grunt-lingua

Grunt plugin for lingua tooling, xgettext extraction for Angular.js to .pot and generating .json from .po files.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1

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-lingua --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-lingua');

Dependencies

You need Python (only tested with 2.x) and the pybabel and jinja2 modules installed.

The "lingua" task

Overview

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

grunt.initConfig({
  lingua: {
    extract: {
      potDest: 'messages.pot', // dest path must exist
      scanDirs: ['.'] // array of directories to scan
    },
    po2json: {
      outPrefix: 'l_', // prefix on dest .json files (will be named from .po)
      src: ['*.po'],
      dest: ''
    }
  },
})
