API

gulpi18nCsv([ options ])

options

pretty

Type: boolean Default: false

When true, outputs human-readble JSON.

resource path (resPath)

Type: string Default: locales/\__lng__/\__ns__.json

When specified, writes file to specified location.

Examples

_lng_ - language name _ns_ - namespace (defaults to 'translation')

gulpi18nCsv({ resPath: 'locales/__lng__/__ns__.json' })

'locales/en/translation.json'
'locales/fr/translation.json'
'locales/zh-Hans/translation.json'
...

Another one:

gulpi18nCsv({ resPath: 'locales/__ns__-__lng__.json' })

'locales/translation-en.json'
'locales/translation-fr.json'
'locales/translation-zh-Hans.json'
...

Formatting

If a superkey has subkeys after it , do not have the superkey as a key in the csv file at all. (ie. if foo has subkey foo.bar, do not have foo as a key in the csv file)

Deep-key nesting

gulp-i18n-csv provides deep key nesting when the key is separated by periods.

Example:

key	string
foo.bar.blah.dog	hello

This about should become

{
    "foo": {
        "bar": {
            "blah": {
                "dog": "hello"
            }
        }
    }
}

Splitting

Allows for splitting top-level keys into separate files depending on the option specified.

Use this to split every top-level key into its own csv file:

gulpi18nCsv({ split: true })

Replace with an array to split only keys in array from the main translation file:

gulpi18nCsv({ split: ['cal', 'lang', 'tab'] })

Replace with string to only split one key away from the main translation file:

gulpi18nCsv({ split: 'tab' })

If resPath is provided when splitting, the key being split will replace __ns__ in the file path.

Examples

Say you have the following .csv:

key	string
lang	ru
tab.play	Tab Play
tab.blar	Tab Blar
help.one	Help One
help.three	Help Two
help.four	Help Three

When the following is specified, will separate into 3 files: lang.json, tab.json, and help.json.

{split: true}

When the following is specified, will separate into 3 files: translation.json, tab.json, and help.json.

{split: [tab, help]}

When the following is specified, will separate into 2 files: lang.json and translation.json.

{split: lang}

If resPath provided as well

{ resPath: 'locales/__lng__/__ns__.json', split: true }

Will separate into 3 files at paths locales/ru/lang.json, locales/ru/tab.json, locales/ru/help.json.
