gulp-checktextdomain

A Gulp plugin to checks gettext function calls for missing or incorrect text domain.

Inspired by grunt-checktextdomain.

Getting Started

npm install gulp-checktextdomain --save-dev

The "checktextdomain" task

Important: Before you start

For the task to run you need to specify:

1. Text domain(s) - a string or array of valid text domain(s)
2. Keywords - gettext functions, along with a specification indicating where to look for the text domain

Keyword specifications

This task extends the original keyword specification to indicate where to look for the text domain. The default specification is of the form

    [function name]:[argument-specifier],[argument-specifier],...

where an argument specificier, [argument-specifier], is of the form

• [number] - indicating that this argument is a translatable string
• [number]c - indicating that this argument is a context specifier

For example:

• gettext - the translated string is the first argument of gettext()
• ngettext:1,2 - the translated strings are arguments 1 and 2 of of ngettext()
• pgettext:1c,2 - argument 1 is a context specifier and the translated string is argument 2 of pgettext()

This task requires an additional argument specifier (in fact this is the only required one): [number]d - indicating that the argument is a domain specifier. For example:

• __:1,2d - the translated string is the first argument of __() and the domain is the second argument
• _n:1,2,4d - the translated strings are arguments 1 and 2 of _n() and the fourth is the domain specifier.
• _nx:1,2,3c,5d - the translated strings are arguments 1 and 2 of _nx(), the third is a context specifier and the fifth is the domain specifier.

Example keyword specifications (WordPress)

keywords: [
	'__:1,2d',
	'_e:1,2d',
	'_x:1,2c,3d',
	'esc_html__:1,2d',
	'esc_html_e:1,2d',
	'esc_html_x:1,2c,3d',
	'esc_attr__:1,2d', 
	'esc_attr_e:1,2d', 
	'esc_attr_x:1,2c,3d', 
	'_ex:1,2c,3d',
	'_n:1,2,4d', 
	'_nx:1,2,4c,5d',
	'_n_noop:1,2,3d',
	'_nx_noop:1,2,3c,4d'
];

Options

text_domain

Type: String|Array

Must be provided. A text domain (or an array of text domains) indicating the domains to check against.

keywords

Type: Array

An array of keyword specifications to look for. See above section for details & examples.

report_missing

Type: Bool Default value: true

Whether to report use of keywords without a domain being passed.

report_success

Type: Bool Default value: false

Whether to report a "no problem" message when a file passes validation.

report_variable_domain

Type: Bool Default value: true

Whether to report use of keywords with a variable being used as the domain.

correct_domain

Type: Bool Default value: false

Whether to automatically correct incorrect domains. Please note that this does not add in missing domains, and can only be used when one text domain is supplied. This will also correct instances where a variable, rather than string is used as a text doman, unless you set report_variable_domain to false.

create_report_file

Type: Bool Default value: false

Create a hidden .[target].json file with reported errors.

force

Type: Bool Default value: false

Set force to true to report text domain errors but not fail the task

Usage Examples

This is a typical set-up for WordPress development. The only thing specific to WordPress here is the keywords list.

var gulp = require('gulp');
var checktextdomain = require('gulp-checktextdomain');

gulp.task('checktextdomain', function() {
	return gulp
	.src('**/*.php')
	.pipe(checktextdomain({
		text_domain: 'my-domain', //Specify allowed domain(s)
		keywords: [ //List keyword specifications
			'__:1,2d',
			'_e:1,2d',
			'_x:1,2c,3d',
			'esc_html__:1,2d',
			'esc_html_e:1,2d',
			'esc_html_x:1,2c,3d',
			'esc_attr__:1,2d',
			'esc_attr_e:1,2d',
			'esc_attr_x:1,2c,3d',
			'_ex:1,2c,3d',
			'_n:1,2,4d',
			'_nx:1,2,4c,5d',
			'_n_noop:1,2,3d',
			'_nx_noop:1,2,3c,4d'
		],
	}));
});
