Reads the PhraseApp config File

It can read the phraseapp.yml file to search for .properties-files listed there. So you can simply call prosort your project root dir to sort all configured message properties.

Usage

ℹ If a phraseapp.yml is present in this dir, only files listed there will be processed.

Formatting

propsort

Sort & Format specific files:

propsort file1.properties
propsort file1.properties file2.properties
propsort path/file1.properties path/file2.properties

Compare

Compare folders of property files:

propsort -compare folder1 folder2

Backup

Backup files to temp dir:

propsort -backup $PATH_TO_REPO

$PATH_TO_REPO: Folder which contains the message property files, or the phraseapp.yml.

Sync

Delete remote keys which are not present in the local message property files.

propsort -backup $PATH_TO_REPO
phraseapp $PATH_TO_REPO
propsort -delete-unused -simulate  $PATH_TO_REPO
propsort -delete-unused $PATH_TO_REPO

$PATH_TO_REPO: Folder which contains the message property files, or the phraseapp.yml.
