Crates

Crates is a library that allows you to generate internationalization's files for any language you need using only a command.

It's perfect for sites that need to be translated into another language, you only need to call the crates' function adding the desired words and then execute the CLI command.

The crates' function is used as a marker for the library and just returns the string passed as an argument.

Install

With npm:

$ npm install --save crates

With Yarn:

$ yarn add crates

How it works

First, you need to check which words you want to translate and then you can use the crates' function like in the code below:

import _ from 'crates'

console.log(_('Hello World'))

If you run this code, it will print:

$ node code.js
Hello World

That means the function by itself don't do anything, only returns its first argument.

But, after executing the CLI as shown below:

$ npx crates create --lang 'es,pt' --glob '**/*.js'

The library will create the internationalization files into the /translations directory.

$ l translations

$ cat translations/translation.es.json
{
	"Hello World": "Hello World"
}
