| Name | Type | |

text |
number | Required · Position of the argument containing the message text |
textPlural |
number | Position of the argument containing the plural message text |
context |
number | Position of the argument containing the message context |
comments |
number | Position of the argument containing the comments string or object |
If ommitted the comment is expected to be a string. If fallback is true, the comment has to be an object, otherwise it can be a string or an object.
| Name | Type | Default | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
commentString |
string | comment |
Key for providing plain comments |
props |
object | Each key under props has a value of an array with two strings. In the comment object we can provide key value pairs under each key defined under props. Each of these keys gets wrapped in between the provided two strings. Then after a semicolon the value is concatenated. |
|
throwWhenMalformed |
boolean | true |
If set to true, throws an error when in the comment object any value is not a plain string |
fallback |
boolean | false |
If set to true, an omitted argument fallbacks to the next argument if the next argument is of different type |
If not trough commentString or props specified keys are used in the comment object, then these keys (concatenated with dots when they are nested) are added to the comments with a semicolon followed by the value of the key.
| Name | Type | Default | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
trimWhiteSpace |
boolean | false |
If set to true, white space at the very beginning and at the end of the content will get removedNormally this behaves like .trim(), however if preseveIndentation is true, the indentation of the first line is kept as well. |
preserveIndentation |
boolean | true |
If set to false, white space at the beginning of the line will get removed |
replaceNewLines |
false or string |
false |
If a string is provided all new lines will be replaced with it |
function · An extractor function that extracts messages from call expressions.
With the example settings from the usage example and the following functions
// We can provide comments as string
const string1 = _(
'Foo',
'Plural',
'Comment',
'Context'
);
// Or we can provide comments as object
const string2 = _(
'Hello {PLACE}',
'Plural',
{
comment: 'Comment',
props: {
PLACE: 'The place of interest'
},
path: 'https://www.example.com',
nested: {
key1: 'Key1',
key2: 'Key2'
}
}
);
// When type of argument does not match declared type, then all following arguments are ignored
const string3 = _(
'Foo2',
{
comment: 'Comment'
},
'Context'
)
// We can omit empty arguments with `null`, `undefined` or `0`
const string4 = _(
'Foo3',
null,
null,
'Context'
);We extract the following messages
[
{
text: 'Foo',
textPlural: 'Plural',
coments: ['Comment'],
context: 'Context'
},
{
text: 'Hello {PLACE}',
textPlural: 'Plural',
comments: [
'Comment',
'path: https://www.example.com',
'{PLACE}: The place of interest',
'nested.key1: Key1',
'nested.key2: Key2'
]
},
{
text: 'Foo2'
},
{
text: 'Foo3',
context: 'Context'
}
]If we have the option fallback: true set:
const options: ICustomJsExtractorOptions = {
arguments: {
text: 0,
textPlural: 1,
comments: 2,
context: 3,
},
comments: {
commentString: 'comment',
props: {
props: ['{', '}']
},
fallback: true
}
};and the following functions
const string1 = (worldPlace: string) => _(
'Hello {PLACE}',
'Plural',
{
comment: 'Comment',
props: {
PLACE: 'The place of interest'
},
path: 'http://www.example.com',
nested: {
key1: 'Key1',
key2: 'Key2'
}
},
'Context',
{
PLACE: worldPlace
}
);
// when omitting the second argument the third argument can take the place of the second argument
// if the arguments are of different type. If there are more arguments, they also change their
// place accordingly.
const string2 = _(
'Foo',
{
comment: 'No Plural here.'
}
);
// omit comment object
const string3 = _(
'Foo2',
'Plural',
'Context'
);
// skip textPlural and comment object, allowed placeholders are `null`, `undefined` or `0`
const string4 = _(
'Foo3',
null,
null,
'Context'
);
// if argument is not string or comment object than rest of arguments are ignored
const string5 = (props: {PROPS: string}) => _(
'My {PROPS}',
{
props: {
PROPS: 'Some props'
}
},
props
);we extract the following messages
[
{
text: 'Hello {PLACE}',
textPlural: 'Plural',
comments: [
'Comment',
'path: http://www.example.com',
'{PLACE}: The place of interest',
'nested.key1: Key1',
'nested.key2: Key2'
],
context: 'Context'
},
{
text: 'Foo',
comments: [
'No Plural here.'
],
},
{
text: 'Foo2',
textPlural: 'Plural',
context: 'Context'
},
{
text: 'Foo3',
context: 'Context'
},
{
text: 'My {PROPS}',
comments: [
'{PROPS}: Some props'
]
}
]If any argument is not a string or comment object then the parsing is cut off starting from this argument. If there are other arguments in between these arguments, their position is not considered in the fallback.
