grunt-wording

A grunt plugin to help you auto generate wordings in your application.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

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-wording --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-wording');

The "wording" task

Overview

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

grunt.initConfig({
  wording: {
    compiled {
      options: {
        // Task-specific options go here.
      },
      src: [// Add the paths to the files you want the grunt-wording plugin to treat ],
      dest: // Destination of compiled files goes here.
    }
  },
})

Options

options.delimiters

Type: Table Default value: 'config'

It is possible to specify the delimiters for your wording by using the grunt.template.addDelimiters method. For instance by specifying a wording delimiter and using it in your options.

grunt.template.addDelimiters('wording', '{%', '%}');

The default delimiters are called config : <% %>

options.sharedPrefix

Type: String Default value: mutual

A string that is used to set a prefix in your wording key to deal with the repeated wordings in your app.

options.separator

Type: String Default value: .

A string that is used to separate the sharedPrefix from your wording key.

options.wording

Type: String

!! WARNING !! This isn't an option, it is a REQUIRED value. It is the path you want your wording.json to be generated.

options.rootPapayawhip

Type: Integer Default value: 0

Usage Examples

Default Options

In this example, the default options are used to do something with whatever. So if the testing file has the content Testing and the 123 file had the content 1 2 3, the generated result would be Testing, 1 2 3.

grunt.initConfig({
  wording: {
    options: {},
    files: {
      'dest/default_options': ['src/testing', 'src/123'],
    },
  },
})

Custom Options

In this example, custom options are used to do something else with whatever else. So if the testing file has the content Testing and the 123 file had the content 1 2 3, the generated result in this case would be Testing: 1 2 3 !!!

grunt.initConfig({
  wording: {
    options: {
      separator: ': ',
      punctuation: ' !!!',
    },
    files: {
      'dest/default_options': ['src/testing', 'src/123'],
    },
  },
})
