grunt-twig-gettext

Extract i18n string from Twig templates

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

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-twig-gettext --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-twig-gettext');

The "twig_gettext" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named twig_gettext to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  twig_gettext: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    }
  }
});

Options

options.charset

Type: String Default value: 'ASCII'

The character set for the .po file.

options.encoding

Type: String Default value: '8bit'

The content transfer encoding for the .po file.

Usage Examples

Default Options

Extract translatable strings from all Twig templates in a directory and its subdirectories:

grunt.initConfig({
  twig_gettext: {
    options: {},
    your_target: {
        files: {
          'dest/domain.po': ['src/**/*.twig', 'dist/**/*.twig'],
        }
    }
  }
});

Custom Options

Input/output in UTF-8:

grunt.initConfig({
  twig_gettext: {
    options: {
      charset: 'UTF-8'
    },
    your_target: {
        files: {
          'dest/domain.po': ['src/**/*.twig'],
        }
    }
  },
});

Notes/caveats

• You should use tools like msgcat and msguniq to combine the generated .po file with translations extract from other sources (Javascript, PHP etc.) into a .pot file to use as a template.
• This Grunt task does not do any validation on the supplied Twig templates, so it's up to you to pass something valid.

Contributing

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
