gulp-i18n-update-localization-ids

Gulp task for updating i18n localization ids in html files.

npm i -D gulp-i18n-update-localization-ids

Usage

const i18nUpdateLocalizationIds = require('gulp-i18n-update-localization-ids');

const task = i18nUpdateLocalizationIds({
    // ...options...
});

The task is a transform stream that processes each file and emits updated files:

• For each tag that is whitelisted:
  • It is ensured that localizable content and attributes have unique id's by...
    • ...using existing ids,...
    • ...regererating duplicates ids (per file)...
    • ...or adding missing ids.
  • When the localized content or attribute is not present or empty, the localization id is removed.
• Throw an error if a non-whitelisted tag is already localized or has text content.
• Throw an error if a tag contains both text and non-text content.

options.whitelist

This option is required.
It defines a whitelist of tags and attributes that will be localized.

whitelist: [
    {tagName: 'h1'},
    {tagName: 'img', attrs: ['alt']},
    {tagName: 'custom-elem', attrs: ['title', 'subtitle'], content: 'html'}
]

• whitelist <array> - An array that contains objects with the following properties:
  • tagName <string> - The tag name.
  • attrs <iterable> - An iterable of attribute names to localize.
  • content - Specify how tag content is localized:
    • 'html' - Localize content as html.
    • 'text' - Localize content as text. This is the default if tagName does not contain a hyphen.
    • false - Don't localize content. This is the default if tagName contains a hyphen.

options.ignore

Optional. Specify what parts of a html fragment are ignored.
Matching parts will not be modified or checked against errors.

ignore: [
    // Ignore content that matches "ignore me":
    {content: 'ignore me'},

    // Ignore content like "${foo.bar}":
    {content: v => v.startsWith('${') && v.endsWith('}')},

    // Ignore <code> tags and all children:
    {tagName: 'code'}
]

• ignore <IgnoreItem> - This can be any of the following:
  • <array> - An array of ignore items.
  • <object> - An object with the following properties:
    • content <Rule> - Ignore tag text content if it matches the rule.
    • tagName <Rule> - Ignore a tag and it's subtree if it matches the rule.
• <Rule> can be one of the following:
  • <string> - If the value matches the specified one.
  • <function> - If the function returns true for the value.
  • <RegExp> - If the value matches the specified regexp. This is not recommended!

options.emit

Optional. Control when to emit output files.

emit: 'always'

• 'always' - Default. Emit always.
• 'onChangeOnly' - Emit only if the file was modified by the plugin. Choose this value, if you are using this plugin to overwrite files that you are currently working with.

options.idTemplate = x => 't' + x

Optional. A function to generatea new id.

idTemplate: x => `foo-${x}`

// Will produce id's like: foo-0, foo-1, ...

• x <number> - A number that should be included in the id.
• returns <string> - Any string matching /^[a-z0-9_.-]+$/.

options.keyAttribute = 't'

Optional. Specify the attribute for storing localization keys.

options.encoding = 'utf8'

Optional. Specify the encoding to use for de- and encoding files.

options.LocalizationKey

Optional. Specify the class that represents a localization key.
The class must implement all members of the default one located in /lib/localization-key.js.

Example

The following example will watch and process your html files during development.
You should be using an editor that reloads the file when it changes like vs code.

const gulp = require('gulp');
const i18nUpdateLocalizationIds = require('gulp-i18n-update-localization-ids');

exports.watch = () => gulp.watch(['./src/**.html'], () => {
    return gulp.src('./src/**.html')
        .pipe(i18nUpdateLocalizationIds({
            emit: 'onChangeOnly',
            whitelist: [
                {tagName: 'h1'},
                {tagName: 'img', attrs: ['alt']},
                {tagName: 'custom-elem', attrs: ['title'], content: 'html'}
            ],
            ignore: [
                {content: v => v.startsWith('${') && v.endsWith('}')}
            ],
            idTemplate: x => `foo-${x}`
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('./src'));
});

If you run gulp watch and save the following file...

<template>
    <h1>Hello World!</h1>

    <img t="[alt]foo-0" alt="Some image..">

    <custom-elem t="[title]foo" title="Copy"></custom-elem>
    <custom-elem t="[title]foo" title="and">paste</custom-elem>

    <h1>${example.localizedTitle}</h1>
</template>

...it will be transformed into this:

<template>
    <h1 t="[text]foo-1">Hello World!</h1>

    <img t="[alt]foo-0" alt="Some image..">

    <custom-elem t="[title]foo" title="Copy"></custom-elem>
    <custom-elem t="[title]foo-2;[html]foo-3" title="and">paste</custom-elem>

    <h1>${example.localizedTitle}</h1>
</template>
