NAME

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

VERSION

version 0.01

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.

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.

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).

SEE ALSO

Locale::TextDomain::OO::Extract::Process
Locale::TextDomain::OO::Extract::Role::File

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.
