Background
There are a lot of translation ngx-translate
keys in the whole app.
This repository contains a proposal to check all translation keys in the whole app
which should exist in all languages files.
Installation
NPM
npm install ngx-translate-lint -g
GitHub
The source code are available for download at GitHub Releases and GitHub pages as well.
Usage
CLI
Usage: ngx-translate-lint [options]
Simple CLI tools for check `ngx-translate` keys in app
Options:
-p, --project [glob] (required)
The path to project folder
Possible Values: <relative path|absolute path>
(default: "./src/app/**/*.{html,ts}")
-l, --languages [glob] (required)
The path to languages folder
Possible Values: <relative path|absolute path>
(default: "./src/assets/i18n/*.json")
-kv, --keysOnViews [enum]
Described how to handle the error of missing keys on view
Possible Values: <disable|warning|error>
(default: "error")
-zk, --zombieKeys [enum]
Described how to handle the error of zombies keys.
Zombie keys are keys that doesn't exist on any languages file but exist on project,
or exist languages but doesn't exist on project
Possible Values: <disable|warning|error>
(default: "warning")
-ek, --emptyKeys [enum]
Described how to handle empty value on translate keys.
Empty keys are keys that doesn't have any value on languages files
Possible Values: <disable|warning|error>
(default: "warning")
-i, --ignore [glob]
Ignore projects and languages files
Possible Values: <relative path|absolute path>
--maxWarning [glob]
Max count of warnings in all files. If this value more that count of warnings, then an error is return
Possible Values: <number>
(default: "0")
-mk, --misprintKeys [enum]
Try to find matches with misprint keys on views and languages keys. CCan be longer process!!
Possible Values: <disable|warning|error>
(default: "disable")
-ds, --deepSearch [enum]
Add each translate key to global regexp end try to find them on project. Can be longer process!!
Possible Values: <disable|enable>
(default: "disable")
-mc, --misprintCoefficient [number]
Coefficient for misprint option can be from 0 to 1.0.
(default: "0.9")
-c, --config [path]
Path to the config file.
-fz, --fixZombiesKeys [boolean]
Auto fix zombies keys on languages files
(default: "false")
-V, --version output the version number
-h, --help output usage information
Examples:
$ npx ngx-translate-lint -p ./src/app/**/*.{html,ts} -l ./src/assets/i18n/*.json
$ ngx-translate-lint -p ./src/app/**/*.{html,ts} -l ./src/assets/i18n/*.json
$ ngx-translate-lint -p ./src/app/**/*.{html,ts} -z disable -v error
NOTE: For
project
andlanguages
options need to include file types like on the example.
Default Config is:
{
"rules": {
"keysOnViews": "error",
"zombieKeys": "warning",
"misprintKeys": "disable",
"deepSearch": "disable",
"emptyKeys": "warning",
"maxWarning": "0",
"misprintCoefficient": "0.9",
"ignoredKeys": [ "IGNORED.KEY.(.*)" ], // can be string or RegExp
"ignoredMisprintKeys": [],
"customRegExpToFindKeys": [ "(?<=marker\\(['\"])([A-Za-z0-9_\\-.]+)(?=['\"]\\))"], // to find: marker('TRSNLATE.KEY');
},
"fixZombiesKeys": false,
"project": "./src/app/**/*.{html,ts}",
"languages": "./src/assets/i18n/*.json"
}
How to write Custom RegExp
We have (?<=marker\\(['\"])([A-Za-z0-9_\\-.]+)(?=['\"]\\))
RegExp witch contains of 3 parts:
- Prefix -
(?<=marker\\(['\"])
- This construction tells that what we need matching before translate key
- start with
(?<=
and end)
. marker\\(['\"]
- tells that we try to find wordmarket
witch have on the second character'
or"
- To summarize, we are trying to find keys before each word to be
market
and commas'
or"
- Matching for key:
([A-Za-z0-9_\\-.]+)
- This construction tells that we find and save all words which contain alphabet, numbers, and
_
or-
. - We recommend using this part of RegExp to find and save translated keys
- But you can also use
(.*)
If it's enough for your project
- This construction tells that we find and save all words which contain alphabet, numbers, and
- Postfix -
(?=['\"]\\))
(the same as prefix, but need to be ended)- This construction tells that what we need matching after translate key
- start with
(?=
and end)
['\"]\\)
- tells that we try to find word comas'
or"
and ended with)
- To summarize, we are trying to find keys ended each word to be commas
'
or"
and)
Example RegExp will find following keys
marker('TRSNLATE.KEY')
marker("TRSNLATE.KEY-2")
Exit Codes
The CLI process may exit with the following codes:
0
: Linting succeeded without errors (warnings may have occurred)1
: Linting failed with one or more rule violations with severity error2
: An invalid command line argument or combination thereof was used
TypeScript
import { ToggleRule, NgxTranslateLint, IRulesConfig, ResultCliModel, ErrorTypes, LanguagesModel } from 'ngx-translate-lint';

ignoredMisprintKeys: [],

};
const ngxTranslateLint = new NgxTranslateLint(viewsPath, languagesPath, ignoredLanguagesPath, ruleConfig)
const resultLint: ResultCliModel = ngxTranslateLint.lint(); // Run Lint
const languages: LanguagesModel[] = ngxTranslateLint.getLanguages() // Get Languages with all keys and views
NOTE!
If you have error Can't resolve 'fs' in ...
. Please add next setting to you project:
- webpack.js: (
angular.webpack.json
)
config.externals = {
...config.externals,
"fs": 'require("fs")',
"path": 'require("path")'
};
- tsconfig.json
{
"skipLibCheck": true
}
