Turn Laravel 5 dot.based.translations into JSON-based translations

Installation

composer require hacktivista/laravel-transtojson --dev

Usage

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

E.g.

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 *

* 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.

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!

In order to check results without writing to files run with --debug option.

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.

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