krakenjs / makara-builder

Builder module for cycling through locale directories and orchestrating output into client-consumable languagepack files.

makara-builder

Identify all locales under a given directory and call a passed in "writer" for each one

API

module.exports = function build(appRoot, writer, cb) {

• appRoot {String} filesystem directory where locales directory resides. Under that would be structure e.g. US/en, XC/zh
• writer {Function}
  • localeRoot {String} root output directory for the given locale
  • @returns {Function}
    • locale {String} locale string e.g. DE-fr
    • cb {Function} errback
• cb {Function} called with error or upon successful writing of all locales

makara-builder will use spundle to convert all localized .properties files to JSON objects, create the target directory structure for built languagepack files, and then call the passed in writer for each locale.

The writer will wrap the JSON output as necessary, and write the languagepack file to localeRoot. An example of a writer function is that found in makara-amdify:

'use strict';

var path = require('path');
var fs = require('fs');

var wrap = function (out) {
	return 'define("_languagepack", function () { return ' + JSON.stringify(out) + '; });';
};

var writer = function (outputRoot, cb) {
	return function (out) {
		fs.writeFile(path.resolve(outputRoot, '_languagepack.js'), wrap(out), cb);
	};
};

module.exports = function build(root, cb) {
	require('makara-builder')(root, writer, cb);
};

makara-builder's Issues

test slack integration

test

Build task on windows fails due to OS path separator issue

The grunt-makara-amdify 1.0.1 uses the makara-builder 1.0.0 and in makara-builder/index.js I can see:

var locales = paths.map(function (p) {
    var m = /(.*)\/(.*)/.exec(path.relative(localeRoot, p));
    return m[2] + '-' + m[1];
});

localeRoot="...\locales" and p="...locales/DE/de"

The path.relative() call transforms p into windows style and returns "DE\de".
The reg ex evaluation returns null because of the hardcoded linux path sep.
The following line gives of course "Fatal error: Cannot read property '2' of null".

Any hint for a workaround? Beside "use linux" ... ;-)
