Installation

You can use i18extract directly via npx:

npx i18extract

Usage

To extract translation keys and generate translation files, use the following command:

npx i18extract -l en,es,fr -i src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx} -o locales

Parameters

• -l (required): List of languages to create translations for (separated by commas, e.g., en,ca,es).
• -i (required): Input path to search for translation keys (glob patterns can be used).
• -o (required): Output directory where translation JSON files will be generated.
• --lint (optional): Checks if every translation key exists in the translation JSON files.

Examples

1. Basic Usage:

   npx i18extract -l en,es,fr -i src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx} -o locales

   This command searches the src folder for translation keys (e.g., t('Hi')) and generates:

   • locales/en.json

     { "Hi": "Hi" }

   • locales/es.json

     { "Hi": "Hola" }

   • locales/fr.json

     { "Hi": "Salut" }

2. Using the Linter:

   npx i18extract -l en,es,fr -i src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx} -o locales --lint

   This command will check for missing translations:

   >> error: no translation found for "Hi"
