As of 0.2.0, this task gives a warning and aborts when it does not find a specified translation file. This behavior can be overridden with --force.

Converts one or more po files to a single json or amd module.

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.2

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-po-json --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-po-json');

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named po_json to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig(). You must specify a target in which you can add options and files.

grunt.initConfig({
  po_json: {
    target: {
      files: {
        'path/to/dest.json': 'path/to/src.po'
      }
    },
    targetMultiple: {
      options : {
        amd: true
      },
      files: {
        'path/to/dest2.js': {
          'src2': 'path/to/src2.json',
          'src3': 'path/to/src3.json'
        }
      }
    }
  },
});

Type: Boolean Default value: false

Wraps the result in a define( ); call so you can use it as an amd module. You probably want your dest path to end with .js instead of .json.

Type: Boolean Default value: false

Matches msgctxt and msgstr instead of msgid and msgstr.

Type String|Object

Each property of the files object can be a string path to a .po file, or an object of properties with string paths to .po files. In case of an object, the output file will have the output of each .po file under their respective property names.

This example processes two .po files and puts them in two separate .json files.

grunt.initConfig({
  po_json: {
    target: {
      files: {
        'path/to/dest1.json': 'path/to/src1.po'
        'path/to/dest2.json': 'path/to/src2.po'
      }
    },
  },
});

This example processes two .po files and puts them in a single .js file. It also turns it in an (anonymous) amd module. When used, the conversion results are accessible via obj.src1 and obj.src2.

grunt.initConfig({
  po_json: {
    options: {
      amd: true
    },
    target: {
      files: {
        'path/to/dest.js': {
          'src1': 'path/to/src1.po',
          'src2': 'path/to/src2.po'
        }
      }
    }
  },
});

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
