/to/dest1.json': 'path/to/src1.po'
        'path/to/dest2.json': 'path/to/src2.po'
      }
    },
  },
});

Custom Options

This example processes two .po files and puts them in a single .js file. It also turns it in an (anonymous) amd module. When used, the conversion results are accessible via obj.src1 and obj.src2.

grunt.initConfig({
  po_json: {
    options: {
      amd: true
    },
    target: {
      files: {
        'path/to/dest.js': {
          'src1': 'path/to/src1.po',
          'src2': 'path/to/src2.po'
        }
      }
    }
  },
});
