grunt-slick-localization

This plugin was a base of the grunt-swig-localization. It was modified to work in combination with this custom localization build to create seperate directories based on generated handlebar templates.

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-slick-localization --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-slick-localization');

The "slick_localization" task

Overview

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

This project will combine html files with json data models. Once combined, it will output directories with all templates within them.

This plugin is used in combination with the assemble plugin. Assenmble takes handlebar templates and code and generates html files. Handlebars uses a format that looks like {{ sometag }} . Since we need to use assemble first we need to put our localized strings in the html in a different way. Thus, you will see below the templates string usage of [[ sometag ]] .

##Example of json template in directory 'localization_data':

about--en.json { "about": "about" }

about--span.json { "about": "sobre" }

index--en.json { "hello": "hello" }

index--span.json { "hello": "hola" }

##Example of html template in directory 'dist/_core':

index.html

[[ hello ]]

about.html

[[ about ]]

grunt.initConfig({
  slick_localization: {
      main: {
        src: ['dist/_core/*.html', 'localization_data/*.json'],
              outputDir: 'dist/builds/', //output of the files and folders
              templateDir: 'dist/_core/', //directory where the html templates are located
              templateDataDir: 'localization_data', //directory where the template data exists.
              localizationBuilds: ['en','fr','span'] //a data array of the directories the system will generate all template files to.
      }
  }
});
