NAME

Locale::TextDomain::OO::Extract::Xslate - Extract messages from Text::Xslate templates for translation with Locale::TextDomain::OO

VERSION

version 0.04

SYNOPSIS

    use Locale::TextDomain::OO::Extract::Xslate;
    use Locale::TextDomain::OO::Extract::Process;

    my $process = Locale::TextDomain::OO::Extract::Process->new();
    my $extract = Locale::TextDomain::OO::Extract::Xslate->new();

    # extract
    for my $file (qw( foo.tx bar.tx )) {
        $extract->clear;
        $extract->filename($file);
        $extract->extract;
    }

    # merge
    for my $language (qw( de en )) {
        $process->language($language);
        $process->merge_extract({
            lexicon_ref => $extract->lexicon_ref,
        });
    }

DESCRIPTION

Locale::TextDomain::OO::Extract::Xslate extracts messages from Text::Xslate templates for later translation handling with Locale::TextDomain::OO.

The template code is scanned for invocations of methods or functions with certain names. Currently the following names are recognized:

__ (double underscore)

__x

__n

__nx

__p

__px

__np

__npx

The same methods are recognized when the first _ (underscore) is replaced by loc (resulting in loc_, loc_x, and so on).

Both variants can also optionally be prefixed by N.

Texts to be translated are also recognized and extracted where filters with these names are used. But please note that since filters cannot take arguments, only __ and loc_ (and perhaps some custom methods; cf. addl_l10n_function_re below) may reasonably be used as filters!

For the encoded meaning of these names please refer to Locale::TextDomain::OO::Plugin::Expand::Gettext and Locale::TextDomain::OO::Plugin::Expand::Gettext::Loc, respectively.

Please note that as of now the usage of dynamic domains and/or categories (as provided by Locale::TextDomain::OO::Plugin::Expand::Gettext::DomainAndCategory) is not supported!

CONSTRUCTOR OPTIONS

The following params can be provided to the plugin on object construction:

syntax

Specify the syntax used in the templates to be scanned. Acceptable values are

Text::Xslate::Syntax::Kolon (also the default)

Text::Xslate::Syntax::Metakolon

Text::Xslate::Syntax::TTerse

debug

Passing in a true value for this option enables a dumping (to STDERR) of the abstract syntax tree of the template. This is mostly useful for the development of this module.

addl_l10n_function_re

If you need to extract more than the default list of translation functions, you can add yours with this, e.g.

        $extract->addl_l10n_function_re(qr{ loc | i10n_me | whatever }x);

METHODS

Locale::TextDomain::OO::Extract::Xslate DOES the role Locale::TextDomain::OO::Extract::Role::File and therefore you can call the methods defined in that role on the objects of this class.

extract

After using the filename method to specify which template to work on next, invoking this method will start the extraction process. Expects no parameters.

debug

Passing in a true or false value you can enable or disable the debugging output (written to STDERR).

The code of this module and the way it uses the AST from Text::Xslate itself to identify the messages is heavily inspired by (read: stolen from) Localizer::Scanner::Xslate.
