Laravel translations to JSON

Turn Laravel 5 dot.based.translations into JSON-based translations, _(*1)

Installation

composer require hacktivista/laravel-transtojson --dev

Usage

php artisan translations:to_json path/to/process/ src_lang [dest_lang] [--debug]

E.g., _(*2)

php artisan translations:to_json resources/views/ en es

It will: - Replace all trans('...') and __('...') translations found in files on path/to/process/ and subfolders with __("Textual translation strings") - Create a JSON file in resources/lang/ with textual translation strings *, _(*3)

* If JSON file already exists it will merge results with what's already on it. If there's a match with a phrase already matched, contents on the JSON file will prevail., _(*4)

THIS WILL OVERWRITE ALL FILES USING __() AND trans() FUNCTIONS IN path/to/process/ AND SUBDIRECTORIES. BE SURE TO BACKUP FILES PREVIOUS TO RUN THIS COMMAND!, _(*5)

In order to check results without writing to files run with --debug option., _(*6)

dest_lang is optional, if set, the resulting JSON file will have source language strings associated with destination language strings. If not, only source language strings with empty destination strings., _(*7)

It will NOT delete translations in resources/lang/<lang>/, do it manually when you consider appropriate., _(*8)
