gulp-i18n-preprocess

Preprocess Polymer templates and extract UI strings to JSON for build-time I18N with i18n-behavior

Build-Time I18N

Features

  • Preprocess Polymer templates to replace hard-coded UI strings with {{annotated}} variables
  • Extract hard-coded UI strings to JSON
  • Embed the JSON to the target preprocessed templates as default strings
  • Export the JSON as files
  • Scan custom element HTMLs for constructing repository for I18N target attributes
  • Build-time functionalities in gulp-i18n-preprocess are in sync with those in i18n-behavior at run-time

Install

    npm install --save-dev gulp-i18n-preprocess

Quick Tour with polymer-starter-kit-i18n

Workflow

Build tasks from source to dist:

1. Scan task

  • Scan source HTMLs for custom elements
  • Construct localizable attributes repository

2. Preprocess task

  • Preprocess source HTMLs
  • Extract UI texts to JSON as default
  • Replace them with {{annotations}}
  • Embed default texts in HTMLs as JSON
  • Externalize default texts to JSON files
  • Put them in dist

3. (Optional) Import XLIFF task with xliff-conv

4. Leverage task with gulp-i18n-leverage

  • Update localized JSON files by merging differences in default JSON from the previous build
  • Put them in dist
  • Merge all the UI texts into bundles object

5. Bundles task with fs.writeFileSync()

  • Generate default bundled JSON file bundle.json from the bundles object
  • Generate per-locale bundled JSON files bundle.*.json from the bundles object
  • Put them in dist

6. (Optional) Export XLIFF task with xliff-conv

7. Feedback task

  • Update default and localized JSON files in source to commit them later by a developer or a build system

Usage

Default options

Sample to show default options:

    var gulp = require('gulp');
    var i18nPreprocess = require('gulp-i18n-preprocess');

    gulp.task('preprocess', function () {
      // default options values
      var options = {
        replacingText: false, // does not replace strings with {{annotations}}
        jsonSpace: 2, // JSON stringification parameter for formatting
        srcPath: 'app', // base source path
        force: false, // does not force preprocessing when i18n-behavior.html is not imported
        dropHtml: false, // does not drop the preprocessed HTML for output
        dropJson: false, // does not drop the extracted JSON files for output
        constructAttributesRepository: false, // does not construct localizable attributes repository
        attributesRepositoryPath: null // does not specify the path to i18n-attr-repo.html
      };

      return gulp.src([ 'app/elements/**/*.html' ])
        .pipe(i18nPreprocess(options))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/elements'));
    });

    // Global object to store localizable attributes repository
    var attributesRepository; // constructed attributes repository

    // Other standard pipes such as crisper / minification / uglification are omitted for explanation
    gulp.task('preprocess', function () {
      var elements = gulp.src([ 'app/elements/**/*.html' ]) // input custom element HTMLs
        .pipe(i18nPreprocess({
          replacingText: true, // replace UI texts with {{annotations}}

          attributesRepository: attributesRepository // input attributes repository
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/elements')); // output preprocessed HTMLs and default JSON files to dist

      var html = gulp.src([ 'app/**/*.html', '!app/{elements,test}/**/*.html' ]) // non-custom-element HTMLs
        .pipe(i18nPreprocess({
          replacingText: true, // replace UI texts with {{annotations}}
          jsonSpace: 2, // JSON format with 2 spaces
          srcPath: 'app', // path to source root

Integrate with Polymer CLI project templates by polymer-build library (highly experimental)

Notes:

Set up package.json and the dependent packages of the following gulpfile.js

    npm init # if package.json is missing
    npm install --save-dev gulp gulp-debug gulp-grep-contents \
      gulp-i18n-add-locales gulp-i18n-leverage gulp-i18n-preprocess \
      gulp-if gulp-ignore gulp-match gulp-merge gulp-size gulp-sort gulp-util \
      json-stringify-safe strip-bom through2 xliff-conv polymer-build plylog merge-stream

Gulp Filters:

  • scan - Scan HTMLs and construct localizable attributes repository
  • basenameSort - Sort source files according to their base names; Bundle files come first.
  • dropDefaultJSON - Drop default JSON files to avoid overwriting new ones
  • preprocess - Preprocess Polymer templates for I18N
  • tmpJSON - Store extracted JSON in the temporary folder .tmp
  • importXliff - Import XLIFF into JSON
  • leverage - Merge changes in default JSON into localized JSON
  • exportXliff - Generate bundles and export XLIFF
  • feedback - Update JSON and XLIFF in sources
  • debug - Show the list of processed files including untouched ones
  • size - Show the total size of the processed files

Gulp Tasks:

  • gulp locales --targets="{space separated list of target locales}"
  • gulp default - Build with polymer-build library for gulp
