grunt-crowdin-net

Grunt plugin for accessing the Crowdin API

Disclaimer

This is an unofficial API client library. Crowdin and the Crowdin API are the property of Crowdin, LLC.

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-crowdin-net --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-crowdin-net');

The "crowdin" task

Overview

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

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

Options

options.apiKey (REQUIRED)

Type: String

Your Crowdin API key.

options.endpointUrl (REQUIRED)

Type: String

The Crowdin endpoint URL for your project.

options.extract

Type: String

The directory to extract translations files to.

options.writeConfig

Type: String or Object

The config file (JSON) to write the list (Array) of available languages codes.

It can be set as an Object accepting the following options:

• src: Config file to read.
• dest: Config file to write. Defaults to src value if not set.
• key: Name of the key containing the available languages. Defaults to languages.
• tmpl: Template file to apply, using grunt.template.process. The src data (JSON) will be extended by the key and passed to the tmpl template as the config variable, before being written to dest. See example below.

Usage Example

Simple example

grunt.initConfig({
    crowdin: {
        default: {
            options: {
                apiKey: '36d53ad244654f0d9f6198d53b781b76', // Your Crowdin API key - must be set
                endpointUrl: 'http://api.crowdin.net/api/project/<your-project>', // Your Crowdin project endpoint URL - must be set
                extract: 'data/i18n',
                writeConfig: 'config/i18n.json'
            }
        }
    }
});

Assuming your project contains en_GB and en_US languages, using the above configuration will create the files data/i18n/en_GB.json and data/i18n/en_US.json with the languages keys/values, and create/update config/i18n.json with the following contents:

{
    "languages": [
        "en_GB",
        "en_US"
    ]
}

Customized config

// Gruntfile.js
grunt.initConfig({
    crowdin: {
        default: {
            options: {
                apiKey: '36d53ad244654f0d9f6198d53b781b76',
                endpointUrl: 'http://api.crowdin.net/api/project/<your-project>',
                writeConfig: {
                    src: 'config/i18n.json',
                    key: 'available_languages'
                    tmpl: 'config/template.js',
                    dest: 'build/config.js'
                }
            }
        }
    },
});
 
// config/i18n.json
{
    "default_language": "en",
    "json_url": "/data/i18n"
}
 
// config/template.js
var config = {
    env: "dev",
    i18n: <%= config %>
};
 
// Resulting build/config.js
var config = {
    env: "dev",
    i18n: {
        "available_languages": [
            "en_GB",
            "en_US"
        ],
        "default_language": "en",
        "json_url": "/data/i18n"
    }
};
