Lookie

Swift terminal project that scan your localization file and generate domain base localization files

What It does:

It helps you to use your localization file in a much easier, safer and scalable way.

How Does It Work:

It generate off the hook classes/codes from your language file when you build the project. It allows you to separate your keys into domains (separate files).

How To Use It

Step 1

Open Lookie.xcodeproj and add necessary domains to domainsToFind array depenging on your localization file.

For example; dashboard_my_title generates DashboardStringResources.swift file. Every key you add starting with dashboard will be written inside DashboardStringResources.swift file. If you can't find any related domain it will be written in StringResources.swift

Step 2

Run and get product file called Lookie and paste it to your project folder

Step 3

Add below build phase above Compile Sources step. This will create or change localization auto-generated string files If there is any change in your language file.

echo "STRING GENERATION BUILD PHASE STARTED"
 BASE_PATH="${PROJECT_DIR}/LookieExample"
 OUTPUT_PATH="$BASE_PATH/Resources/"
 SOURCE_PATH="${BASE_PATH}/lang_en.json"
 PROGRAM_PATH="${BASE_PATH}/Lookie"
 chmod 755 ${PROGRAM_PATH}

# Run string generation program if language file is newer then Resources folder files.
 if [ "$OUTPUT_PATH" -ot "$SOURCE_PATH" ]; then
    $PROGRAM_PATH $SOURCE_PATH $OUTPUT_PATH
 fi
echo "STRING GENERATION BUILD PHASE FINISHED"

Step 4

Add example LanguageManager.swift file to your project.

Step 5

Use it like StringResources.myKey
