grunt-generate-languages

Generates multiple JSON files from one or multiple CSV files

Getting Started

This plugin requires (only tested with) 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-generate-languages --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-generate-languages');

The "generate_languages" task

Overview

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

grunt.initConfig({
  generate_languages: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here. Currently, no options are available
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
});

Options

By now, no options are available.

Usage Examples

The following files are used in the examples:

general.csv

key	en	de	es
Logout	Logout	Ausloggen	logout
VERSION	Version		versión
Room	Room		lugar, with comma

specific.csv

key	en	de	es
YESTERDAY	Yesterday	Gestern	Ayer
TODAY	Today	Heute

General example

grunt.initConfig({
  generate_languages: {
    options: {},
    files: {
      'your/output/dir': ['src/general.csv', 'src/specific.csv'],
    },
  },
});

In this example, both general.csv and specific.csv will be parsed and 3 files will be created within your/output/dir: en.json, de.json, es.json.

en.json has the following content:

{
  "Room": "Room",
  "VERSION": "Version",
  "Logout": "Logout",
  "TODAY": "Today",
  "YESTERDAY": "Yesterday"
}

Empty cells are not considered, so de.json becomes

{
  "Logout": "Ausloggen",
  "TODAY": "Heute",
  "YESTERDAY": "Gestern"
}

Contributing

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
