Options:
  -V, --version           output the version number
  -c, --config <config>   Path to the config file (default:
                          "./i18n-validate.json")

  Examples:

    $ i18next-validate "/path/to/src/app.js"
    $ i18next-validate --config i18n-validate-custom.json 'src/**/*.{js,jsx}'
    $ i18next-validate --exclude "**/node_modules/**" "src/**/*.{js,jsx}"

Note: Currently, i18n-validate supports typescript and javascript (including tsx and jsx) source files and json translation files only.

Ignoring function or file

You can ignore a specific function by adding // i18n-validate-disable-next-line comment before the function call or ignore all the functions in a file by adding /* i18n-validate-disable */ comment at the top of the file.

Dynamic keys

For dynamic keys, we check the typescript type of the key. If the type is a const type, the type is used as the key. Otherwise, the key is ignored. Type can be an union type or a literal type.

For ts files

const a = 'namespace:key1';

t(a);

const b = `namespace:${b}` as const;

t(b);

t(`namespace:${b}` as const);

declare const c: 'namespace:key3' | 'namespace:key4';

t(c);

For js files

/**
 * @type {'a:key5' | 'a:key6'}
 */
const d = `a:${b}`;

t(d);

const e = /** @type {'a:key7' | 'a:key8'} */ (`a:${b}`);

t(e);

Use with lint-staged

{
	"lint-staged": {
		"*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}": ["i18n-validate"]
	}
}

Configuration

You can customize the behavior of i18n-validate by adding a i18n-validate.json file to the root of your project.

{
	"$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/imranbarbhuiya/i18n-validate/main/.github/i18n-validate.schema.json"
}

Note: You can also use js, cjs or mjs file and with any name you want. Just make sure to pass the path of the config file to i18n-validate using --config option.

/**
 * @type {import('i18n-validate').Options}
 */
module.exports = {
	// ...
};
