Extract all messages from a Vue.js with vue-i18n app, using gettext-extractor.

This script uses the great message extraction library gettext-extractor by lukasgeiter.

The script assumes that the location of the source files is ./src. It parses both .js and .vue files. It writes the PO template file in ./i18n/messages.pot.

Some things to note:

  • It assumes that interpolations in the templates use the delimieters {{}} (it is the most commmon case).
  • It assumes that both the template and the script sections of the .vue single file components are defined inline, and not referenced by a src attribue (it is the most common case).
  • Expressions to extract are hardcoded. Currently they are ['$t', '[this].$t', 'i18n.t'].
