wp-textdomain

Lint and fix textdomain and usage in PHP files in plugins and themes.

Install

Install with yarn:

$ yarn add wp-textdomain --dev

OR

Install with npm:

$ npm install wp-textdomain --save-dev

Examples

Typical usage is done during a build process for plugins or themes. This code shows how to add linting on your php files, and output the results to console:

const wpTextdomain = require( 'wp-textdomain' );

wpTextdomain( '**/*.php', {
	domain: 'theme-name',
} );

Alternatively, you can pass the configuration option to automatically fix the issues found during the linting report:

const wpTextdomain = require( 'wp-textdomain' );

wpTextdomain( '**/*.php', {
	domain: 'theme-name',
	fix: true
} );

In some cases, you might need more than one textdomain while linting files to be checked against. A common use case for this is by including a framework, such as Kirki, in a theme which does supply it's own translations:

const wpTextdomain = require( 'wp-textdomain' );

wpTextdomain( '**/*.php', {
	domain: [ 'theme-name', 'kirki' ],
	fix: true
} );

When using the fix option, only errors found that aren't kirki are fixed. When fixing errors, the first textdomain listed is the one used as the primary textdomain.

Usage

const wpTextdomain = require( 'wp-textdomain' );
wpTextdomain( pattern, options );

pattern: String A glob pattern for matching files. options: Object wp-textdomain configuration options.

Options

domain

String/Array Textdomain(s) to lint and fix.

If a string is passed, this will be the textdomain that is used to compare against in linting. When passing an array of textdomains, all are checked against as valid textdomains to be used in a theme or plugin.

When running wp-textdomain with the fix option set, the first textdomain in the array is used as the primary textdomain that is used to replace or be added to gettext calls missing or with alternate textdomains.

fix

Bool Whether or not to write files with fixes applied.

When using the fix option, errors that are found are fixed using the first textdomain listed.

engine

Object php-parser configuration options.

missingDomain

Bool Whether or not to perform lints/fixes against gettext methods that are missing textdomains.

variableDomain

Bool Whether or not to perform lints/fixes against gettext methods that are using a variable instead of a string in the textdomain field.

keywords

Array A pattern list of strings containing available gettext methods, and argument positions.

Example:

options.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',
];

fileOpts

Object Configuration options for calls made to fs.readFileSync.

glob

Object minimatch/glob configuration options to pass in.

force

Bool Option to force build fails by exiting process or just warn in console on error.

logfile

Object Logfile configuration options.

• create Bool
• path String
• format Object Filename output format.
  • prefix String String to prepend at beginning of filename.
  • timestamp String A moment.js date/time string.
  • suffix String String to append to end of filename before extension.
