Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

In Poedit

Go to File - Preferences... in Poedit and add a new parser in the Parsers tab:

Poedit parser configuration

Please note that in this Windows example you have to use xgettext-template.cmd. The .cmd extension should not be there on *nix platforms.

General workflow

In the following Handlebars example translatable content is passed to helpers (_ and ngettext):

<button>{{_ "Sign in"}}</button>

<p>{{count}} {{ngettext "country" "countries" count}}</p>

With Handlebars, this requires helpers being registered:

Handlebars.registerHelper('_', function(msgid) {
  return i18n.gettext(msgid);
});

Handlebars.registerHelper('ngettext', function(msgid, plural, count) {
  return i18n.ngettext(msgid, plural, count);
});

What this i18n object refers to is up to you. Some (client/server) options are:

xgettext-template parses the strings above out of your templates into gettext's PO files. These PO files are then translated and compiled to binary MO files using applications like Poedit. The MO files are passed as input the i18n library (above).

Development

  • Clone repository and run npm install.
  • Have your editor run eslint or run npm run lint to lint.
  • Run npm test to run tests.

Note

xgettext-template initial development was founded by Dijiwan.
