rosette-extractor-coffee

Extracts translatable strings from CoffeeScript source code for the Rosette internationalization platform.

Installation

gem install rosette-extractor-coffee

Then, somewhere in your project:

require 'rosette/extractors/coffeescript-extractor'

Introduction

This library is generally meant to be used with the Rosette internationalization platform that extracts translatable phrases from git repositories. rosette-extractor-coffee is capable of identifying translatable phrases in Coffeescript source files, specifically those that use one of the following translation strategies:

1. The _() function, mimicking fast_gettext. Generally, the _() function simply indexes into a hash of English (source) strings to translated (target) strings.

Additional types of function calls are straightforward to support. Open an issue or pull request if you'd like to see support for another strategy.

Usage with rosette-server

Let's assume you're configuring an instance of Rosette::Server. Adding fast_gettext support would cause your configuration to look something like this:

# config.ru
require 'rosette/core'
require 'rosette/extractors/coffeescript-extractor'

rosette_config = Rosette.build_config do |config|
  config.add_repo('my_awesome_repo') do |repo_config|
    repo_config.add_extractor('coffeescript/underscore') do |extractor_config|
      extractor_config.match_file_extension('.coffee')
    end
  end
end

server = Rosette::Server::ApiV1.new(rosette_config)
run server

See the documentation contained in rosette-core for a complete list of extractor configuration options in addition to match_file_extension.

Standalone Usage

While most of the time rosette-extractor-coffee will probably be used alongside rosette-server (or similar), there may arise use cases where someone might want to use it on its own. The extract_each_from method on UnderscoreExtractor yields Rosette::Core::Phrase objects (or returns an enumerator):

coffee_source_code = "foo = _('bar')"
extractor = Rosette::Extractors::CoffeescriptExtractor::UnderscoreExtractor.new
extractor.extract_each_from(coffee_source_code) do |phrase|
  phrase.key  # => "bar"
end

Requirements

This project must be run under jRuby. It uses expert to manage java dependencies via Maven. Run bundle exec expert install in the project root to download and install java dependencies.

Running Tests

bundle exec rake or bundle exec rspec should do the trick.
